It’s a beauty indeed. It’s like we stopped making sexy, curvy warplanes with the B-1 bomber. Everything else is now so angular (and ugly).

Jimmy Carter back then was so convinced Ayatollah Khomeini was “a man of integrity ...”

See, that’s a real littoral combat ship. Emphasis on ‘combat.’ Gotta love how the Russians just over-stuff their ships to the gills with weapons.

Nah, they’ll just behead 10,000 people, throw gay men off of 10-story buildings, teach pre-teen kids to kill, and rape and disembowel women. And capture most of it on Youtube and/or Instagram, and brag about it.

Yep. Stockton’s sorta like San Bernardino. A total fucking hairy smelly armpit of a town. Just spelled differently.

Cuz what are the odds of that sorta misfire?

I’m willing to bet there are more than a few genuine Pentagon or Lockheed Martin trolls on here. Especially LH. Don’t underestimate how slick their marketing organization is. They got this shit figured out a long time ago.

Thanks. I had no idea those ducts where there!! So that’s where the intakes went ....

Oh, some of the missiles crashed in Iran?

Yeah, their cruise missiles seem to launch almost like our MLRS rockets.

You read way too much into what I post LOL. Lighten up.

Interesting. Thanks to you and killer tater. I didn’t know cruise missiles were designed that way. I kinda thought they’d be like small ICBMs. With stubby wings. And air-breathing turbine intakes.

Why do you keep painting stuff as if they were just coming from a single source, and I haven’t done my research and my own thinking?

Huh? Have you been hiding under a rock or something? Everyone knows ISIS is in Libya, man. Do you know someone there from ISIS who’s saying they’re not really “ISIS” but they’re really “ISIS in Libya” or some highly nuanced thing like that? LOL

Yes, because the western strategy was to conduct a war of attrition, and keep hammering Syria until the government basically ran out of soldiers, bullets and money. It’s basically the same strategy they used in Libya. They thought they could pull it off, until Russia intervened.

Oh geez, have you even checked Nuland’s background? She’s was DICK CHENEY’s chief foreign policy adviser when he was VP. She’s married to Bob Kagan, one of the current principals of the Brookings Institution. Brookings, of course, is one of the bastions of neoconservatism.

Gotta question your sources. Sure there are vids on YT of Syrians dropping barrel bombs ... but on whom??

Yeah, the mainstream western media has practically whipped itself into a frothy hysteria. All these claims of Russia-is-bombing-poor-Syrian- civilians, Russia-is-not-doing-the-right-thing, Russia-gonna-fail, Russia-hitting-moderate-rebels. It’s all so overblown, negative, and propagandistic and self-contradictory, and…

Yes, that’s why the Iraqis are gonna ask them to start doing air strikes in Iraq as well .... LOL. Because, you know, they’re so ... “ineffective.”

Can’t you tell the impact they’re having by the sheer hostility and anti-Russian frenzy being drummed up in the Western mainstream media? The angrier and more frenzied the media gets with its propaganda, the more I know that ISIS is getting its ass kicked. They, and the Pentagon, and the French, the Brits — all of you…
