And here come the Iranian troops to support Assad's troops and Russians....

Iran troops to join Syria war, Russia bombs group trained by CIA | Reuters

Quote from article...."Two Lebanese sources told Reuters hundreds of Iranian troops had reached Syria in the past 10 days with weapons to mount a major ground offensive. They would also be backed by Assad's Lebanese Hezbollah allies and by Shi'ite militia fighters from Iraq, while the Russians would provide air support.
"The vanguard of Iranian ground forces began arriving in Syria: soldiers and officers specifically to participate in this battle. They are not advisers ... we mean hundreds with equipment and weapons. They will be followed by more," one of the sources said. [end quote]

Oh what a tangled web they weave!

I am certain that Israel will become involved very soon. Israel still has troops on the Golan Heights taken from Syria during the six day war.

Report from The Daily Mail Newspaper 2 October says Russia is to call up nearly 150,000 conscripts during the next few months.
One of Putins spokesmen said It has nothing to do with Syria but is a regular signing up by Putin that happens twice a year.

Yes of course it is!!

FWIW..Chinese warplanes to join Russian air strikes in Syria. Russia gains Iraqi air base

Baghdad and Moscow have just concluded a deal for the Russian air force to start using the Al Taqaddum Air Base at Habbaniyah, 74 km west of Baghdad, both as a way station for the Russian air corridor to Syria and as a launching-pad for bombing missions against ISIS forces and infrastructure in northern Iraq and northern Syria. Russia has thus gained a military enclave in Iraq, just as it has in Syria, where it has taken over a base outside Latakia on the western coast of Syria.

This also shows the double standard and hypocrisy the US is portraying when saying Russia is only inflaming the issue in Syria by not only striking ISIS positions. Here is news this morning of US airstrikes hitting a hospital in Afghanistan....

Nine dead at Afghan hospital after U.S. air strike | Reuters

We know this is not the first time the US has killed civilians in these long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. If we knew the actual numbers of "collateral" damage in civilians lives in these wars we would probably be shocked. But that information is usually suppressed and even distorted because the powers that be control most of the media as well.

And again, here is another example of a double standard of not picking and choosing the right targets. Which by the way did not bring nearly as much condemnation from Obama and the US military as did Russia has for hitting so called "terrorists. US backed Saudi's hit a wedding party in Yemen, 80 women are killed plus children, 131 killed total.....

Yemen officials: 131 killed in Saudi-led airstrikes that hit wedding party - Chicago Tribune

So why all the condemnation against Russian involvement and targets selected in Syria? Because the US' main agenda in Syria, and even in many other countries since WW2 is to take down and set up puppet leaders and governments to gain more control, power, and money. And all of it is done in the name of "peace keeping", and under the cloak of fighting evil, drugs, or terrorists, or whatever other enemy they can use as a distraction. There always has to be an "enemy" to fight in order to gain support from it's citizens and money from it's tax payers, to give them more power, money, influence, and control over the world.

Russia is just another "player" in the same cloak and dagger game of so called "nation building" and "peace keeping" which suits their own secret and hidden agenda. The way I see it, there are no good guys in this scenario because everyone of them have blood on their hands in trying to promote each their own evil and hidden agenda. Their motives are not done in righteousness, but motivated more by military sales, greedy gain through blood being shed, power, influence and control over all the worlds affairs.

They are all just doing the lusts of their father the Devil.

That may be.

But unfortunately, Russia is still on the other team.

Well, as long as you live in THIS WORLD, and in THIS COUNTRY, you are still affected, daily, by what this country's government does.

Furthermore, God has PLACED YOU in this country, and has ORDAINED for YOU to have to BE HERE, and thereby has ordained for you to have to deal with whatever is going on here.

Doesn't matter if you like it or dislike it, or admit it or deny it...
you're still here.

Update......Russia starts air strikes in Syria but US not too happy with targets.

Russia starts air strikes in Syria, tells U.S. to steer clear

Seems the US has a double standard when fighting "terrorists", they allow Turkey to bomb the Kurds who do fight ISIS, but they criticize Russia for bombing militants who Russia says is ISIS. LOL! There seems to be a conflict of interests going on behind this cloak of fighting "terrorists" in Syria and surrounding areas. But the conflict does seem to be drawing in all the major "players" from around the globe for perhaps something much bigger?
Russia hasn't denied bombing rebels as far as I know. Of course they are. The only reason they are there is to support Assad. Isis and the rebels both want Assad out and want to put themselves in power so its no surprise. The U.S. Media has been grasping at straws trying to paint Russia as ISIS supporters and saying they haven't even bombed ISIS and are only targeting rebels. Which is laughable because Russia is only there to support Assad (who ISIS wants to overthrow) and did an intense bombing campaign of Raqqa (which was an ISIS stronghold) and bombing all over the Homs province. Rebel and Isis held areas are both targets.

The U.S. just hates the fact that Russia is also bombing the jihadist rebel factions that they armed and trained. No one of any importance is believing the propaganda either so they are basically rendered completely powerless for the first time in recent memory.

*The most powerful military force has been fighting in Syria for forever and a day, no progress.*

*Russia joins the fight and begins to dismantle ISIS in a matter of days*

You've just bought into the lies and propaganda being fed to you by those who are of the world, and are of the Devil. Again this shows that the US also does the lusts of their father the Devil. Keep in mind Jesus said he was a liar and a murderer. This video report of the recent US bombing of a doctors without borders hospital proves the US government is doing both, lying in order to cover up the murder of civilians.

I've been reading reports that due to the onslaught, jihadist rats are starting to leave Syria in droves with their merc money and lining up at barber shops on the Turkish side of the border to get their beards shaved off so they can blend in with the other refugees fleeing to Europe.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Once in Europe, it's easy to hook up with other jihadis and plan attacks there, or move on the the U.S. and Canada.
