I think it was 60 minutes said that we have dropped 50,000+ bombs on targets in Syria and Iraq in the last couple of years.

So you admit a double standard is fine? I want to educate the murica circle jerk that history has 2 sides, the US is just as bad as Russia. There are no “good” guys in this. Its called principle, if X can do it why can’t Y. The legal term is precedent.

You didn’t? Mkay. Yes, the city appears deserted. Syrian government and Kurds on the ground usually warn the locals in Aleppo to clear the area before the offensive. You did know that Kurds are operating in the North of Aleppo under Russian air cover, right? Hence the Erdogan’s recent mental breakdown.

That is actually a very fair point, and one that is worth discussing.

Real war has no rules. You fight dirty, with overwhelming force and indiscriminate horror until those you fight either surrender unconditionally or are all dead. These hamstrung pr campaigns we’ve been doing for 60 years haven’t turned out so well, have they? I personally hate war, but I hate half-assed politically…

Oh, man. Jihadi Tyler is at it again :D Yes, when it comes to “terrorists”, only ‘Murica knows best.

The Russians understand war, we understand managing conflicts to unsatisfactory outcomes. War is killing until the survivors give it up. The Russians will change the facts on the ground while we stammer at the UN.

after taking in just about every one else's take on these matters, yours alone makes perfect sense

Am I the only one that has noticed an almost complete silence from the Kremlin right now? It is actually starting to alarm me. It's just past 7:00am in Moscow right now, and none of my sources have anything.

Lol. I love how you point of the hypocrisy of most European countries. Whether they like it or not, they are our vassel states. They don't put money in their own budgets for defense, so we do it for them... I always get irritated when people say we should model our economy after Denmark (or any other European country…

Its just sickening hypocrisy. Once the trillion dollar PR machine has you on its sights its game over.

Saudis and Turks are the biggest financiers and enablers of extremist Islamist terrorism in the world. It’s a goddamn travesty that Turkey is in NATO, and the Saudis are such close allies of the US. This whole conflict is just staggering for these reasons alone...

This story is clearly false; if we learned anything about Turkey is that no country in the worlds respects national borders and territorial integrity like them.

The Cold War started again when the Russians annihilated the Georgian Military in two weeks when the US and Israel were training and arming Georgia to be a Vietnam for the Russians.

Turkey is already bombing the Kurds again around Aleppo and IMO ought to be kicked out of NATO. Saudi Arabia supports extremist scum. The US calls both Turkey and Saudi Arabia “allies” and has had a habit of stabbing Kurds in the back since the first Gulf War. Russia is supposed to be a scare crow in Europe but in…

Iran is quickly becoming westernized, isn’t this what the US wanted? An Islamic country that has a pretty relaxed culture?

Remember, if you fuck up in Saudi Arabia, you’ll lose your head. In Iran, you’ll probably lose a few years..... That sounds much better than, oh, I dunno. DEATH!

Well...that Shah thing was a pretty d***k move on the part of the CIA. We helped stage a coup “taking out” their legally elected government to put our puppet the Shah in power, and all to protect Americ.....oh wait, no that wasn’t it.

Oh man I can’t get that out of my head!! Imagine Indian Army tanks!

Do people chose to ignore the fact that Assad is the legitimate ruler of the sovereign state of Syria?Islamist terrorists are attacking the sovereign legitimate government and we are backing the terrorists? The FSA and the rest of their terrorist kin are no better than ISIS, there are plenty of videos online of them…
