Russia flies 2,000 mercenary troops into Syria
Well here we go again a foreign state bringing in mercenaries troops into Syria to do the dirty work! A total of 5000 now in Syria under The Russian authority! It's getting to be a major conflict area!
I doubt Putin is going to work with US troops on this cease fire arena situation for long!

The placement of Russian Muslim forces or hired mercenaries on Israel?s northern border - in the guise of ceasefire monitors - poses a serious problem for Jerusalem. Russia?s record for keeping its promises and commitments on its military moves in Syria is far from good. The US has confirmed that Russia gave Israel a commitment that Iranian and pro-Iranian forces, including Hizballah, would not be allowed to approach the Syrian-Israeli border. But Israel can?t be certain how the Ingushets or the mercenaries will react if confronted with such troops. Will they resort to arms to evict them or let them stay.

Debkafile?s military sources report that some 800 Russian troops face Israel and another 400 are positioned on the border with Jordan. They have set up a roI want fees to go up east of Quneitra 8km from Israeli positions on the Golan. They have also strung an additional four to six lookout posts, some of them 13km from Israeli military positions, along the 64km Syrian-Israeli border - from Mount Hermon in the north, up to a point south of Qunetra in the south.
Most of the Russian troops were recruited in Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia, republics known for their Muslim extremist activity.
Israel has repeatedly objected to the proximity of this Russian military presence, and asked the Trump administration to prevent it. But the protests from Jerusalem went unheeded in Washington and Moscow. President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis regard the creation of US-Russian sponsored ceasefire zones in southwestern Syria as an essential component of their military cooperation in Syria and the war on ISIS.
July 24, Moscow announced the Russian deployment after the fact in messages to Washington, Jerusalem and Amman. They were all too engrossed in coping with the crises that had sprung up over Temple Mount and in relations between Jerusalem and Amman to pay much attention to this Russian fait accompli.

Let Putin have Syria. America has no desire to put troops on the ground there. Playing proxy wars are a waste of money and does little for foriegn policy. Personally, I'd rather see ISIS clobbered and a Russian puppet in charge. 0 -

All these Russia troops and mercenaries equipped with advance weapons systems and tactics is not going to sit well with The Israel government and Military.
They are not the average push over that have been in that region and if some incident did happen Israel would have a real threat to deal with like when The USA has to drop in weapons to turn the tide in
1973 with Operation Nickel Grass.
If The Muslim's could defeat Israel with Russian Help then all the dominoes would fall in line. The Shiites and Sunni's would unite. The peace treaties made are nothing but empty promises to be ignored when you can smell their blood.
