They should just pull the troops out and drop a nuke. Not only will that get any stragglers, but will also exterminate any others thinking that joining these isis slobs is a good idea

I hope it is true but it will be disastrous for the USA if true.
Russia comes in and sorts out ISIS in three days? I really doubt it but If true.
As a US soldier I don't really care if I do it or if my Russian counterparts do it.
ISIS needs to be wiped from the face of the Earth. No mercy, no trials, just dead.
People like them deserve nothing less than extinction.
As a US soldier you are clearly missing the point there.
This news means that US of A never had the intention of wiping out ISIS.

Didn't he say he was not sending soldiers? Anyone want to bet any soldiers sent attack rebel groups and barely touch ISIS?

Please explain the point to me, WHY you would send in an army to save your ally and NOT take out ISIS? It defies all reason. What would be the tactical advantage keeping ISIS around?
Because ISIS is not near government controlled areas
So Russia will take out all the Syrians who are fighting for freedom
and then after that will help with ISIS. Their initial targets will all be rebels though, just like with the airstrikes.
Meaning this is not about ISIS, it's about keeping Assad in power and killing his opposition.

You're right and wrong. It's about protecting the legitimate government. ISIS is just one of those enemies

ISIS is an ideology, a religion, a philosophy, a system of principals and nothing can wipe that out.
Killing most of the adherents is just a short time solution. The Crusades will never end....In Hoc Signo Vinces....
Nazism " is an ideology, a religion, a philosophy, a system of principals and nothing can wipe that out."
Do you think Nazism and the White power ideology was wiped out? In Europe or the US?
Stormbringer....interesting name.
