Putin Steps Up to Defend Freedom From ISIS
Russia is pounding the jihadists in Syria with bombs emblazoned with the words “For our People” and “For Paris” after Moscow vowed vengeance following the bombing of a plane over Sinai. Russian broadcasts have released a video in which a man is seen writing “For our People!” and “For Paris!” in black pen on aerial bombs mere minutes before a warplane is set to launch from the country’s airbase in Syria.
To ISIS: For Our People, And For Paris!
Pilots and service technicians of the airbase sent the message to ISIS by airmail, as confirmed by the Russian Defense Minister on social media. The Defense Ministry went on to say that Russian armed forces are carrying out the campaign as vengeance for the vicious attacks in Paris and the bombing of the Russian plane over the Sinai, which have since been claimed by ISIS.
Russia and France Join Forces
This campaign against ISIS is being carried out in collaboration with the French armed forces. Earlier this week, Russian Head of State Vladimir Putin promised to hound and “punish” the group behind the ISIS group that bombed a traveler jet over Sinai last month, killing all 224 people on board. Most of the people on board were primarily Russian tourists.
After the carnage in Paris which declared the lives of 130 people at the hands of ISIS, Putin and French Head of state Francois Hollande consented to ensure closer contact and control of their countries’ operations in Syria.
Both leaders will meet at the Kremlin next week.
