In reply to the discussion: Will air assault against IS in Syria be used to effect regime change? [View all]jamzrockz
(1,333 posts)12. If you have been watching
videos and news stories from insider in Syria, you will realize that the FSA is all but defeated. The main fighting forces for a while now are the ISIS and Al nusra. Any entity who would blame the already defeat of the FSA on a future attack by Russia is not a very serious party.
My posts have been getting a lot of alerts lately. So please if my posts offends you, just send me a PM and I will edit it. Please don't take 1 sentence of my post and alert it or mix in what I said in other threads to get me locked out of this thread. If you are going to alert, at least use the complete post that I made and give the jury the complete picture of what I am trying to say.
Thank you very much

But there's an "army of Putin trolls" who've swooped down on us from the Kremlin.

We can stop all of this by arming working with Assad, Iran, Israel, SA, Turkey, et al., to help THEM

I have to agree. It seems to me ISIS may be the perfect thing to bring these disparate entities

the pretext would probably not be the air strikes but the presence of ISIS itself

All your links reference Syrian airstrikes on ISIS - oddly - in western Iraq, not in Syria.
