And what lesson would that be, a 200:1 body count in our favore?


There are plenty of Saudis as well as other Arab nationals that have been captured or killed in Chechnya. Last time i checked, you as in your brothers lost, Chechnya is rebuild and you guys can't fight.

Of what? Beheadings? suicide attacks? Attacking children? The large majority of casualties that Russia troops have suffered from have been hit and run ambushes, IED's, mines ect.

The first Chechen war was a disaster mostly because of poor planning and corruption. The second Chechen war was an easy victory. Georgia was simple curb stomped. Notice the pattern, the Russian military has real world battle field experience. They are improving and taking lessons. The equipment is improving, the tactics are improving, the generals are improving and the soldiers are improving.


You may post some propaganda videos but the reality is that Russia has proven that it can and will smash whatever it feels needs to be smashed.

Killing foreign national who is on official state visit is not good. FSA should try to convince Russia for their support to resolve issues.
Assad will go but by making Russia your enemy, FSA clearly shifting ti USA camp.
One can catch him and present over media, show truth to world. and then send him back to Russia or keep as POW.
Killing is never an option.

This scenario is for us, internet warriors. In real world now Russia has valid reason to label FSA as terrorist group. In civil war where entire world is watching you, political correctness is only way to win hearts.

This is a war with open sides, Russia will support Al-Assad till the end. FSA knows well that what ever they do will not mollify Russian stance on Al-Assad so better to kill the enemy in war zone than capturing.

Assad regime days are numbered.

I do not understand the Saudi problem though , they do not themselves have democracy in their country ... Why are you so desperate for Syria then ? ... Your role in supporting dictators in Tunisia and Bahrain is well known ... What makes you so happy that a Russian General if the news is true is killed in Syria ? This will just invite more Russian influence ... Assad's not going to go anytime soon ...

The cowardice of the KSA is unparallel in the world ! It remains the only country in the world that needed the complete and total assistance of NATO to defend itself against a country with moderate war capability and technology - Iraq in the Gulf War and they dare threaten Russia

Everyday,Syrian army is capturing and killing Saudi and Turkish generals,don't be happy for killing one Russian.
World media refer to captures of Syrian army as 'big prize'.Syria will use them soon.Just wait.
