    Default Re: Syria

    "he had promised to destroy ISIS and withrdew in half a year." You can repeat it as much as you want. In the text you link he didn't. Period. There is no mention of 6 months, there is a mention of destruction of ISIS as long term goal. Again, Putin's speech: "First, we will support the Syrian army only in its lawful fight against terrorist groups. Second, our support will be limited to airstrikes and will not involve ground operations. Third, our support will have a limited timeframe and will continue only while the Syrian army conducts its anti-terrorist offensive"
    And you translated in "He had promised to destroy ISIS and withdrew in half a year". Well done...

    "All this was meant to say that Putin hasn't reached the goals he had claimed to set which amounts to an ostensible failure. The conclusion from the hypothetical experts that you denied.". So ISIS is on the run at Palmyra but it is Putin's failure. Well, few failures like this and hopefully ISIS will finish in the bin of History... And again, Putin did not set up goals, not in the text you linked, only in your fertile imagination...
    You failed again to back-up your claim in "He had promised to destroy ISIS and withdrew in half a year". I know you are a great believer in truth by repetition, even against all evidences...

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
