Russians in Syria

Postby Splitpin » Thu Oct 01, 2015 8:21 pm

Seems the whole world is dropping stuff on Syria these days .... I'm amazed Mr Putin took this long.
The whole thing is terrible , and i wonder why "they" cant form a coalition , like they did when Sadam nipped into Kuwait .

I do agree with what HRH Abdullah the 2nd of Jordan said at the UN this week , that this is indeed world war three ," and the world must respond with equal intensity , global collective actions on all fronts "

If they could just all get together (Hmmm) this filth could be cleaned up .... or at least until the next bunch pop up.
But as it stands , Russia wont share any tactical plans , and the yanks wont share theirs ..... and the toothless dog , that is the UN , forms yet another committee <_< could be messy.
I think the support or non support of Bashar al-Assad will be the sticking point.


All that aside , and from a strictly aviation point of view .... i wonder what aircraft Russia is operating there ?

Nothing new here - the major powers want somewhere to test their latest weaponry and delivery systems, and they are not above creating a conflict to use for that purpose, if for some reason they have neglected to do so earlier.

I look at Syria as a button push country, more terrorist radicals come out off the borders than refugees ... It has taken far to long someone has to do it.

Putin is the only Strongman visible on this stage, and knows it.

Pity the poor "freedom fighters" that were trained and armed by the CIA, that just got blown into eternity by a laserbomb-toting Frogfoot.

Whatever the outcome in Syria, Europe is now forever changed by the migrant flood, while its leadership watches in complete paralysis.
