End of ISIS? Putin 'sending 150,000 soldiers to Syria to WIPE OUT evil Islamic State' VLADIMIR Putin is preparing to send 150,000 troops to Syria in a bid to wipe out the evil Islamic State once and for all as he hints at joining the West following the Paris attacks.

The city is the self-declared capital of ISIS in Syria and is patrolled by as many as 5,000 jihadi members. Putin is set to mobilise 150,000 reservists who he conscripted into the military in September. Yesterday, following the Paris attacks, Putin hinted he was ready to join forces with the West to tackle Islamic State. He told David Cameron: "The recent tragic events in France show that we should join efforts in preventing terror."

"This is fast becoming a race to Raqqa – to secure the oil fields they need to cleanse the region of insurgents, and the IS capital is vital to do that." In a show of strength, Russian jets have previously obliterated nine ISIS outposts in just 24 hours using bunker-busting bombs.

"These and other highly exact means of attack in recent days have been used to target objects of Islamic State terrorists. "Command posts, stores of weapons and oil products, workshops where weapons of suicide bombers are made." Meanwhile a terrorism expert revealed to Express.co.uk ISIS have vastly exaggerated their military strength and called on Western leaders to launch a co-ordinated fightback which would obliterate the hate group. Dr Afzal Ashraf said ISIS has become its own worst enemy with its campaign of terror against the West, which has prompted an international backlash. You just know the Russian's include the rebels when they say 'Evil'.
I'll tell you this for nowt, they're not 'joining the west'. They're trying to get themselves into a position to protect Assad, from the inside. This is like watching a really predictable war movie.
Kind of scuppers our plans to utilise 70,000 Rebels to fight ISIS(And Assad, lets be honest) without causing conflict with the Russians doesn't it?
Absolutely - except with the movie, we know the "goodies" (not talking about Bill Oddie there by the way) will win in the end - in this one it's scary to think what may be happening!
The plan sort of easily dissolves though mate, we've (the west) got crippling sanctions on Russia, all we need to do is relax them in exchange for him to **** off and things can be resolved without the need for big wars. Putin's many things, but he's not stupid. The world is $57 Trillion in debt and the middle east is a gold mine, there's no other way of solving that scale debt than to wipe out entire nations. Can you imagine the productivity coming out of the middle east if it was entirely owned by one country, such as the UAE? The fight for control over that region is beginning.
Don't forget though, when all of the innocent Syrians are on the end of one of these missiles, it's what god wanted, god made all of this happen.
Either they were totally mad or it would seem, a terrorist cell blending in with the community over there; whatever happened it is truly shocking as they were sat down eating a meal with the people they went on, shortly after, to shoot. As regarding the bombing of the sick bastards in Syria, I think Hilary Benn nailed the reason for bombing the terrorists in his speech at the Commons yesterday. http://www.theguardian.com/politics...aunches-shock-and-awe-campaign-against-labour In reality, there is no longer any borders, so to allow them to run amok before running over a line in the sand to safety is IMO ridiculous. Let's face it, men, women and children have been at the mercy of these utterly evil bastards for months and months. The stories of the atrocities they have carried out are beyond comprehension and the civilised world should have united far, far sooner to stop them AND their sponsors; so hunt the feckers down. I have no doubt that when they are neutralised there will be even more heart wrenching stories of their horrendous treatment of innocent people, just as with the Natzis and their concentration camps after WW2, that are yet to be heard. As always, it's the children that suffer the most
America has now said that women can operate in all combat jobs in their military. This includes the likes of delta and seals. They can even be tank drivers (most cant drive a ****ing toyota twatting prius let alone a tank). I am totally against this. The only way is to let them have an all female combat unit. Let them crack on. Heavrn help them if any are taken alive.
That was a brilliant speech by Tony Benn and hugely relevant at that time. How though would it have gone down had he said that same speech in 1934 when our labour activists were fighting the fascists in Spain, or when war was debated 1939 and what would have been the outcome had he won the argument. There are Natzis who have set up a so called IS in the Middle East. THEY have started a war against the civilised world and THEY have been AND CONTINUE TO BE barbaric beyond all belief against anyone who utters a word against them. Men and especially women and children have suffered terribly at their hands, they continue that reign of violence and want to take that to all other parts of the world. IMO they need to be hunted down and have no hiding place, just as those people of our nation did to the Natzis in WW2. they want Armageddon and many many more men women and children across the world will suffer their cruelty if they and their fekin evil sponsors are not stopped.
10 Syrians are reported to have entered Thailand in the last few days. Reports are they are after Russian targets in 3 cities. These people can strike anywhere. This should have been stopped a long time ago.
Different times I know but found the Syrians to be a friendly set of people when I was out there near where we're bombing now in the late 80's?
Don't disagree with this at all. Benn does make his point eloquently tho, bombing civilian pockets where ISISA are entrenched has some horrible consequences.
