    Default Russian claims to eliminating 28, 000 ISIS forces.

    Russia killed 28,000 militants in Syria, third of all ISIS forces – Russian deputy security chief

    https://www.rt.com/news/344214-russi...sis-militants/
    Over one third. Big claim. Probably true.

    They weren't bothered about attacking the ones Turkey was supporting. Naughty NATO.

    very hard to say. That seems high. the Kurds are on the ground and Syrian regime is on the ground.

    But from what I saw the Russian airforce has been acting more to support Assad (which I have no problem with) then going directly after ISIS..

    It's just numbers..who knows

    I love the way you trust implicitly Putin's propaganda outlet.

    Are you saying "probably true" means you don't implicitly trust the news source?

    Right. He deals in fallacy and persistence. Hallmarks of the Tory arse.

    Well, it is Russia lol. Who knows if it's true or not. Hell, it sounds good so let's go with it. Kind of like southern bigotry maybe contributes to HIV. If it makes you feel good to believe it, what else matters?

    It's not in the US foreign policy manual to allow the Russians any praise or credibility. You should take five minutes a day to clock RT;

    You'll see lots of news that you don't like.

    Gerasimov said that for the past three months, Russia has been supplying the US with detailed information on the locations and movements of Daesh (ISIS, ISIL) and al-Qaeda in Syria (the Nusra Front), but that the US appears to have made no use of this information in its bombing raids at all. He blamed American refusal to cooperate for the ripostes that Daesh has been able to make against the campaign of the Syrian Arab Army to retake a military base in al-Raqqa province, a campaign that has failed.

    Somebody ain't pulling their weight.

    Somebody is bending over for the Turks.
