Its cool.. Our next president will probably sell us out to Russia for favorable business deals when he is out of office.

In Russia that doesn't happen, and if it does it get shut down by force.

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.


They're building an alliance with Assad to further their influence in the ME. They already have a strong alliance with Iran so this would give them allies on both sides of the US's baby - Iraq.

Where's the sergeant major? You can't be a real soldier with your sleeves rolled up like that.

There are militias like Hezbollah that are friendly but the Syrian Army hasn't been operational in some time.

It says something when US civilians were putting m4 stocks on AKs over a decade ago and now have even better stocks to choose from while the Russians are still a decade behind.
