Russia totally annihilating ISIS: big embarrassment for Obama

You're being a bit foolish on this one. Putin isn't even hitting ISIS, he is bombing opponents of the Assad regime. Haven't you noticed? They are not the same ax ISIS.

They are not ISIS fighters. The reason the West is annoyed is precisely that. We think he is bombing the wrong people.

Now one of his passenger jets has been brought down, he is finding middle eastern wars can be as complicated as we find them.

You do like to wade into a position, usually a very opiniated one but not backed by much analysis. I haven't yet worked out whether you do it to get a rise out if people, whether you are just wankered all the time, or whether you just like to post random rants.

Perhaps I will be enlightened one day .

Putin has hit quite a few ISIS targets. From which source have you heard he is not? He appears actually to be bombing BOTH ISIS and "freedom fighters" against Assad. Putin of course knows there is some terrorist backlash like with that passenger plane.

I agree Russia has focused most of its involvement in Syria on hitting rebel targets to shore up territory for the regime. but now that Russia has apparently been provoked by ISIS it might be forced to hit back. wouldnt you say? And why would ISIS attack Russia if Russia has not bombed them? If Russia is bombing the "rebels", ISIS would be happy, right?

Oh God, now we have to listen and believe Putin as his opposition mysteriously drops dead all over Russia. He doesn't give a Shit about Isis unless they influence the Muslim population in Chechnya. The guy locks up the oligarchs to take their money. He's amassed hundreds of millions in his personal accounts. He holds countries hostage over oil. He will maintain control in Russia until he's dead. He wants to sell arms to Iran and Hezbollah and Syria and China. He certainly views us as a threat. US politicians lie but Putin can't tell the truth. He's about as honest as lance Armstrong and Floyd doping together.
