By David Singer, published 9/10/2015

America and its 62 nation coalition is becoming increasingly isolated and irrelevant as Russia maintains its airstrikes in Syria

Hi James

Truth be told Abbott's decision to fly Australian aircraft directly over Syria to bomb IS targets was unnecessary to the war effort. The decision was more about his last desperate attempts to stay in power by boosting his "I am a warrior in a scary War" political brand.

US intelligence has admitted in quiet forums that it has fewer targets for bombs in Syria. IS has learned to keep a lower profile out of bombs' way.

However Obama, rolling his eyes, could not publically say "no" to Abbott's warlike "help" over Syria.

And yes, Australia's bombing of targets in Syria is illegal in UN law and also other international laws.

Hi Peter. It is only in the Wizard of Oz that there were good witches and bad witches. To the Russians, to extend the metaphor, they are all just witches and they will kill the lot. I am not sure that the Americans ran out of targets because of "low profile" ISIS. I think the evidence is overwhelming that they had no intention of really going after them at all, any more than the Turks. Another questions for David: how did ISIS manage to transport $3 million of oil across the Turkish border every day, unmolested? One answer may be that the company selling oil on ISIS's behalf just happens to be run by Erdogan's son. A hospital in Turkey that treats wounded ISIS fighters is run by Erdogan's daughter.
Further questions: why has ISIS not attacked Israeli targets? Could it be because ISIS wounded are also being treated in Israeli military hospitals in the Golan Heights? I don't think David Singer would ever want to go there!

Aleksei Mikhailovich Chaly (Russian: born 13 June 1961) is a businessman and formerly de facto mayor of Sevastopol. He declared himself mayor in February 2014.
Putin accepted his legal invitation to move Crimea to the right.
Mr B Obama of Pine Gap submarine missile facility , Northern Territory, accepted Tony "Start the bombs" Abbott's invitation to invite Canberra to Iraqi Sunni in Syria. Malaysian Airlines have not been invited by Kurdish border shifters pending Ukraine fascist invitations to themselves.

Dear nicknamenick from Jindavik

Let me correct thee.

The Dad of Aleksei Mikhailovich Chaly (Russian: born 13 June 1961) was, in fact, Raputin B. Bear, Grand Rabbi of Moscow. His girlchild was one Vladimir "Poopsie" Putin.

Yes, the same!! Who after coming out as both Lesbian, Tranzsexual and Jewish is President for Life, Russia, 2600.

Boris "Hotlips" Obama, Commodore, Pine Gap submarine missile facility, is a Myth. It is an artesian boar naval base as any far left troty greeny nose.

Yours
