American love two things democracy and oil
They tried to  introduce the no-fly zone over part of Syrian territory but failed, then tried to declare a part of the territory of Syria as territory conrolled by moderate opossition  , but the evil Russian do not believe in a moderate opposition and keep bmbing heir car bombs facility, now they will be put troops precisely where trying to  introduce the no-fly zone and to which argued that there is moderate oppositions,
and of course by chance it will oil refineries  :P
 Oh, and they alread asked the Russian keeping Russian forces in the distance of their soldiers

  There was never a no-fly zone in Syria. The Syrian government lost control of all of eastern Syria years ago, they don't operate there at all. It's nothing new that the US fights ISIS in their controlled areas to free hostages. Syrian rebels and the Kurds who are not loyal to Assad have been fighting ISIS in eastern Syria for a long time, it's a multi-factional civil war, even the Russian government admits this now. Russia is merely engaging the rebel factions who want to overthrow Assad, not the ISIS caliphate, satellite imagery proves this.

That video is bullshit.

First shot shows  single figure walking down the hill away from the flag, then he starts running all of a sudden.
Then it cuts to another scene... 2 guys standing on hill motionless, evening sky most likely later in the day and then the explosion happens.

 I can only imagine why. Russia can't even land cruise missiles in the right country, launched at Syria and landed in Iran  :lol:  There's already a coalition of 80 nations doing a job, Putin is like an annoying ex girlfriend who wasn't invited to the party, but shows up anyways, it's possible his Asperger's syndrome is acting up again.

You missed my point entirely. I'm not trying to imply the explosions were faked or CGI or planted on the ground.

Whats bullshit is the video's title and description claiming that an ISIS member gets bombed seconds after he plants the flag...

Heh. To be honest you are totally on to something here. Wierd case is that Russians love their armies weapons insanely. Like for a peaceful harmless country, as they claim to be, they do ideolize their armed forces and weapons like no other country on the planet. Just watched some random video of a Russian ship shooting missiles and it was filled with "russia great country, russia stronk comments". Half of the commenters were probably jizzing their pants over the Russian flag while watching that.

Those parades with all those missiles are good for the whole family to enjoy, and the bonus is that it probably scares the bejesus out of Lithuanian farmers.
