I'd say that it amounts to a war crime. I trust they remembered to include a few thousand ka-bars in the airdrop.
You guys should also be concerned because those weapons will get used against your troops one day when they get sent back into that area to try and contain those particular terrorists and their successors. Today the Syrians will pay the price but there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth when this act of madness comes home to roost.

Russia is there to kill sunni's, muslim brotherhood , isis ect. They are doing the right thing, the United States is supporting the wrong muslim tribe.
I'd be sending Russia all the intel I could in regards to sunni muslim locations.

I didn't bother reading the article as I see the "articles" every day.
The Syrian Coalition:
Russia
China
Iran, IRGC-QF and MOIS (in Syria and Iraq)
Hezballah (in Syria and parts of Iraq)
And soon North Korea.
This administration has its head so far up its "gotta build a legacy before the term is up" ass it has partnered up with designated terrorist organizations to defeat the ISBS.

How long will it be before resource rich nations choose to reduce the U.S. footprint and increase the new "coalition" footprint and change the balance of power of the planet when it comes to economic trade, sanctions, tariffs and resource allocation, rites and control. States have no power without resources, states have no ability to build weapons and sustain it's military without the strategic partnerships critical to its existence. A country must produce to have trade value we have little as we are a country of consumers our production is done through surrogates in these countries we are partnered with.
Russia and China both lack the economics to exploit and capitalize what they have in spades. Neither one can field the military they have the way we can, neither one has the ability to put naval fleets to strategically cruise the seas like we can or develop the technology on our level there is little economic incentive to keep the greatest scientist in their own countries when the U.S. is ready and willing to protect and reward it. Russia has flexed it's resource power when it told Merkel that sanctions against them will result in no natural gas to the EU.
These guys do what our administration lacks the will to do, our position will weaken severely and watch us brought to our knees and forced to capitulate against OUR best interests.

How difficult was that?

Well we now know, the governments of Russia and the United States have be reading Professionalsoldiers.com. But, in an effort not to give the credit for world peace to me.... they changed my plan to a "day night" schedule.

Russians strike ISIS during the day, US and France strike at night
By Lucas Tomlinson
·Published November 18, 2015
·FoxNews.com
Long-range Russian supersonic bombers carried out more daylight strikes against the Islamic State in Syria early Wednesday according to a senior defense official briefed on the latest intelligence from the region.
Russia’s use of large bombers marks the first time this type of aircraft has flown against ISIS. Since Russian airstrikes began in Syria on Sept. 30, the Russians have preferred to strike during the daytime, while the U.S. military and French launch their strikes under the cover of darkness at night.
“This is one of the reasons, why de-confliction is not really needed at this time,” said a U.S. official monitoring the Russian strikes. “The Russians are bombing during the daytime, the [U.S.-led coalition] is bombing at night.”
The large supersonic Russian bombers, which included Tu-22M Backfire and Tu-160 Blackjack bombers, flew from airbases bases in Mozdok and Engels, Russia. Older Tu-95 Bear bombers also flew out of Engels.
The Russian bombers which flew from Engels launched cruise missiles against the Islamic State from a position over Iran, according to a U.S. official.
Mozdok is located in southern Russian near Georgia and Azerbaijan. Engels, named after the co-founder of Marxist theory, German philosopher Friedrich Engels, is located north of the Caspian Sea, 115 miles from neighboring Kazakhstan.
Each Backfire bomber is capable of dropping nearly 70 unguided 500-pound bombs at a time. A bomb damage assessment is currently underway, but at this time it is unclear if the Russian strikes have been successful in killing large numbers of ISIS fighters.
Throughout their air campaign, the Russians have been bombing ISIS using un-guided “dumb” bombs, which require daylight hours to have any chance of successfully hitting a target, according to a U.S. military pilot.
Many senior military and administration officials have said the fight against the Islamic State could take years. Over the summer, the Army’s outgoing top general said defeating ISIS would take 10-20 years.
Not so, according to retired Air Force General David Deptula, who was responsible for directing the air war over Afghanistan in 2001 and led efforts to enforce Iraq’s “no-fly zones” in the 1990s.
“You keep on hearing people including the president saying, 'This is going to take a long time.' It's only going to take a long time if you want it to take a long time. We have it within our capacity to shut down the effectiveness of the Islamic State in a very short period of time--in a matter of weeks and not years,” said Deptula.
Before the Paris attacks, President Obama called ISIS largely contained. His former Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta, seems to disagree.
“It isn’t about containment. It is about defeating ISIS. I think if there’s anything we ought to understand from these last events, it’s that we have to go to war against this brutal enemy,” said Panetta in an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto Tuesday.
Panetta later echoed French President Francois Hollande calling the Paris attacks “acts of war."
Russian president Vladimir Putin spoke by phone Wednesday with Egyptian President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi and agreed to improve airline security between the two countries, according to a statement from the Kremlin, in a sign of growing cooperation against terrorism between the two countries following the downing of a Russian airliner in Egypt’s Sinai killing all 224 people onboard.
Russia’s FSB security service said it was certain a bomb took down the plane. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.
