King of the North - Doomed Damascus - War

My Way News - Russia shows military might in Syria, also pushes diplomacy
My Way News reports: "The U.S. and other Western powers have questioned Russia's primary motive in the airstrikes that began Sept. 30 and have backed up a Syrian government offensive in central and northwestern regions. Moscow says it is fighting IS and other extremist groups like the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front, but Washington and others say the intervention is to prop up Assad and is likely to fan the violence. The intervention is also allowing Russia to portray itself as a major global player, projecting its military power far from its borders."
