We don't get political here at HCI, however... Filter your news sources. I wrote this in Budapest, Hungary today:
This has been an eye opening trip but not for the work that was accomplished... But for the current world events on going. Immigrants from Middle East, not all the countries are opening their doors, their wallets, and are asking other middle eastern countries to step in and do their part. However on BBC, DW, CNN it's not shown. Hungary has arrested more than a few undesirables at their border.
Regarding Syria and Russian military involvement: Russian tv is reporting 1800 member deployment and some aviation assets...zero combat troops no direct involvement with Assad and his troops. However they did say (the Russians) they are taking direct action against Isis/Isil. Putin was on 60 minutes with Charlie Rose and from what I see he has been allot more open to their intentions and mission than any of our allies were/are regarded by the current mission in Syria/Iraq against Isis/Isil.
China TV zero mention of any military involvement in Syria. Al Jezeria zero info regarding direct Iranian involvement in Syria or Iraq.
However that all said there is a huge difference between what the Russian Canal 1 is reporting and what three American networks are stating. This isn't the mid to late 1980's and it Russian troops start returning home in zinc boxes we will hear about it.
Don't buy into the hype...
