“Nusra doesn’t have an air force do they?” one U.S. official sarcastically told Fox News when asked who the system was meant to deter. Nusra is a reference to al-Qaida’s Syrian affiliate, who Russia often says they target. The official’s comment implies the U.S. believes Russia’s deployment is meant to constrain U.S. options in Syria.
The U.S. Department of State cut off all bilateral relations with Russia over Syria Monday, after Russia refused to stop indiscrimately bombing the city of Aleppo on behalf of the Assad regime. U.S. defense officials confirmed Russia will be able to thwart any potential U.S. cruise missile strikes in Syria with the new system.

Just amazing seeing Russia believes it can win a nuclear war. Are we stupid enough to test them?
U.S. Army Chief Threatens War With Russia
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark
Milley warned last night that the United States was ready to “destroy”
its enemies in comments that were clearly directed at Russia.
“I
want to be clear to those who wish to do us harm….the United States
military – despite all of our challenges, despite our [operational]
tempo, despite everything we have been doing – we will stop you and we
will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before. Make no
mistake about that,” said Milley.
The General went on to warn that Russia and other countries had taken advantage of the U.S. being focused on the war on terror.

My favorite. :)
Maybe I'm missing something! Can someone please tell me how the Russians are hurting us? I haven't seen any around here lately. Or is this a way some think a war should alter the upcoming elections.
ReplyDeleteTypical Democratic party thinking. Trump and Putin are the men.
DeleteWTF! Provoke a war with Russia? Are these people Bat s--t insane? Have they forgotten world history? Have they forgotten World War II history? Based on history, if we start a war with Russia, it will NOT end well for us. I would put the odds of us (the FUSA) losing at 100%. What we should do is back off, bring our troops home and mind our own damn business. I am sure that another nation wants us to meddle in their business, they will ask us to. And let us stop this hypocrisy of freeing other people from "brutal dictators" when we here in the FUSA are much less freer than we were 40-50 years ago and where we living in a police state and were we are being spied upon all the time.
ReplyDeleteNo sir, I don't want a war with Russia and see zero reason to go to war with Russia. Further more, I will take it as a given that what ever our leaders and the media tell us, they are lying to us. May God NOT forgive those who would bring war upon this nation.
Agreed, insane.
DeleteTrump has lost my vote. He'll just keep sending other people's children to kill other people's children, like most of the Presidents of my too long life. My first ever vote for President was for DDE in 1956. His son John served as an officer. Has any POTUS since him had a child in the military? Certainly Trump and the Frump have not. The Kenyan has us on the verge of WWIII, but I don't think our leaders are worried. I don't count W's Reserve membership any more than I count my eight years in Army Reserve. God save my grand-children from the greedy, egotistical fools that we elect, and usually re-elect. I'm guilty.
DeleteI'm looking for a John Randolph of Roanoke Plantation who defined a Republican in 1813.
Randolph Excerpt.
"These principles are on record; …. What are they? Love of peace, hatred of offensive war, jealousy of the state governments toward the general government; a dread of standing armies; a loathing of public debt, taxes, and excises; tenderness for the liberty of the citizen; jealousy, Argus-eyed jealousy, of the patronage of the President."
None of my old Republican friends, even Virginians, will discuss Randolph with me.
I spent 34 years making the transport rockets for nuclear war-heads. Only insane fools think an atomic war will have winners.
Pray tell what are you talking about my Dear Horace? :) Trump wants to be friends with Putin/Russia, has refused the first strike option and has no intention of letting this spiral forward, all the exact opposite of Hillary. The Democrats are now the war mongering party.
DeleteI thought I heard Trump promise to support Assad, which would require troops. But I am old and often wrong. You have my proxy to comment politically. Carry on.
DeleteDoesn't look good.

Typical Stalinist tactics.

Precisely, our ignorance and Holier-Than-Thou attitude knows no bounds.
Ask Mr. Rothschild, Rockefeller, and Soros - they have been calling the shots in warmongering and refugee invasions all over the world. They make a great deal of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ off the constant chaos. They want to eliminate sovereign nations, and America is #1 on their HIT List. The Clintons, Bushes, Obama, and many lesser players (like the Gang of 8) are all players in the destruction of our country as a free nation. Our Govt. actively, directly started a war and called it 'Arab Spring' - the Masters want Syria next. Obama lives to depose the leader of a sovereign nation because Assad is a moderate who has kept Shariah from taking over his country. Putin is helping to defend Syria from falling into total chaos like in Libya. This is indeed worth starting WW3 over in the eyes of Putin because it doesn't stop there - Ukraine will be back on the front burner.
ReplyDeleteOur leaders are 100% wrong in what they have been doing for the past 20+ years from the war crimes in Serbia/Kosovo to Afghanistan and all over North Africa and the Middle East. No one is left in our military or our Govt. to stop the Madness and refuse this Tyrant's illegal unconstitutional orders. We have been sold out, my fellow Americans. Sold out big time.

DeleteChess and checkers again. Putin will clean Obama's clock.
Exactly right. We slept, and most of us are still asleep. I am thankful for Sioux and Brock and their ilk.
