Russia has entered Syria with their guns blazing and their missiles locked on their targets. Their military assault has been so furious that Putin’s boys have scared the beards off of ISIS terrorists.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said that his nation’s attack jets hit 51 Islamic State targets in Syria in a 24-hour blitzkrieg. Obliterating four command posts, six arms depots, a mortar battery, two underground bunkers, 32 field camps and six outposts.
However there are other reports that Russia is bombing everything. That includes rebel factions, non-militants, women, children and the elderly.
Russia is in Syria to show military force in the area and support their ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. This means crushing ISIS as well as the Syrian Rebels who started the uprising to dethrone Bashar in January of 2011.
The Syrian Civil War started when protesters called for political reforms and the reinstatement of civil rights. The Free Syrian Army was inspired by other movements during the Arab Spring, and has been fighting “to bring down the system.”
ISIS and the Free Syrian Army have taken power away from Bashar and Russia is dead-set to eliminate all of Bashar’s opposition.
To Russia’s credit, the bombardment that started on September 30, 2015, seems to have made a lasting impression on ISIS. There are reports that some Islamic State terrorists have been so shaken by the bombings that they are fleeing the war-torn country in a rather peculiar fashion.
There are reports that ISIS fighters are shaving their beards so that they don’t look like Islamic extremists and fleeing the country.
Let's shave…

The photos are said to have been taken last week near Syria’s largest city, Aleppo. The images were popularized by Sunday Times journalist Hala Jaber, who credited Leith Abou Fadel, editor-in-Chief of the English-language Arabic news website Al-Masdar News, as the source.

There are mounds of freshly cut facial hair, alongside discarded packets of razors. It’s a shame, only weeks before Movember when they could have raised awareness for ball cancer.
There are also reports that ISIS terrorists were dressing in women’s clothes so that they could easily enter into Turkey undetected. The jihadists get a nice clean shave and then dress in niqabs, a veil that some Muslim women wear to hide all of their face except the eyes. Hopefully someone treats them as harshly as they tortured the Yazidi women.
