Russian Federation Scrawls Messages on Cruise Missiles–Before Sending Bombs to Syria to

Iran wants to keep Assad in power but is also anxious to reassert its diplomatic credentials after long years in the wilderness.

Now that ISIS has claimed to be the reason for terror in Paris, Russian Federation and France have made a decision to take a stand against ISIS.

Yesterday Russian president Vladmir Putin confirmed it was an Islamic State bomb which brought down the doomed Russian passenger je t.

The United States has said that it does not coordinate targets with Russian Federation.

Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin in a briefing that cruise missile strikes against one target near the Islamic State-controlled city of Deir Ezzor had killed “more than 600 fighters”, but did not specify when the strike had taken place.

Russian Federation has also given the United States advance notice in the past week of actions involving cruise missiles and long-range bombers that crossed Iranian and Iraqi airspace into Syria, the official said.

It said dozens of oil tankers and other vehicles used for transporting crude had been destroyed.

Islamic State has also come under pressure as a U.S.-led coalition, accompanied by a few rebel groups on the ground, wages air strikes against it in eastern Syria.

They destroyed around 500 trucks over several days, the Defense Ministry said in a statement, without saying exactly when the attacks occurred.

“According to objective control data, the number of terrorists arriving in Syria is declining, and the flow of militants leaving areas of combat operation is growing in the northern and south-western directions”, the Russian Defense Minister said. By 4 p.m. Moscow time, the Russian air force had conducted 59 sorties and hit 149 Daesh targets.

“In their initial military incursion into Syria, they have been more focused on propping up President Assad”, Obama said.

Almost five years of fighting between the Assad government and rebels has created a vacuum that allowed the Islamic State to thrive in both Syria and Iraq. French President Francois Hollande is headed to Moscow next week to talk more strategy in the fight against ISIS.

What’s less clear is the impact the new offensive is having on the terrorist group’s ability to raise funds, which is largely a guessing game amid a civil war that has claimed a quarter-million lives and sparked Europe’s worst refugee crisis since World War II.

Last week’s Paris attacks added urgency to the work of USA diplomats. More information about the involvement of the USA will be released after France and the US meet.

He said the Islamic State “can’t beat us on the battlefield so they try to terrorize us into being afraid”. Islamic State is a terrorist enclave in the heart of the Middle East. Yet, the West’s response to this has been strikingly, and shockingly, lacklustre, I argue in the magazine this week.
