Via RT -- Russian propaganda meant to back up Trump announcing the US will pull out of Syria:

Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) in Syria has been completely defeated, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. However, it retains its destructive potential and can attack in different regions across the globe, he added.

“Despite its military defeat, this terrorist group [IS] retains its significant destructive potential, it can change its tactics and launch attacks in different countries and regions in the world,” President Putin said in a statement addressed to members of the Moscow Conference on International Security.

Other extremist groups also present a big threat to the world, according to the Russian leader.

Putin stressed that it is now necessary to think about new forms of “multilateral cooperation.” It would allow the parties “to consolidate the success” achieved in the fight against terrorism and “to prevent the further spread of this threat.”

1. And Syria is almost unliveable, but now securely in the arms of Russia.

4. Russia has a naval base on Syria's coast and wants stability in Syria.

They don't care who rules Syria. They want their base to be secure. So they throw their hat in with Assad, no matter how many innocent people he kills. Trumpy can go suck if he objects. And since Trumpy's M.O. with Putin is to suck and suck more, he's an easy mark for Vlad, so Vlad tells Trumpy to jump, and tells him how high he wants Trumpy to jump. And Trumpy does what he's told.

2. Has it occurred to anyone else that Trump may have been instructed to

pull American troops out of Syria by Putin, in their recent phone call, which Trump took in his private quarters ?

3. Hmm. I wonder why Russia doesn't experience a threat from Islamic terrorism.

Have we ever heard of terrorist attacks inside Russia's borders?

Why would ISIS NOT consider Russia to be a target of terrorist attacks?

Does ISIS or any Islamic terrorist organization BENEFIT from Russia's largesse?

Just wondering...

7. There is no Syria left.

The people are gone. The buildings are gone.

Just desert now. All that is left is wind and sand.
