The man made islands are not considered part of China’s territory by International Law since they were made in international waters

We used to play this chicken game with the Russians back in the ‘80’s. We were careful to turn off radars and to aim weapons down to the deck to preclude any excuse for a “misunderstanding” and I thought both sides, at least the men on the ships if not the men back at headquarters, pretty-well understood the game. I…

You know, they didn’t get a horse to direct Seabiscuit!

Fill up on meat and other high protein foods if you want to preserve your lean body mass.

You are the most predictable commenter on all of Gawkerdom.

1) Food sales only have to be 45%, not 50%. Not huge but it can be a substantial difference for a high-traffic place. This isn’t a very undue burden for a place that’s open for both dinner and lunch, when people are less likely to drink.

I put seven of these in the 24-year-old son’s room. Didn’t work; he’s still in my house. 0/10

1. Canceled during Bush admin by Gates — Obama actually deployed the F22 in combat and has moved more into the Middle East. Zumwalt is still going on. (Zumwalt is a disaster btw, was supposed to be 28 ships, now going to be 3 useless boats without CIWS or BMD, and the long range gun doesn’t work)

You really think the Arab Spring happens without destabilizing Iraq and Syria?

Saddam had them in check. The British did mess up the borders and the Muslims themselves are a violent death cult, most religions have had a reformation and become more peaceful, that spends as much time killing each other as killing non Muslims. Read my posts they are on average as well written as the majority here…

Moving goalposts. How are things over at Hot Air? Still advocating buying gold?

If you want to blame anybody blame Bush who started this fire early for no good reason, the invasion of Iraq with NO plan for peace keeping or stability and the disbandment of the military created chaos that is still being felt. Without Bush there would be no ISIS in the ME because Hussein, a staunch secularist and…

As for what President Obama thinks of all this? He did an interview with 60 Minutes that aired yesterday that made it clear he sees Russia’s involvement in Syria as a failure in policy in Russia’s end, and not a lack of leadership on his.

You don't understand the Russian target-designation system. You aim and fire your missiles, and then, wherever they hit, those were your intended targets. This guarantees 100% accuracy.

Airborne weapons systems nearly always require targeting intel that comes from elsewhere, either pre-mission briefings or live on-ground targeting intel. This mission was relying on the latter. It is not the aircrew’s job to “verify” intelligence coming from ground assets when they have no way to do so as well as the…

“Iran gave the Russians permission to use their airspace, so it’d doubtful they’d care if a cruise missile DID crash.”

He should know what they are, he threw a couple around haphazardly.

What do you think ellipses are?
