In spite of all your bravado, bullsh*t and claims of invincibility, what is really important in a conflict is results. So far Russian results in Syria are more than obvious to any following events but your coalition has very few notable achievements to show for its efforts after some four years of conflict. What you are in denial of, is that YOU and your coalition partners are competing for reputation with probably the finest military in the World today.
Does Russia have the best armed forces in the world? – The Saker
Russia's military forces are arguably the most effective in the world today because they possess an unmatched combination of a clearly defined and realistic mission, the ability to wage war at every level, and a strong military tradition.
So, if the purpose of a country’s armed forces is to achieve specific and political objectives, this directly implies that saying that some country’s armed forces can do anything, anywhere and at any time is nonsense. You cannot access a military outside a very specific set of circumstances:
1) Where: Space/geographical ..... 2) When: Time/duration ..... 3) What: political objective
Yet, what we see, especially in the USA, is a diametrically opposite approach. It goes something like this:
(Paphitis, he obviously reads your posts ……..)
“ We have the best trained, best equipped and best armed military on earth; no country can compete with our advanced stealth bombers, nuclear submarines, our pilots are the best trained on the planet, we have advanced network-centric warfare capabilities, global strike, space based reconnaissance and intelligence, we have aircraft carriers, our Delta Force can defeat any terrorist force, we spend more money training our special forces than any other country, we have more ships than any other nation, etc. etc. etc.”

It was Assad himself that granted the Kurds autonomy early on once the 2011 debacle began!
