What are the chances of Russia getting really serious with getting rid of IS?

I think the west would be happy to stand back and let them get on with it. We could then analyse the effectiveness of their weapon systems, let them spend a few bob dropping ordnance, laugh at their being beaten by a few lads wearing tea towels on their heads, and see terrorism directed towards Russia and away from the west........

Agree it is an irredeemable situation, but like all situations driven by ego and greed it is never clearly thought out, but that doesn't stop them repeating the same mistakes by the same means time and time again.

The follow a Hollywood mentality.

Indeed, which is why it should be incumbent on us to make sure that we don't elect idiots again.

I don't hold out much hope for the US - when Trump is by a distance the least bad in foreign policy terms of the Republican candidates, and Hilary was about 10% of the Secretary of State that Kerry has been - but there are some signs of optimism here at least, given that further involvement in Syria opposed because people recognize it for what it is (ie: bombing Assad), that the idea that we would bomb Iran (which is what Blair was arguing for a few years ago) has been almost eradicated, and that the one EU leader to emerge with credit from the refugee crisis is Cameron (given that the Germans have rowed backwards even more yesterday, giving their non-refugees a years' grace now).

Obviously the Blairite idiots will wreck things by getting rid of Corbyn, though.

I'm hoping that they can do serious damage and that if it could be established that IS were responsible for the plane 'crash', it
would trigger it. Pun unintended.
I don't know if IS are into suicide bombing, but that is a possibility if they are. I don't know why they'd want or need to, but they
have claimed responsibility, haven't they?

It is mad though. when you look at some athletes who were able to go from also-ran's to podium climbers late in their careers.
