The Desert Storm was certainly more than justified (unlike gloating at the massacre of tenths of thousands of retreating Iraqi troops on this highway of death). Saddam Hussein was a madman who not only invaded Kuwait, but he also started a decade earlier the Iraq-Iran war that resulted in something like 1 million…

If you can’t tell it whether those were just soldiers or war criminals retreating, even 25 years after the fact, this only confirms that their slaughter was a crime. Saddam was told to retreat, many times. He finally did, and his troops got slaughtered anyways. Hail the American justice.

Each person had the choice to go along or not... even if the latter meant certain death.

They chose not to leave

In this particular case it’s wasn’ shooting. It was a slaughter.

Truly idiot comment, because you can’t charge every single German solider who fought for the third Reich with war crimes.

Just last week, I helped a neighbor jumpstart his Chrysler 300 which had a dead battery (wouldn’t hold any charge). Immediately after starting the car, he drove it to a shop to have a new battery installed. Just imagine the joy it will be to try to drive a car with a dead battery to the same shop if it had a mandatory…

I agree with what you say, but the V6 engine cost and its sound was the straw that broke camel’s back. In reality, the primary problem of the staggering cost of F1 racing is due to the fact that teams now have to show up at 20 races a year, and most of them outside of Europe. The costs of trackside facilities, rubber,…

That’s why I advocate that rules should allow engines to run at their limits. Scrap the limit on the number of engines per season. Scrap the fuel flow and RPM limit. Allow unlimited in season engine development. Remember the races from the 80s and 90s where multiple cars per race would end the race with an engine…

The first real problem F1 is facing right now are the engine reliability rules that no longer allow the engines to be run at their limits and occasionally fail. Remember those races from the 90s where something like 5-6 cars per race could end the race with that wonderful white smoke? The second problem are the…

Schumacher was never a pay driver in F1. Neither was Alonso.

If I was Maldonado I’d want to race in Formula E. But as a Formula E fan, I hope he doesn’t races in it, and goes to some other series like TUSCC, or whatever they call it today.

He’ll fit right in.

Su-24 probably for dropping gravity bombs and other low tech weapons, and for training.

USA angry? USA is already pretty angry at Egypt after el-Sisi ousted the elected Morsi a couple years ago. The relations have been somewhat cold. As for Saudis, I believe they are the ones bankrolling Egypts recent weapons shopping spree with a hope of forming a military alliance with them.

Pretty much zero or negative. For one, to have any chance at all, Germany should want it back, but Germany’s official position is that Kaliningrad is Russian territory. The situation is quite different in the Kuril Islands dispute between Russia and Japan. Japan never signed a peace agreement with Russia, and still…

And don’t forget that big chunk of coastal east Prussia that used to connect Konigsberg with the German mainland is now Poland..

Aren’t Porsche 911 supposed to have a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder boxer ICE?

Is this why Putin’s approval rating is +80% in Russia for the last 15 years? Please. Putin runs an authoritarian regime, but he is widely popular too..

Tyler, I guess it’s a slow news day, nothing else to write about? Pictures like these, you could find for years ever week on englishrussia.com.
