From Vineyard of the Saker this morning, Russia dramatically increases her anti-Daesh operations:
Finally, Putin has declared that he has ordered the Russian naval task force to ‘cooperate’ with the French naval task force lead by the aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle. What better way to make sure that he French don’t “accidentally” strike the “wrong” targets than to fully “cooperate” with them?
Smart move!
I have to say I had a similar thought, as the Russians know how to play these games.
