MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian military to withdraw most of its forces from Syria, timing his move to the launch of Syria peace talks Monday — an end game that allows the Russian leader to cash in on his gains and reduce his risks in the conflict.

The start of the negotiations in Geneva offers Putin an opportune moment to declare an official end to the 5 ½-month Russian air campaign that has allowed Syrian President Bashar Assad’s army to win back some key ground and strengthen his positions ahead of the talks. With Russia’s main goals in Syria achieved, the pullback will allow Putin to pose as a peacemaker and help ease tensions with NATO member Turkey and the Gulf monarchies vexed by Moscow’s military action.   Continue reading “Putin orders start of Russian military pullout from Syria”

Cape Coral, FL – Instead of making his presence known or identifying himself as an officer, a cowardly cop snuck up behind a woman arguing with her boyfriend and violently threw her to the ground, knocking her unconscious.

Early on Sunday, Brittnie Fails was arguing with her boyfriend in a parking lot across the street from Dixie Roadhouse when an unidentified police officer knocked her unconscious. Admittedly drunk, Fails was lightly pushing her boyfriend while demanding her cigarettes and car keys when a Cape Coral cop suddenly rushed up behind her and slammed her to the pavement.    Continue reading “Cop Sneaks Up Behind Woman and Knocks Her Unconscious — Says She’s Faking It”
