Putin Sends 150,000 Ground Troops To Rid Our World Of ISIS Forever According to recent reports, Vladimir Putin is gearing up to send approximately 150,000 troops to Syria in attempt to wipe out the Islamic State once and for all. The Russian leader is taking action following the Paris attacks, and is now on a military mission to take control of Raqqa, the city that has been declared the capital of ISIS in Syria. The recent tragic events in France show that we should join efforts in preventing terror, Putin told David Cameron. This is fast becoming a race to Raqqa, one insider commented. To secure the oil fields they need to cleanse the region of insurgents, and the IS capital is vital to do that. Russian jets have previously taken out nine ISIS outposts, and have blown up several terrorist targets as well as a command center. We will not only continue strikes, Andrei Kartapolov from Russia claimed. We will also increase their intensity. This comes at a time when experts are starting to believe that ISIS has vastly exaggerated their military strength. What do you think? Do you support Russia taking action?
