Obama has further eroded US position by continuing in the footsteps of Bush, but he is just a degraded version of Bush.
If this bonhomie goes forward, we would see more developments on Ukrainian crisis too.
Degraded version of Bush Jr???
What can be more degraded than this stupid mammal???

You too are reading too much western newspapers to criticize him.

He was good at taking decisions and did not back off. First in Afghanistan and then Iraq. He made a mistake but he owned up to them and did what he could. Obama pays lip service to everything and is fake.

He was good on making extremely stupid decision and taking a face punches from his father for them.

I actually heard that US never struck on ISIS oil infrastructure. Good news. Dry up the money, dry up the barbarians.
As one man replied me:

Cadian, originally the we planned on keeping the oil infrastucture mostly in place so post war there’d be left to rebuild. I always thought that was a silly way of fighting a war. So yes there’s lots of untouched stuff to blow the crap out of. Might be bad guys there or not.

If your in a fist fight you don’t avoid punching a guy in the mouth because he might have an ugly bruise the next day, you beat the crap out of him until he stops and you beat the crap out of him a little more so he learns not to mess with you again–then you can be nice and carry his sorry ass to the hospital.

I guess this is silly too. If they haven't different plans.

According to strike videos, all the oil infrastructure objects bombed very gently, just to make it impossible to rebuild by ISIS but easily to rebuild by government forces.
Planes just destroyed not the entire facilities but their key parts only.
ISIS cannot renew them andcannot use objects without them, but Russian (or any friendly) companies can rebuild those objects with ease just after the war.

So ISIS does not have technicians. They hire people from Assad govt. to do engineering works.

It is a pretty bad situation for those engineers to be hired by Assad govt to work on ISIS oil fields.

@Cadian, @gadeshi, a slightly off topic question. I heard Putin's putting the PAK-DA on the backburner and prioritizing Tupolev-160 upgrade. Is that true?
Yes. There were intelligence mistake that underestimated US LRSB/NGB bomber programme.
There were strong oppinion that NGB will be a subsonic flying wing with extreme stealth, so there were desided to continue Tu-202 subsonic stealth FW project.
However, 2 months ago intelligence have discovered that NGB will be a supercruisable moderate stealth platform which caused Tu-202 PAK DA stop and another project (supercruisable platform) has been renewed.

2:05: Muhammad Ali, the Syrian commander, says there are terrorists from Pakistan, Caucasus, and the Midddle East.
The reporter is Timur Abdullayev.

They can have any number of tech guys, but they have no sources to get (legally or not) key production facility like rectification columns and towers, distillery cubes, filtration units and the other massive and technically complex units.
But after the war those facilities and units can be easily replaced by the oil constructon company.
