Life Inside the ISIS Home Base of Raqqa, Syria

ISIS shows its control of business down to forced religious attendance and what can be displayed of women's clothing. Legalistic religion to the point of crucifixion if you break the rules.

This area Raqqa is where France sent in airstrikes and now Russia is launching cruise missiles.

The Russian military has fired multiple cruise missiles from its ships in the Mediterranean aimed at the Isis stronghold of Raqqa, according to reports.

US officials were quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying Russia had launched a "significant number" of strikes in Syria using both sea-launched cruise missiles and long-range bombers.

The French daily Le Monde cited senior French government officials as saying Russian missiles had struck Isis positions in Raqqa, its de facto capital in its Syrian territories.

According to reports, Russian officials gave their US counterparts notice ahead of the strikes, in a sign of closer cooperation between the two states after talks between Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama at the G20 summit.

Videos showing alleged cruise missiles flying and crashed in Syria appeared across social media on Tuesday, though their provenance could not be immediately verified.


Russia has vowed to escalate its military campaign in Syria after it was confirmed the airliner which crashed in Sinai was brought down by a bomb.

"Our military work in Syria must not only continue," Mr Putin said. "It must be strengthened in such a way so that the terrorists will understand that retribution is inevitable."

Our money would've been better spent at a fraction of the cost to setup internet and drop smart phones. Not bombs.

Within a generation theocracies and dictators would begin crumbling.
