If he really did say that (and I can’t be bothered to investigate), he must be in severe pain and anguish right now as he watches his “super empire” pushed to the side by a little fella from Russia... :lol:


Don't worry little man. No one is in pain other than Putin right now because of what he is doing. Obama is in full control.

Syrian rebels decry Russian airstrikes: 'we have not had Isis here in over a year' <-- Who cares? :lol:
“If their war is by planes, we can’t do anything about it, but we challenge the Russians to come fight us face to face in the liberated lands, and we want the friends of Syria to supply us with long-range and anti-aircraft weapons.”

The Iraqi air force claims to have killed Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This is the not the first time his death has been reported, only for him to resurface later, but here’s hoping.

I haven't seen any reports suggesting there has been any increase in refugee numbers since Russia started destroying the terrorist strongholds in Syria.

Maybe the people of Syria have been given hope?

A military statement said the missile systems locked radar on the Turkish jets for two minutes while Syrian SU-22 and SU-24 jets placed the Turkish planes under lock for two minutes and 35 seconds. It said the incidents occurred on Saturday.
Turkey has been complaining about harassment of its jets on border patrols for the past week.

The fight against DAESH is actually progressing quite well in Iraq.

Syria on the other hand is a different matter. DAESH have regained momentum there due to Russian actions against groups which oppose DAESH. As we both know, there have been no Russian strikes against DAESH.
