Exactly. That’s what makes this argument so dumb.

I didn’t see anyone comment on this video about Putin being homophobic. (Even though he is)

I kinda feel like they’re two shots of the same event? No idea what that would have been, though.

Oh, I forgot that every Muslim who opposes Assad is a terrorist, and that that is your narrative. Which is totally not bigoted at all.

Actually, the Russian people really do strike me as very similar to Americans, especially as compared to Europeans. Russians have a strong sense of exceptionalism, much like Americans. Almost unnecessarily large military. Lower standard of living and worse health system than western Europe. Very high levels of…

Sometimes, but there really ARE a lot of Russian posters here that only show up when a post involves Russia or Syria.

LOL at the idea that any country that dislikes Russia is a “US puppet”.

That’s a Croatian MiG, not a Russian one.

This is the dumbest argument. Nobody here supports jihadists, and most of the posters on this site don’t even support Obama.

The video of the pigs was filmed in 1986. If it had been published in 1986, those guys would have likely been in trouble. This was recent.

This is the single most predictable post on any FA story involving Russia.

Indeed. You as well. Was thinking of you recently when I saw several photos on Facebook of S-3s at the boneyard.

They have very advanced weapons designed to counter specific US/western strengths — for example, their anti-aircraft SAMs (as opposed to anti-missile SAMs) and anti-ship weapons are very advanced. But generally their air to ground weapons aren’t nearly to the level of ours. And either way, yes, they do have some…

Not clean, but making an honest effort not to just kill everything in certain areas.

I haven’t watched this year’s, but I’ve seen past years. Hornet Ball or Strike Fighter Ball depending on the year.

DS9 was the best as a series.

It also doesn’t go very far under normal circumstances. Can you get a TV signal from another city, say, even 30, 40 miles away?

Some of the aircraft are newer, but if those weapons loadouts they keep showing are newer than 1970s Russian tech, well... they’re a bit behind

Seen it before. So sad. :(

Personal loudspeakers but not TVs. So North Korea.
