Cool! And of course now Russia has an exclave in the form of Crimea — sea access is a pretty big deal, of course. It’s why Britain keeps Gibraltar.

I can 100% guarantee you not one of them could even point to within 500 miles of Belgrade. You are dealing with people who get their news from Fox and haven’t read a newspaper or book all their lives.

Can I just apologize on behalf of the west for illegally occupying Kosovo. Kosovo is the birthplace of Serbia, it will always be Serbia.

I had a buddy at PMRI who was over there getting paid to train the Muslims to use artillery and he told me that they were every bit as vicious as the people they were fighting against. He didn’t like them much.

The problem is that non-terrorist organizations like the FSA are not doing particularly well in battle, and some FSA militants changed sides to more radical groups, which is how French weapons found their way to extremist groups.

Word ‘round the comment section is it was actually a coordinated assault by 256 US-backed anti-Assad fighters wearing suicide vests.

Sure.. We are also fighting Assad. Think those TOW’s that the FSA are using are coming from Uncle Mohamed’s garage sale?

Would not be surprised if ISIS or the “moderate rebels” follow the Hamas playbook and have command and control or other troop facilities near soft targets such as hospitals, schools (if any exist), etc.

Then why did the UN not suggest organising a separate referendum for Crimea since they decided the referendum led by Moscow is invalid?

Once you start to swear it shows 2 things. 1. You are immature and 2. You are frustrated because you are out of your depth

One interesting observation, if you look carefully at the buildings in the bombed out areas, do you see many buildings with glass windows on them or no signs of gun fire? In my humble opinion, those areas must have been vacated a long time ago. A civilians trying to make a living in a place like Aleppo must be insane.…

Yeah, but they’re local so they have such flawless intel that barrel bombs only kill bad guys.

What exactly is your basis for assuming the SAA doesn’t care about civilians?

2006 on Baghdad, USAF spokesperson says their cluster bomb strike kill 1 Civilian.

To be fair, that’s pretty similar to How Bush expanded the term”combatant” to make sure that pretty much anyone that got killed could be labeled as an enemy.

They Russians have bombed and cut off the ISIS oil tanker trucks. So effectively even we decided it was a good idea and did some truck-destroying ourselves!

You’ve got to be smarter than this.

That would be too obvert. Everyone knows Assad is no Khadaffi. Syria after the wars with Israel has always been known as one of the most secular and moderate Arab nations (Imean, go ask Israel even).

Yeah, typical Jalopnik & Jihadi Tyler “piece”, D+. You got everything here: “dumb Russian bombs”, “Assad regime”, “international community” etc. And ‘Murica on a white horse.Yeah, except, not a single “civilian” in the said video. “International community wising up” - oh, right when US and Saudi “freedom fighters”…

We’re there to replace the Assad regime. Period.
