Fact #1 Putin did not start the problems in Syria. The USA caused it through deposing Gadaffi in Libya which allowed the people who becamse ISIS to gain a place to train and plan.
Fact #2 Putin was strongly opposed to intervention of any kind in Syria from the start
Fact #3 Russia only entered the conflict after Assad asked them for help
Fact #4 Putin has presented a peace plan for post war Syria to the UN several times. The UN keeps rejecting it because it does not exclude the possibility of Assad remaining in power.
This is not a repeat of the USA's tricks in Iraq. Iraq has even asked Russia for help over the USA too in this situation. The people on the ground seem to disagree with you,

Like all the satellite photos showing convoys of Russians moving into Ukraine ??
The non appearance of things only exonerates when people think it should.
#RussianPropaganda NOT A SINGLE "oil tanker" among "convoy of oil tankers" in MoD video. www.youtube.com... …
And of course - as black is white in #RussianPropaganda - all these trucks LEAVE #Turkey & are not "entering" it.

I'm amazed that some people here would work with ISIS to feed their family!
Even if your not the one doing the killings you would have blood on your hands from the dirty money
There are plenty of ways to support your family aiding a group like this should never be an option

No.
The Russians did show those photos of oil trucks going into Turkey,
southfront.org...
The MSM ignored it in order not to expose Turkey and Obama's support of ISIS
MOSCOW, December 4 /TASS/. Russian warplanes have destroyed 12 fuel pump stations, 8 oil fields and oil and gas facilities; as well as more than 170 extremist-owned tanker trucks in a week, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said on Friday.
"Twelve fuel pump stations, 8 oil fields and oil and gas facilities as well as more than 170 tanker trucks have been destroyed (in Syria) over the past week," Konashenkov said.
I find this somewhat disturbing....people who suicide bomb others so that their families can get paid are no different to those driving the trucks.
This brings up the other 800 pound gorilla the Russians are ignoring: how do we know that the oil in the trucks was pumped by Daesh?

In the same way everyone was "very sure" that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Except here you can argue about who owns those trucks coming from Syria, do they belong to Syria? if so do you think the owners would stay quiet about losing them under Russian bombs? why is everyone denying ownership of those trucks? who owns them indeed.
