We are being told they are there to guard their bases and it is just a security measure! Right!!! I guess Putin thinks we are that ignorant of his desire to rule the world!

Finally Russia starts stepping up to the plate. I was wondering how long the rest of the world would sit by while the US bankrolled terrorists to run wild causing chaos and destruction in order to maintain control of others resources and provide justification for unending military buildup.
If my country was being attacked by terrorists (funded and trained by the USA)
then I guarantee you I would beg Putin to send his forces in to save my nation.
Do you not see the blatant havoc and devastation the US sponsored terrorists are causing to the people of the Arab world?
