Russian-led forces succeed more in 14 days than years of U.S. “coalition” actions

“Things that have been done {within less than] 15 days by Assad’s Syria forces in cooperation with Russia exceed achievements of U.S.-led alliance in the last year,” Speaker Mohammad Jihad al-Laham said on Monday, according to Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency.  

Al-Laham also stated that “unlike the [United States], Russia’s position against terrorism has been clear and would have positive results for the region.” He also said Obama and his minions have repeatedly claimed they want to fight terrorists but it seems too big a challenge for them to undertake.

The Syria’s top lawmaker described President Barack Obama’s global policies as being treacherous and deceptive.  “Russia in its position of principles rehabilitated the norms of international law, which the US in its position was attempting to defame,” he added.

The Russian news media is also reporting that Orthodox Christian Church, which is reclaiming its traditional role in post-USSR Russia, has just described its government’s fight against the Islamic State and other jihadi groups in Syria as a “holy war.”

Russian Orthodox Catholic Patriarch Kirill told reporters: “Compare and contrast [Vladimir] Putin’s terse response with U.S. President [Barack] Obama, who denies the connection between Islamic teachings and violence; whose policies habitually empower Christian-persecuting Islamists; who prevents Christian representatives from testifying against their tormentors; and who even throws escaped Christian refugees back to the lions, while accepting tens of thousands of Muslim migrants.”
