(conservativepapers.com) Surprise, Putin does in a week what Obama could not do in years regarding the a conflict in Syria. Just days into the conflict and Russian jets have already performed 14 combats flights, conducting six pinpoint airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria on Friday.
Russian Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback drops bombs.
The question is why did Obama not order such airstrikes months ago when he had a chance.? Putin has long said both the Russian and Americans intelligence knew ISIS position, but the USA led by an Obama leadership refused to target them. The question is why not?
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the goal of the United States in Syria is different than what is publicly stated by Obama. In August intelligence analysts said the Pentagon is not targeting an estimated 60 Islamic State training camps considered key in the ISIS effort to capture and hold territory.
Putin became frustrated with Obama’s inaction in Syria, while the leftist western media showed the dead body of the Kobani child refugee Aylan Kurd on the Turkish beach. They wanted the world to feel bad for the Syrian refugees so we would open our borders, but they never considered the root cause, ISIS and the so called revolution in Syria.
We say so-called revolution as its not a true revolution, as many fighters against Assad are even not Syrian citizens, radicals are coming from many countries, including Russia, they have flocked to Iraq and Syria to join the terrorist groups .
Conservative Eastern European leaders had enough of the refugees streaming into their countries and pleaded to Putin for help off the record, they needed Russian help to control the situation as Europe was literally being flooded with refugees in the tens of thousands per week.
Today in the Syrian town of Maarrat Al-Nuuman in the Idlib province, a Russian Su-25 attack aircraft completely brought down a large terrorist workshop, which was producing bombs and improvised explosive devices for terrorist attacks. Both USA and Russian satellites spotted these workshops months ago. Both countries intelligence knew about this location for months, but Obama failed to act for some reason, Putin did and now its no longer a threat! It’s destroyed!
Another nearby IS base that the intelligence community know about was hosting weaponry and military vehicles, this was also targeted by the Russians. Ten pieces of military hardware, including several APCs, were eliminated by Russia, again for some reason Obama refused to bomb these IS sites.
The Russian have been busy, another terrorist command center was destroyed by Su-24-M and Su-25 attack aircrafts near the town of Khan Shaykhun in Idlib province.
In the Al-Latamna district of Hama Governorate, guided air bombs delivered from Su-34 bombers blew up a militant’s underground Headquarters, again both USA and Russia know of these locations for a long time, only Russia took the initiative to destroy them.
Another Russian Su-25 aircraft targeted two bunkers in the same area which had been hosting Islamic State command centers and arm depots. Russian munitions at one of the depots detonated and caused a total destruction of the terrorist bunkers.
On Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry addressed leftist Propaganda and concerns sounded by the Western politicians and media that Russian bombardment actually targeted democratic Syrian opposition forces, instead of IS, and led to civilian casualties.
The Russian ministry stressed that it’s after IS in Syria, adding that all airstrikes are based on accurate intelligence data and take place away from residential areas. If they hit US trained rebels then thats because they joined ISIS or were working with them side by side.
The Russian aviation has been carrying out airstrikes against Islamic State and other terrorist groups in Syria only since Wednesday and did more damage to ISIS in the past few days than the Obama administration was able to do in the past 3 years.
Putin said these terrorist must be defeated as so many come from Europe, USA and Russia and he wants to guarantee they do not return to the west with battle experience and ideology adopted in the war zone and start killing European and Americans.
Western Europe too now seems to be siding with Russia leaving Obama disastrous leadership in Syria, A spokesman of the Foreign Ministry in Germany said they would welcome a greater engagement of Russia in the fight against the IS. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier even announced, with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and the French colleague Laurent Fabius, a push to start to end the civil war in Syria.
Also Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen told der Spiegel, they Welcome Russia’s involvement in the fight against the extremist Islamic State.
