Um... they shot down a drone (or, more likely, found one that crashed) over THEIR airspace.

This is a very flawed argument, the basis of which is “it’s worth rolling the dice on Iran’s reaction in order to make a point.” By your same logic, when two of our boats entered Iranian waters then Iran should have sank them both. “Because one of these days it will be a hostile action. And [Iran] won’t be ready for…

Aerial intelligence gathering. Don’t be so literal.

Actually, the joke is that this is even newsworthy, and that simple-minded folks manage to get huffy-puffy over something that has been quite normal for decades.

SOMETHING WENT WRONG, BLAME OBAMA.

Really, you’ve seen the apocolypse? I mean, I’ve played Fallout too but no, that doesn’t count.

When you have one large neighbor building up and staking extraterritorial claims and another neighbor who is certifiably insane, to not strengthen yourself to act if it becomes necessary is foolishness. Weakness is a horrendously poor virtue when it comes to ensuring national sovereignty and securing territory against…

Japan has been producing much more capable fighters for decades, such as the Mitsubishi F2 and license produced F-15s. While the military balance of power has certainly shifted in the region and things are tense in the South China Sea, do you think China or Japan, whose economies are inextricabily linked, really want…

Putin helping rein in corruption is like Hitler helping the Jews.

Wow, that is the biggest bit of propaganda baloney. Are you part of the the Russian correctionist blogosphere or what? Russia had its hands all over Ukraine for decades before the West (not even the US) had anything to do with that part of the world. Planting the idea that the US had anything to do with the conditions…

Not yet...

Surprised no one has photoshopped Trump livery on to a Harrier Jump Jet and called it a Trump Jet.

I didn’t even know the Russians still had fighter jets. I thought Turkey shot them all down.

I have to believe that there is some version of for lack of a better name “The Aurora” that has been flying even before the Habu was retired. It is probably Hypersonic, flies at 80,000 to 100,000 feet or higher and uses Pulse Detonation Engines. It is the most secret manned black aircraft ever built, and has a stealth…

Anyone rooting for a man that’s spent the last 3 years murdering 300,000 of his own citizens because he refused to step-down after losing support from 83% of the population (Sunni, Kurds, Turkmen), which resulted in huge security vacuums exploited by ISIS; who’s used chemical weapons against his own people; and who’s…

It didn’t happen in a vacuum. He emptied his jails so he could claim that everyone opposing him was a “terrorist” as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. But he never would have done so had there not been secular protests and uprisings to force his hand in the first place. The problem of Nusra, Daesh, etc. was one that…

Exactly.

You lost me at “children shot by trigger happy cops” in an article about ISIS taking control of a city.
