1. Assad does not have the manpower to hold territory
C   (12.11.16)
russia is reportedly sending chechen special forces to supplement
assad's forces, hezbollah and other shiate proxies.

ironically, the islamic state does not have the manpower to hold territory,
either.
the difference between these two genocidal human rights abusers is that
while as president of syria, assad needs to hold territory, the islamic
state can continue an insurgency of terror, regardless of consequences.

it is concerning that trump might side with russia and its shia terror allies.
iran, with its unbridled thirst for terror and nuclear weapons. must
be weakened as much as possible.
the islamic state might be the more immediate threat, but iran, an established, well armed state, with a nuclear weapons program,
is by far the greatest threat.
2. the Bear
johnMatthew ,   fayetteville   (12.11.16)
In Genesis, God explains that Isaac will be the keeper of the gates of his enemies, who are the enemies ? All nations will be Israel's enemies, even Russia or the Bear, its important to realize Russia is an enemy of Israel and left uncheck will move to advance its position for strike, and that is what we are seeing today, sooner or later Russia will have the best strategic positions to strike. They will and are pulling every nation into World War III, but who ignites the war not Russia, Germany will ignite the war fulfilling the Three Headed leopard as described in the Bible, each head represents a rise and fall, the third head is yet to come, we will see germany, the most powerful nation in the EU ignite the war with Russia. We are already seeing that today as Germany is destoying its own nation from within with flooding Syrian refugees, sooner or later it will involve Russia and the war starts.
3. Let me guess
Rami ,   Helsinki   (12.11.16)
Assad suffering man shortages and overstreaching his lines is a fault of a zionist conspiracy, I bet that will be the explanation. I mean always blaming somebody else. Millions of Syrians don't want to fight for a dictator who sold their country to Iran. Hezbollah and other shia militias are weak cowards while ISIS is full of former military professionals from SAA and Iraqi army. Not to overstreach your lines is something every despot should have learned from Hitler.
4. PUTIN IS JUST FLAT OUT CRAZY
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (12.12.16)
Iran, Lebanon, Russia, Chinese money and guns, and these guys still can't defeat the former Iraqi Army. What is the trying to acheive? The Syrians are not going to live under ASSAD anyway. The idiot mullhas have actully created a buffer zone for Israel. The only way to stop this is to stop Iranian econmy that fules this war along with Saudis. The only reason these guys are fighting is the fact that they hav oil money.
