    Default Russia joins France striking ISIS stronghold in Syria - Obama says ISIS contained

    Russian military might joined French warplanes Tuesday as the two nations struck back at the Islamic State four days after terror teams carried out coordinated attacks in Paris, leaving 129 people dead.


    10 French fighter jets carried out new airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria, according to French defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.


    Also, twelve Russian long-range bombers including supersonic Tu-22M “Backfires” flew from a base in Mozdok, Russia near the border of Georgia and Azerbaijan and launched cruise missiles inside Raqqa, a U.S. official with knowledge of the mission told Fox News.


    The supersonic bombers flew over the Caspian Sea, Iran, Iraq and into Syria before unleashing a volley of cruise missiles into Raqqa. The U.S. military is still assessing the damage.


    Cruise missiles were also fired Monday from the Caspian Sea from Russian Navy missile boats, some of the same vessels which launched a similar salvo into Syria last month.
    Russia's defense minister also said its warplanes fired cruise missiles on militant positions in Syria's Idlib and Aleppo provinces. Sergei Shoigu told reporters the missiles were fired from Tu-160 and Tu-95 warplanes. The Islamic State has positions in Aleppo province, whereas Idlib has the presence of the Nusra militant group.


    Meantime, President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian missile cruiser Moskva, currently in the Mediterranean, to start cooperating with the French military on operations in Syria. Putin said a French aircraft carrier task force is to approach the Moskva soon and the cruiser is to "cooperate with them as with allies."


    Also Tuesday, France invoked a never-before-used article of the EU's Lisbon Treaty obliging members of the 28-nation bloc to give "aid and assistance by all the means in their power" to a member country that is "the victim of armed aggression on its territory." French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said EU partners could help "either by taking part in France's operations in Syria or Iraq, or by easing the load or providing support for France in other operations."

    Interesting how they could use firearms to fight the USSR's mighty armed forces.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Are "firearms" all they used?

    Putin 'sending 150,000 soldiers to Syria to WIPE OUT evil Islamic State'
    VLADIMIR Putin is preparing to send 150,000 troops to Syria in a bid to wipe out the evil Islamic State once and for all as he hints at joining the West following the Paris attacks.
    By Scott Campbell
    PUBLISHED: 03:43, Wed, Nov 18, 2015 | UPDATED: 08:45, Wed, Nov 18, 2015



    The Russian leader is reportedly mounting an enormous military mission to take control of the terror group's stronghold of Raqqa.

    The city is the self-declared capital of ISIS in Syria and is patrolled by as many as 5,000 jihadi members.

    Putin is set to mobilize 150,000 reservists who he conscripted into the military in September.

    Yesterday, following the Paris attacks, Putin hinted he was ready to join forces with the West to tackle Islamic State.

    He told David Cameron: "The recent tragic events in France show that we should join efforts in preventing terror."

    We gave the mujaheddin Stingers. Do you have some to take down the black helicopters, in case Obama unleashes the UN OWG forces on Colorado?
