    But they're not really having an effect: Exclusive: RAF Brimstone Missile Has Not Killed Any Isis Militants In Syria, And Only Seven Hit By UK Bombs

    I wonder how that all cost?

    "Médecins Sans Frontières believes giving GPS coordinates of its facilities to Assad and Russian forces increases chance of direct targeting"

    "Humanitarian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Guardian that the Syrian government has explicitly threatened to bomb a hospital in a besieged suburb of Damascus if it continues to admit emergency cases, and said doctors and families were targeted by the regime."

    MSF stops sharing Syria hospital locations after 'deliberate' attacks | World news | The Guardian


    Well, that explains why Russian Airforce was so accurate - they were given the coordinates for bombing.

    There are a lot of non-military things that can be done - kick out all Russian spies from London for example like Thatcher did, recall ambassadors from EU, USA and others - total isolation - start asking questions to all those Russian officials who own £10 mln properties in London.
