The problem, is that Erdogan could escalate NATO into a conflict with Russia, simply because Putin called him out on his covert support for DAESH, and decided to put his fighters in the air to blow up Turkish tankers that are transporting DAESH oil. Having my security threatened by a yahoo like Erdogan isn’t where I…

Screw Turkey. Shooting down a Russian fighter for a minor airspace violation is outrageous. Turkey isn’t even a democratic country. Why people want to back Erdogan mystifies me. He runs Armenian Christians out of the country, and Islamic fascists blow up Christian churches with essentially no repercussions. They have…

I believe that is a war crime.

Yeah, the 1980s stingers had batteries that wore out. But these TOWs are in a country that borders Israel, Turkey, Iran, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and the Kurd zones. The borders of Syria are at this point an anachronism. These TOWs are free to move between the constellation of Sunni terror orgs. I would imagine than in…

It means all the purists are going to cause an uproar. QUICK BREAK OUT THE PITCHFORKS!

If the radar is accurate, and if the Russian jet was only in Turkey’s airspace for 20 or so seconds, and if the Turkish F-16’s pursued the jet into Syrian airspace then this most certainly is an act of aggression on Turkeys part.

Yeah, Russia should totally respect Turkey’s protection of ISIS and those oil smugglers.

They (Turkey) already have the “worst member of NATO” title - let us not forget that they are barely democratic these days - with a little “d”

At the end of the day we have two aircrew who were gunned down as they parachuted from their burning aircraft, footage of which has been spread over the internet. Another serviceman lost his life trying to rescue them.

Remember a few months ago when Tyler put up a post of a Russian Su-24 flying with a Walmart handheld GPS bungeed to the dashboard, and all the Russian sockpuppets frothed about how great of an idea that was?

My sentiments exactly. Hell would freeze over before I side with Putin, but it’s getting chilly lately.

The CIA has got to shut down the TOW pipeline. This is getting out of hand. Has the CIA not learned its lessons from previous efforts at arming Sunni Islamist Revolutionaries with semi-smart weapons? Sunni Islamist Revolutionaries have a way of targeting someone you care about with the semi-smart weapons. It is…

I bet you don’t see any videos of Russians bombing an urban area...

Literally the first video.

Because there is no fighting in “the desert” in Syria. Look at the videos above.

We (U.S.A.) strike with so many munitions every day, sometimes we make mistakes. The difference here is we admitted fault. Additionally this comparison is irrelevant because we actually(accidentally) targeted that hospital. It was bad intelligence/decision making, but that was the target and we destroyed it very…

Weird game. Some people love it, some people think it’s a massive missed opportunity - very little middle ground. Personally I’m in the latter camp, I LOVE the visuals and the sound design but that’s about it... it just feels shallow, empty, absolutely lacking in depth even compared to the likes of Battlefield. Going…

I hate to admit it, but this game is really terrible. Not surprising for EA, but still, ouch.

When are countries going to realize that F1 races, World Cups, and Olympics are not worth the investment. They make the organizations tons of money and lose money for everyone else. If they stop accepting these fees, they were be forced to be lowered.
