Allah Akbar can apparently mean: "God is great" ----- OR.... "THEY ARE REALLY FUCKING UP OUR SHIT!!!" Look for context clues to see which meaning is used and when. So simple. So true. Russia isn't "fucking up" anything. They are attempting to attack moderate freedom fighters and prop up a failing dictator, but will be defeated just like in Ukraine. We are seeing the last days of the putin regime. |

Meh, can't say that we never did the same thing in the Air Cav. Low and fast is the best way. I'd be lying if I said that none of us ever came home with shrapnel holes in our aircraft from our own exploding ordinance. Two Cobras and two Loaches with mini-guns can completely fuck up a bunch of bad guys. Most vital areas are armored and the fuel / oil tanks are self-sealing. Canopies, not so much. Doubtful you would see that sort of thing going on today with the modern equipment. Aircrafts and pilots cost too much for cowboying behavior even in the Cav.

Their focus is on the vetted moderates who are our guys, but unfortunately Obama's SOP has been to do too little, too late. You can bet Putin is regretting this, considering the number of planes they have lost so far, and the fact most of their missiles have crashed. When Obama responds with reciprocal sanctions, you can bet the regime will start to collapse. They'll be trading everyone's favorite traitor for some bags of wheat. |

I'm waiting for the video showing the goat fuckers standing around saying "WTF is that sound?" as there's a loud droning noise for about a half hour, followed by carpet bombing of Hadji's location, courtesy of a couple of some TU-95 Bears. If Putin is gonna go all-in, he needs to go all the way and show the world that our B-52s are not the only planes that can deliver shit tons of iron on target in one pass. View Quote This. Bring out the Bears. Of course we should ask if they have a non nuclear mission. |

These are the guys who released the video. Russian Insider. Go look for yourself and call me a liar. Here is a map of Syrian controlled territory, so you can check it yourself. Putin is an enemy of the United States. Just like Stalin wasn't just FDR or Truman's personal nemesis, Russia aggression is not and will not be limited to Obama. Putin invaded Georgia while Bush was still president. And in 15 months when Obama is gone, he'll continue doing doing fucked up shit. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Fly low map the terrain low , Pop flares Stingers can be thrown off by light and heat reflecting off the ground and its got roughly a minimum 200 meter arming range. The Russians remember this ..

I wonder if Putin is a ARFCOMMER. View Quote No, but apparently he has some propagandists spamming this site. The vetted moderates and pro-democracy guys on the ground are fighting against a brutal dictator, and we let Putin come in and bomb them with zero repercussions? I am sure Obama is working on something, but not fast enough. And not fast enough to save those freedom fighters on the ground. How any Americans could believe Russian Propaganda is mind boggling, Putin has some very clear and aggressive goals in Syria and the middle east but everyone forgets that. If Putin is not stopped here there is no telling where he will be emboldened to attack next. Those munitions dropped today will probably provide some measurable dents in ISIS and Russia/Assad in the coming days. Watch for MORE shot down planes, some riots starting up in Moscow (domestically in Russia people are getting fed up with Putin's meddling in other countries affairs). And watch for Snowden to be extradited to the US in the coming months in exchange for less painful sanctions. |

Maybe flying so low because the missiles obama and hillary gave ISIS (through benghazi) would have a hard time tracking low flying aircraft?

Propaganda BS aside, that is how you do it with a helicopter that has unguided rockets and machine guns.

I don't comment much, as you can see. But I have to say, it gets old reading comments where people say that there is such a thing as a "moderate Sunni Muslim militant". These people would eat our livers and burn us alive the first chance they got. Their religion teaches them to deceive us so that they can gain the upper hand, and you're kidding yourself if you believe these people could ever be trusted as our "allies" (or, perhaps you're the one who has bought into the propaganda. These days, CNN and the like are every bit as deceptive as Soviet Pravda). How have we not learned this already?
I for one am very glad to see the old Hinds getting some action, hopefully they are racking up the kills. If anything, we should actually be cooperating with the Russians here. Frankly, in the long-term these jihadi types are a much, much larger threat to the US (and to Russia) than anyone else on the planet. Didn't we learn what they're capable of yet? Crazy Ivan might be crazy, especially when hes drunk, but he sure as hell isn't stupid enough to launch a nuclear weapon against us. But what about jihadis? If they ever get their hands on one, we are in for a world of hurt. So ask yourself, who is our true enemy here? To them, every aspect of Western civilization is simply something that must be destroyed. These people simply don't belong in the 21st century. Our attempt at creating yet another power vacuum in the Middle East is just too ludicrous for words. Our current administration continues to act like wrongheaded, petulant children (but what else is new?). As "someone" said in another thread, we are arming the devil just to stick it to the Russians. Do we really want to do that? We're playing chess without giving the slightest thought as to what our opponents next move will be. (Edited just for a typing mistake) |
