Russia sent a note to Pentagon to remove all planes and fighter jets from Syrian airspace cause Russia now controls it. Pentagon said fuck off.
Russian parliament authorized Putin to use Russian army in Syria this morning.

What triggered Putin to demand US be removed from Syria?
It also could push ISIS out of Syria and increase there presence in Iraq....which would then be our problem

To quote someone, I don't know who to give credit to, "Putin is playing chess and Obama is playing checkers"
Putin understands that he controls enough of the energy to Europe that he won't experience resistance from them,
now he just has to make sure takes complete control over them. He needs to act fast before someone gets in the
1600 Penn. Ave that will stand up to him. Carly just might be the person for that, she has shown some real fire in that dept. Trump is going to let Putin run rampant around the Syria. Says why not let someone else sort it out?
I think Putin has played this masterfully. They say that under $70 a barrel oil the Russian economy is in free fall, but what is really happening over there? Seems the Russian Empire is just getting bigger and stronger.

I think Russia would fund his campaign. He's the best thing ever for them.
did you mean "inexperienced"?
Russia just confirmed they have in fact already run air strikes,

$600 freaking million- that's for one year. Because arming "rebels" to the teeth always works out so well.
It's also got $715 million for Iraqi soldiers, and $200 million for Ukraine:

This is happening as the federal government is due to shut down at midnight tonight. But that looks like it's not going to happen.
The thing about Russias involvement in Syria, they can just go in an indiscriminatly bomb the poop out of any place they want. Innocent lives matter little to the Russians or Assad. When the US kills innocents it is somehow used as a recruitment tool for the bad guy and the world and our own media comes down on us.

We've had a little problem with US weapons ending up with Al Qaeda: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/rebel-commander-weighs-in-on-why-u-s-traini…
Ironically, it was the US that helped create Al Qaeda when we did this same thing in Afghanistan decades ago.
Russia has several bases in Syria, and has used Syria as a base for their Mediterranean fleet, along with the one in Ukraine which NATO surrounded.
We in the Western world fought a war against terrorism and now we are supporting the same fundamentalist shitbags with weapons and the Koran. It´s a disgrace! We arm the ones responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria - so much for our humanitarian and peaceful concerns, right?
Russia gets to protect its interests, its allies and kill thousands of Chechens jihadists who have gone to Syria to fight the conservative Sunni war against a secular regime. Go Putin!!
Also, todays Russian bombing is being blown way out of proportions. It is perfectly normal to tell NATO aircraft to stay out while they carry out their missions, just like it is for NATO to do when they rund exercises or bombing campaigns.
putin is going to annihilate these idiots and i cant wait to watch all the videos online.
john mccain is sad right now that his kidnapping terrorist 'moderate' friends may be in danger.
This is nothing new. Reagan supported Saddam, then his VP went after Saddam when Saddam threatened his Arab friends and oil interests in Saudi Arabia. Reagan supported Muslim "rebels" (terrorists?) in Afghanistan...
Our foreign policy is incredibly short-sighted, always has been.
meant to point out that 99% of people dont realize russia is doing more good in the region than we are, yet still come off as 'bad'
Also, the Mujahideen was not an enemy during the Soviet-Afghan war, they became one later 20 years later. In the current Syrian conflict, the fundamentalists are current enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan and on home turf, but they are being supported with advanced weapons and money in Syria. That is vastly different and IMO way worse.
