Thank you. If you’re looking for a laugh, look up the military readiness of our “allies” in the region, think about how much fun it would be to go to war beside the Filipino Jet Trainer Force. At least Viet Nam, being a former soviet client state, has some Flankers and Kilos to go along with the ubiquitous MiG 21s and…

Who’s saying it, though? The US can’t say anything, we can grumble about maritime navigation rights that nobody else observes (Freedom of Navigation/ 12 mile stuff) but it’s not like we have a territorial claim.

Wow, didn’t realize diplomacy was that easy. He sure has a great strategic and diplomatic mind.

The Chinese are the ones we should be watching not Russia. I understand that the islands are disputed and claimed by various countries so what is the correct mechanism for settling it once and for all? Obviously Chinas claim are just utterly ridiculous to begin with

It also appears to be a belly shot, so that thing hanging off is the Flanker series boat tail, not the vertical stab. Definitely Flanker series.

Just like the Saudis bombing Yemen back into the Stone Age without so much a whimper from us. Funny how that works. All depends on who's killing who.

For all we know right now, inside the bombed buildings there was no one except a bunch of holed up opposition snipers and RPG gunners. After all, did you see any civilians? If people are living there, why 90% of all windows in the buildings are missing? Aleppo was a place of savage urban combat for years now. I doubt…

I am 99% sure the Saudi intervention is going to be in the form of Saudi C-130 tactical transports landing in Incirlik, loaded with tons cash. Then the Saudi defense calls his counter part in Turkey, and says “Suleyman... you have a strong and brave army. Would you make the Russians and those pesky non-radical…

It’s not clear what exactly authority USA had to declare a “no fly” zone over a sovereign countries. The only argument USA has in its sleeve against Assad’s regime is that he “slaughtered 300,000 people”. But this is a bullshit claims since this frequently quoted number includes more than two thirds deaths of…

Well, then I guess we can’t condemn Daesh for beheading people either, since all sides are equally morally right in war.

That was no fucking pothole!

Mig 29's don’t have canards, the aircraft in the video do.

That was a Su-34 in the top video, if that’s what you’re referring to.

I know there is likely an order of magnitude difference. But the caveat stands.

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.

Um, usually these video’s are shot by the opposition and they are cheering for their adversaries demise. I’m well educated thank you. Go spend a few hours on Live Leak and get back to me.

“Unless of course, the US has a magical ability to make a country’s population rise up against their ruler”

Do you even know what we are doing in Syria exactly? Does anyone?

This is a country that lost more than 20 million people fighting Hitler, their tolerance for human suffering is considerably higher than ours.

Damn, Obamabots already here D:
