Not sure how true this is, but if it is true, it's nice to see another country stepping up beside the US.

LONDON: Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly sending 1,50,000 soldiers to Syria to wipe out the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

According to The Daily Star, he is apparently mounting an enormous military mission to take control of the terror group's stronghold of Raqqa.

Raqqa is the self-declared capital of ISIS which is patrolled by as many as 5,000 jihadi members.

Putin is set to mobilise 150,000 reservists whom he conscripted into the military earlier this week.

Probably because the Russia jet was taken down by a homemade bomb planted on board.

Putin: 'We remember everything'

Looks like Isis is committing suicide by going after all of these different countries. They can't possibly take on everyone and survive.

The only thing ISIS is accomplishing is to unite an otherwise improbable coalition.

That sounds probable

Putin is indeed a brave man for sending his troops into Syria to fight while Obama already said troops on ground is a mistake.

Obama should see his 150,000 and raise him 300,000. High stakes for sure.

We should get into a full fledged nuclear war over Syria and pride.

Some hygrophile suggested we nuke Syria; I read somewhere.

100 years ago today France & Russia were fighting on the same side. History repeats.

The western/Russian alliance was really one of necessity.

Glad we have leadership somewhere in the world

Glad ISIS is contained. Probably feeling pretty degraded right about now.

[GandD 5,966]

I'm glad we have leadership that wants to keep us out.

Another repeat of 100 years.

Basically, we will put ground troops in early 2018. Russia will have a revolution in about two years.
