Telegraph: Reports " Russia and Iran-backed offensive helps regime break Isil's two-year siege on Syrian airbase..Regime troops reached the Kweiris airbase, state television says, where almost 1,000 soldiers were trapped "
Lets Get Real:
The Russian action is showing success on the ground, but how far will Russia go, the Assad regime now has the ground support from Iran and Iraq, while the Russians do the bombing, but will Moscow dare place Russians on the ground, after the failure in Afghanistan by the USSR and the long war in Iraq by the US the Kremlin should be careful, the Russian people have seen what happens when the Russia places troops outside its orbit, one can argue that the Crimea and East Ukraine is seen as part of Greater Russia, while Syria is more like Afghanistan, groups that have hated each other for centuries and will fight no matter who is on their side, while Syria is important to Russia, its not like the above, so how long will Russians bomb, how long before they need to send in ground troops, these questions should be on the mind of Moscow.
