Russian cruise missiles hit ISIS from Mediterranean & Caspian; 600 killed in one strike
The Russian military has launched cruise missiles against Islamic State positions in Syria from both the Mediterranean and Caspian seas, one of which killed over 600 terrorists in the Deir Ex-Zor Province, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said.“On November 20, the warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. All targets were hit successfully,” he reported to President Vladimir Putin.
Overall, there are 10 warships taking part in the operation, six of which are in the Mediterranean.
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been suffering huge losses as a result of the Russian offensive, Shoigu said, adding that data on the ground shows that the flow of terrorists arriving in Syria has decreased, while more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.
Over the past four days, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types, the minister stated.
He added that a strike on a target in Deir ez-Zor utilizing multiple cruise missiles had killed more than 600 militants.
“We have a lot of evidence that Russian airstrikes are effective,” Syrian Brigadier General Ali Maihub told Interfax.
“Russian mass airstrikes did irreparable damage to international terrorist organizations in Syria, disrupted their administration and financing systems and destroyed their bases and depots,” he added.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov still maintains that Russia will not engage in a ground operation against the IS in Syria.
“There has been no discussion about a ground operation and there is still no discussion,” Peskov told reporters.

It's like I said the other day, the Russians don't fuck around when they are pissed off.
Now, Barack, pull your head out of your ass and start taking notes, then get on the horn to the Pentagon and tell them to cut loose on these bastards.
They can't terrorize anyone when they are dead.

Irish is right. The POS in OUR White House won't do more than token drone strikes lest he piss off his masters....
As is good ol' Johnny McShame. Or do you not remember of the picture of him hugging his ISIS buddies in Syria a few months ago? The Rove Republican swill may not be ragheads like the Muslim in Chief, but they sure are buddy-buddy with them. As evidenced by that maggot Ryan's recent pronouncement.
'murka will not attack ISIS. That would be tantamount to attacking Israel/Saudi Arabia (and itself), the actual backers of ISIS. I believe Mrs. Clinton - whom we should all support - will set things aright. She's going to declare a "no fly zone" over Syria (to protect ISIS), and that wimp Putin will back right down. Really. He will. Oh...he won't? Then we get either a high global radiation count, or 'murka backs down, and the Debtbuck Empire collapses
From what I can garner, Mr. Obama is a product of Saudi money and influence.
