Russia Claims ISIS Now On The Ropes As Fighters Desert After 60 Airstrikes In 72 Hours
One question that’s been asked repeatedly over the past thirteen months is why Washington has been unable to achieve the Pentagon’s stated goal of “degrading and defeating” ISIS despite the fact that the “battle” pits the most advanced air force on the planet against what amounts to a ragtag band of militants running around the desert in basketball shoes.
Those of a skeptical persuasion have been inclined to suggest that perhaps the US isn’t fully committed to the fight. Explanations for that suggestion range from the mainstream (the White House is loathe to get the US into another Mid-East war) to the “conspiratorial” (the CIA created ISIS and thus doesn’t want to destroy the group due to its value as a strategic asset).
The implication in all of this is that a modern army that was truly determined to destroy the group could likely do so in a matter of months if not weeks and so once Russia began flying sorties from Latakia, the world was anxious to see just how long the various rebel groups operating in Syria could hold up under bombardment by the Russian air force.
The answer, apparently, is “less than a week.”
On Saturday, the Russian Ministry of Defense said it has conducted 60 bombing runs in 72 hours, hitting more than 50 ISIS targets.
According to the ministry (Facebook page is here), Islamic State fighters are in a state of “panic” and more than 600 have deserted.
Here's what happens when the Russians locate a terrorist "command center":
According to The Kremlin, the structure shown in the video is (or, more appropriately, "was") "an ISIS hardened command centre near Raqqah." Su-34s hit it with concrete-piercing BETAB-500s setting off a series of explosions and fires that "completely destroyed the object."
Here's RT:
Surgical airstrikes by Russian fighter jets have knocked out a number of Islamic State installations in Syria, including the battle headquarters of a jihadist group near Raqqa, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
“Over the past 24 hours, Sukhoi Su-34 and Su-24M fighter jets have performed 20 sorties and hit nine Islamic State installations,” Igor Konashenkov, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman, reported.
Konashenkov added that yesterday evening Russian aircraft went on six sorties, inflicting strikes on three terrorist installations.
“A bunker-busting BETAB-500 air bomb dropped from a Sukhoi Su-34 bomber near Raqqa has eliminated the command post of one of the terror groups, together with an underground storage facility for explosives and munitions,” the spokesman said.
Commenting on the video filmed by a Russian UAV monitoring the assault near Raqqa, Konashenkov noted, “a powerful explosion inside the bunker indicates it was also used for storing a large quantity of munitions.
“As you can see, a direct hit on the installation resulted in the detonation of explosives and multiple fires. It was completely demolished,” the spokesman said.
And here's the Russian Defense Ministry taking a page out of the US Postal Service's "neither rain, sleet, snow, nor hail" book on the way to serving notice that nothing is going to stop the Russian air force from exterminating Assad's enemies in Syria:
Twenty-four hours a day #UAV's are monitoring the situation in the ISIS activity areas. All the detected targets are effectively engaged day and night in any weather conditions.
Now obviously one must consider the source here, but Kremlin spin tactics aside, one cannot help but be amazed with the pace at which this is apparently unfolding. If any of the above is even close to accurate, it means that Russia is on schedule to declare victory over ISIS (and everyone else it looks like) in a matter of weeks, which would not only be extremely embarrassing for Washington, but would also effectively prove that the US has never truly embarked on an honest effort to rid Syria of the extremist groups the Western media claims are the scourge of humanity.

"We are regular people who are fed up with lies and deception that comes from the triad known as Isreal/Saudis/USA."
You "regular people" have a responsibilty not to let people murder in your name. There was never a 'need' to have a war time/ occupying force to 'protect' the USA 'homeland'
If you wish redemption, you will have to bite the bullet and initiate change and get rid of the CIA, take the job of Commander in Chief away from a politician who has no experience with these things, reduce the armed forces sginficantly to a strictly defense force. Being tough is not being 'great' and what I have observed in my lifetime, the armed forces did not do much good for America after WW2 and America's involment in that may have been orchestrated as well. That was a war between peoples on the other side of the world till Pearl Harbor got hit, but that was preventable if I am not mistaken.
There are no 'innocent' citizens left, you have a choice. You have to take the system down and change it or live with the consequences.
My consent was withdrawn quite some time ago.
It's your active oppostion that he was referring to.
BB
Common folk who blame everything that happens on the planet on Israel
So who the hell are you helping!
I am pointing out the fact that people are waking up, and what Russia now did was to expose USA/Isreal/Saudis to what they have been doing in the ME for decades. There is no going back from here. This will only escalate. I am actively doing my part waking people up, especially given that I do not even live in the US.
hahaha! ... yeah ... sure I do! ... I constantly say they should have bombed people, I do that all the time! ... oh, wait ... no I don't! ... I've been saying the exact opposite to that for years in here.
I've especially been saying that anyone who supports any side is supporting EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS ANY OTHER SIDE.
And yes, you are definitely a troll, and yes, you deliberately misrepresented my words, and are claiming the diametric opposite of everything I have said.
So thanks troll ... you can have your rainbow colored slurpee now. :D
If I have misinterpreted your posts then I apologize, and as such I would like to hear what you would purpose as a solition to this. So far, doing nothing has only proven that Israel/Saudis/US will continue doing what they have been doing for decades. Toppling legitimate governments and killing innocents. How do we solve this? I think we are way past the point of no return as peaceful resolution goes, as I cannot imagine that Isreal/Saudi/US will let this go just like that.
Yes, an eye for an eye is never a solution, as such solutions only feed the fire. But how do you solve this. Putin has times and times again approached the West to resolve to peace and understanding, but the West is not interested. They keep demonizing Putin as if he is Stalin himself.
So, I am all ears.
Yeah OK, well first thing, stop thinking Putin is any more 'innocent', or any more 'pure', than Obama, they are exactly the same thing. When you get that far let me know, and we can talk sensibly.
Until then the ONLY thing I give a damn about here, are the people in the middle of two sides (actually at least ten sides) who are getting butchered for dumbshit reasons, and I see no equanimity or concurrence from either Putin or Obama over that one.
And then there's Tyler, wanting to paint it as not at all about Putin protecting the people of Syria from worse (which is Putin's declared aim), that will come otherwise. Instead, he's playing silly buggers talking about geopolitical 'coups' thus muddying the waters further with imaginary geowarz baloney and getting well away from the people in the meat grinder, in order to generate some cheap click-bait.
So seriously, when you can get over the polarization and mind fucking of all of that muck, and of picking a favorite side all the time, we can talk like sane human beings for the first time, because then you will actually start to think sanely about this whole situation.
And if Obama and Putin ever want to sort this out (yeah, big IF dat) they also have to quit the polarization propaganda warz, and look at what the hell they're both actually doing, as what they are is what they're doing, and it is due to the imaginings which they keep foisting on ad into this world, with their just so versions of an ideal world (they want to dominate to allegedly 'save', so it's all for the good, right?).
Well, while principled idealism is fighting its insane 'good-fight' for global dominance, people are still slaughtered all the more, and the scumbags who are the most mind-fucked by their own mad imaginings, are taking full advantage to damage and polarize the world even more, at every possible opportunity.
I'm Jack's total lack of surprise.
Look at all those sneakers. They must shop at a sporting goods store.
CIA told them to wear them so they would know where to airdrop their supplies. Since last week they have been told to switch to Black sneakers.

ISIS is CIA/Mossad. Why do YOU think they wear white shoes? Don't stress your one brain cell.
And you think that the Russians love a half-breed Muslem like you? They hate them! Hey, why don't you fly that DC-8 into Al-Aqsa Mosque? You are nothing but a demented troll.
haha, says the shit for brains Americunt burger flipper with NO future
Half breed Muslim ? ROFLMAO

Alfred may well be more than one individual.That is fine with me.All his comments are entertaining and very true most of the time.
Russians for many centures live alongside with Muslims. Russians conquerred some of their lands, but offered recognition of their native culture and religion. This is why Tatars, Bashkirs and other Muslims living in Russian Federation don't feel themselves hated. Mixed Tatar-Russian families are very common in Russia, nobody hates them. This is utter nonsense on your side.
Yes. The fighters are deserting. To Europe.

Its hard to know what happened there but whatever it was Chavez came back to power 2 days after being supposedly ousted. The rumors goes that the coup was false and a tool to see who actually was on his side. During the coup a general went on TV and declared that he asked Chavez to resign and he (Chavez) handed his resignation to him, yet nothing happened to said general (a supposed traitor and Pinochet wannabe) two days later when Chavez came back.
Rumor goes that an iraqui general once proposed such a plan to Saddam Hussein, and feign his death to see who was loyal, but Saddam shot him on the spot.
Americas Third World War
How 6 million People Were killed in CIA secret wars against third world countries
See below THE SECRET WARS OF THE CIA:
John Stockwell, former CIA Station Chief in Angola in 1976, working for then Director of the CIA, George Bush. He spent 13 years in the agency. He gives a short history of CIA covert operations. He is a very compelling speaker and the highest level CIA officer to testify to the Congress about his actions. He estimates that over 6 million people have died in CIA covert actions, and this was in the late 1980's.

Tack on another 10 million PLUS innocents killed in Vietnam and Iraq.
I'm thinking Soros IS the CIA now. What a group of complete fucktards! Money is as money does. We Soros'ed some folks. You have to admit the line "running around the desert in basketball shoes" if hilarious.
"Mission Accomplished"
Obama should take lessons from a REAL man of War.This is how you get SHIT done,fast,efficient and NO RULES bra!.
Pound their asses into dogfood,meanwhile we bomb a hospital full of rebels,er' Dr's,patients.
Like I saw and heard in ‘nam and ISIS recently discovered it doesn’t take that many hours of Russian continuous bombing for one to feel the next bomb has your name written on it. No matter how much zealotry was instilled in ISIS fighters the human condition prevails. This is why every vet knew the spineless Obama “bombing” campaign was a shameful joke…
Slimy AlfredNeumann has left at this article 91 (!!!) comments. Now that is one dedicated criminal putin regime paid troll.
Get a life pathetic one! :D
Putin pays me 500 roubles per comment. Its a great life. Your Daddy Putin is a generous man.
Thanks to your being my bitch boy, I am making good money commenting for Putin.
Here we agree - for fuck's sake Alfrad - why not pack more into each post rather than treat the board like its fucking twitter?>
Hey Latvian potato eater... you get kicked in the ass again and again, and yet you open more accounts and troll these pages with your pathetic vitriol and bile. You sir are the ignorant one. You sir haven't got a clue. YOU SIR ARE A FRAUD.
Now fuck off with you lies and laughable propaganda.
But we know this can't be true that Russia is kicking ass and taking names because the White House spokesman said Russia would just get bogged down and that Putin was on the "wrong side of history" ... apparently not realizing that air power in a desert against terrorists with no air defenses can be pretty effective ....
Clap.Clap.Clap.
Hate to give kudos to a KGB killer, but Putin certainly schools our commuity organizer, community agitator, far-Left minstral-to-the-lame-brained, Marxist POTUS, doesn't he?
God Help the USA.
Russia takes care in 72 hours what Obama can't in 1 year.
Putin should change the name of their operation from 'Operation Liberty'' to ''Operation 72 Virgin Express''
It's rumored the Russians are developing their own deck of Terrorist playing cards..They had a hard time deciding if Obomba would be the Ace of Spades,or the Queen of Hearts,but had no trouble with John Kerry (The Joker),or George Soros (The King of Diamonds)..
I heard Obomber urinal cakes are selling like crazy.

Are trolls in such short supply that they have to recruit something this lame?
Will ISIS target Russian forces and bases?
Sure they will, ONCE
Is it possible that IS and it's backers realised a few weeks ago the game was up and began to evacuate Syria in the guise of refugees? Hence Merkel's willingness to accept them.
Since when are soldiers labeled refugees? Just wait a couple weeks...

What about all the billions the US spent supposedely on the war against ISIS ? I suppose there will never be any investigation or hearings thanks to extreme corruption in every branch. The press has also been fully uncovered as a completely useless pile of human waste. Even now the press sees nothing wrong with this outrageous fraud against the American people.

'Is it possible, is it even conceivable that the Jews, by sheer weight of their influence alone, could unleash a world war? It is probably unbelievable, and yet this is exactly what has happened three times in the course of the last half century, in 1900, with the Transvaal war, in 1917, with the entrance of the Americans into the war on the side of the Allies, and in 1939, with the commencement of the Second World War.
In this chapter I am simply going to deal with the case of the entry of the United States into the First World War in 1917 on the side of the Allies, and I will show that this contention rests on solid proof.'

The 600 left with the hundreds of thousands of refugees to Germany. This just moves the ISIS cells to a wealthier country to capture and crush in a few years.
Wait.
Russia does 4 days what the U.S. couldn't (or *wouldn't*) do in years?
Something smells.
Obama wants and has worked to destroy Israel not his Muslim Brotherhood friends running ISIS.
How is it that Putin can do in a week what a year of U.S.-led air strikes against Islamic State militants couldn't accomplish?!
I'm disappointed in ZH for not seeing how this will be spun. The chicken hawks in Congress will blame this on insufficient military spending and promptly push for a $1.5 Trillion a year military budget.
...and it will get the stamp of approval from the TEA PARTY.
Incompetence or rather wilful negligience of west is so glaring.
Kill 'em all.
in german news (n-tv) murica is planning a big strike on rakka and has delivered weapons to rebels to attack rakka.
well, wag the dog full mode.
information warfare in 95% mode.
100 % is when we learn by msm that all isis fighters are in integration camps in europe to learn solid professions.....
btw not a single word about russian bombs there today
all this starts to read like dumb and dumber on a international stage
reporter asks mccain if he thinks russia is targetting isis on cnn.
the rest is self explanatory after 5 seconds when mccain states "he thinks" (russia is not targetting isis)
Sounds good so far. But I'll believe it is really working when refugees start going back to Syria.
They will not go back, unless they are expelled from Europe. They are not refugees for the most part. They are warriors of Islam, for EU conquest.
