You sir, nailed it.

With much more credible information than the stuff already out there.

I just read the article and 99% of it is the original rumor plus lots of disclaimers that it probably isnt true.

Oh, but it is simply a tabloid story.

And in a deteriorating situation, which may trigger hostile actions, the last thing you need is disinformation or wrong information.

Like what’s “credible knowledge” in the article? It’s all unconfirmed, and its citing Twitter feeds from Syrian jihadists. Not to mention it’s all from that tabloid Express UK. You’d get more accurate info from PerezHilton.com or from TMZ. The Express is a joke. It’s like citing Naturalnews.com or Infowars ... no-one…

It isn’t knowledge. It’s a rumor that is based literally on nothing.

Please don’t post things until they’re confirmed. You just feed speculation.

Those Su-30SMs and Su-34s are all less than five years old.

Bollocks.

Assuming the worst would be realizing and coming to grips with the truth that ISIS was trained, created and equipped by our country.

Yeah, your right. We suck because we choose diplomacy instead of war.

I think these idiots don’t realize that real people with families have to go out an fight in these wars. They think this is a game of Risk that the U.S. is losing.

Are you thick-headed? The context surrounding all of this a 10+ year dual war in two countries that amounted to squat. NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO WAR. Especially over in the Middle East again. Bush spent the war capital on Iraq and Afghanistan; the bank is empty.

I love how all you rightwing morons think that not starting wars every few weeks is a lack of leadership.

You give Putin way too much credit. And you overcomplicate things. Russia is helping Syria for one thing, and one thing alone: to prevent regime change and the installation of a pro-western leader who would then approve and open up Syria to the most crucial part of the proposed Qatar-to-Turkey gas pipeline.

So what is your strategy? War with Russia? NATO is staying completely out of the Middle East simply because of the mess Bush made, it’s unpredictable because of all the damage done. There is no rational reason to begin combat operations in Syria.
