Did you catch 60 minutes--US armed forces bombing ISIS and territory

Seriously? You have blinders on.

For starters - we have 100x the reach they do. 100x the reach = 1000's of targets (many times more soft targets)

They're in a perpetual state of terror with neighbors like Chechnya. They only report SOME of the incidents now (Nord-Ost siege wasn't a 1 time thing...170 people dead in a movie theater) - since it was deemed detrimental to the state and media outlets have to check first - we only hear about some of them.

Ironic because when Bush or Obama went the executive order route because congress was dragging it's ass, people scream "Dictator!". Yet when they see the actions of an actual dictator, many of the same people wax glowingly how he's able to kick ass or get things done.

Russia's economy is on the verge of collapse. It's so bad people in large numbers wish for the old brutal days of the Soviet Union.

They have nukes. That's all that keeps them at the table.

Yes, exactly. Some of these same people who call themselves "American patriots" are cheering on foreign dictators who may have been involved in the deaths of their own people with a bullet to the back of the head. Often anybody who they deem is embarrassing the black guy in the WH becomes a hero.

Americans really really need to look at alternative news services. What countries like the US and mine, Australia are reporting about the war is complete propaganda and different to reality.

Why is Putin's approval rating 90% now? Why are Syrians happy to have Russia there, helping fight isis? Weren't the Americans and NATO supposed to do that? Haven't they been trying to fight extremists there for over 12 months now?

Exactly, the American gov are the terrorists.
