There actually were. Check out how many times/dates Turkey had summoned a Russian ambassador to complain about that. Plus their minions who shot the pilot had been bombed a lot ( clips on youtube are available ). Whatever is left of them are having a very tough time in Turkey now explaining their actions to a judge (…

Captain Rogers in 1988 wasn’t so prudent.

My memory is a little bit hazy here, so I just wanted to ask you if US owned Cuba back in 1962 when the Soviet Union put their missiles 90 miles off the coast of Miami. I forgot how it all unraveled. You have to remind me my friend.

Good point. Do you really believe everything we say/reported over here? Lot of people where I live can’t watch a mainstrem TV anymore, it’s so ridden with lies.

You are wasting your time explaining some of these idiots what freedom of speech means. Trust me, none of them will listen.

These people know nothing about European and Russian history during lat several centuries. You are wasing your time replying to them, they won’t listen. Their collective intelligence level is that of an ash tray.

“Their entire force makeup is centered around having more weapons and troops than their opponents-lower quality, but greater quanity. Defence in depth, attack en-mass. It’s worked well for them for the majority of that time.”

You are an idiot with zero knowledge of military history.Especially Russian one. If numbers were the only factor in the game, China would of ruled the world. Boy, I’m glad you are not the one leading us into a battle.

Define serious world power? Then tell me, who on that list is going to seriously take on Russia’s “hopelessly outmatched” conventional forces in real all out conflict. Just curious what you gonna say.

They have been riding the system for a very long time. They know all ins and outs. They also know how they can manipulate the important people on the Hill. Not that those people know anything about professional military ops in the first place. Wussy, professional lawyers. I want them to go fight for this country. Not…

They will never give it if it’s were true.

Sending hostile warplanes into another country’s sovereign airspace? By any chance, did you mean Turkey literally flying thousands of incursions into the Greek air space over the Aegian? According to Forbes, there were over 2000 such incursions just last year alone. I guess this is how our friends that like buying oil…

Would you like Russia to nuke Turkey for Tuesday incident? What would we eat for Thanksgiving dinner then? A radioactive turkey? And who exactly had ‘their conventional forces asses handed to them?” Looking at the long history between them, they fought 11 different wars and every time Russia got better of their…

It’s probably more like I hate everything that is Russian. Nothing new here. Long time ago that’s what Hitler was saying in his famous piece Main Kampff. And that’s why he decided to take a trip over there in WW II. Our friend just comes off as intellectual with genuine ideas. In reality he follows a well traveled…

He could fire your a..s faster than they say YO on MTV. You know how he rolls. But I agree with you, he’s an idiot. Most politicians now are.

Both S-300 and S-400 are highly mobile with ALL their supporting command & control vehicles coming together as one group/batallion. Reaction time 5 min. What massive command & control capabilities are you talking about? U-2 wasn’t a stealth plane in a true sense. However, IT WAS flying very high altitude and Sovier AD…

Jerry, it seems you have a very high confidence about USAF stealth capabilities. They are pretty high indeed. How will they fare against a serious opponent? Nobody knows for sure. Talk is very cheap, especially on the popular military sites. However, if you look in the past, the Soviets/Russians were able to shoot…

Politician to politician?....

And by doing so, the CIA had helped a lot some radical Islamist groups such as AQ to become what they are now. Also because of those events, other “wonderful” individuals, such as Osama bin Laden became to prominence and caused an event in the American history called 9/11. Shall I continue?

At this point it’s pretty bad. I doubt they will ever comprehend what is going on there. They are too busy in Washigton fighting with the ladies from the Planned Parenthood. It is, after all a much easier target.
