“Russia was extremely reluctant to get involved in combat in Syria. The war began in 2011 when US began coordinating with terrorist groups. Al Qaeda has always been our proxy force on the ground. They together with ISIS have carried out the mission of the US” — Col. Richard Black
“After four years, Aleppo had enormous destruction. At that point, the Russians at the invitation of the legitimate Syrian government entered the war but not as a ground force. Their air power was very effective.” — Col. Richard Black
“The US war against Syria is a war of aggression. The US invaded. We put troops on the ground. It was a seizure. John Kerry was frustrated at the tremendous victory by the Syrian Armed Forces against Al Qaeda and ISIS.” — Col. Richard Black
“Syria had a significant wheat surplus before the war. We wanted to take the wheat away to cause famine. By stealing the oil we could freeze the civilian population. We wanted to starve and freeze to death the Syrians.” — Col. Richard Black
