The number of Russian special ops troops in Syria is likely in the "low hundreds," but they are the eyes and ears on the ground to carry out precision airstrikes, and have been used to directly target rebel leaders, according to experts who spoke with the Wall Street Journal.

There are also anywhere from 100 to 300 US special operations forces operating in Syria and Iraq, though they are focused on advising Iraqi army forces in Mosul, and targeting ISIS leadership. According to the Journal, Russian military chief Gen. Nikolai Makarov visited the headquarters of US Special Operations Command in 2012 for a meeting, intent on learning how Russia could build a special operations force similar to the United States'. Makarov previously signed a framework of understanding with then-Navy Adm. Mike Mullen in 2009 that offered military-to-military exchanges and operational events, orientation at the West Point military academy for Russian cadets, and sharing of ideas among both countries' combined arms academies.

Nothing to see here, folks. They are our friends! They certainly don't wish for the demise of the US each and every day.

OCPs are used by our military and the brits
anyway taking Crimea wasn't something amazing pulling guns on civilians and Aleppo is bombed to shite. Who cares, when it comes to really operating like in Chechnya they have their hands full.

For Russia. Natural resources? Trade hub? What would be the end game for Russia wanting to seize Aleppo?

There is none, maybe get their guys some experience where they wouldn't get their arse handed to them, like in Eastern Ukraine. shite ISIS or the rebels would keep their hands full.

But Crimea made sense, strategically. Close to the Russian borders. Large population identified with the people of Russia. Has several large natural gas oil fields. Port city. It made sense.
Allepo doesn't make any sense for Russia to invade and take over, especially if it's in cahoots with the Syrian regime. Which leads me to believe, that this headline is mere sensationalism, and doesn't pass the smell test.
