Well you remember the jingle he came with, well he was and is that change, and the hope was for the oligarcs they hoped he would shield them long enough for him to ruin the country, and he has delivered, expertly. Eight years down the tube, things could have been different, the country could have stopped its adventures, it could have become what it claimed to be, a democracy.

The Yanks have become too uppity and reckless and need to be taken down to protect their filthy rich masters.

The British monarchy and secret British governmental departments are the Americans' secret masters and the British Empire still continues but in an "underground", covert way.

Most people don't realise that O'Bama, and all other US Presidents before him, is a British puppet, secretly getting America to do Britain's bidding.

Have the Russians put a hold on cruise missile strikes? I am sure Iran is not very happy with them running out of gas over Iran.

How sad. Remember when Turkey couldn't harass Russian aerospace fighters?

Turkey Says Its Jets Harassed by Syrian Warplanes, Missile Systems
Syrian fighter jets and missile systems harassed Turkish F-16 warplanes near the Turkish-Syrian border on Saturday, the Turkish military said on Sunday, once again bringing the conflict to NATO's southeastern flank.

Cruise Missile Strike on ISIL: Success for Russia, Troubles for NATO

Somehow I don't think the intel came from the US.

Predictable is more like it as the losing side resorts to such tactics. The really sad/bad part is that once the pattern is obvious then past events sometimes take on a whole new light. That is a topic for a different thread.

I hear the radius is 1500 miles, I imagine that would be nautical miles as they are fired from boats. I wonder if Porky is feeling like the ISIS Commander on the run and no place was found to hide. Putin should know how to follow a guy if anybody would.

It's pathetic that you can find nothing else but a CNN lie to contribute.


You didn't see the clip on "Russian Precision Bombing"? I wonder if they cleaned up the parking lots of the buildings they were trying to hit. :)


Well with the Russians and Iranians just getting going I am sure there will be puh-lenty in the near future.


Russian missiles hitting the wrong country... Russian AF missing targets... an Iranian general getting the dirt nap courtesy of ISIS ... things aren't getting off on the right foot. They better tighten up.

The measure "nautical mile" is the length of arc of the Earth's surface that one actually travels when going a straight-line mile on a map. It is irrelevant whether that happens in a boat, an airplane or hopping along on a pogo stick.

A lot of things are 'irrelevant' at this point.

Typical, always wait for someone else to task things through.

Russian missiles scared US out of Persian Gulf


I think the US did not want their premier weapons platform to be humiliated by Russia the way the USS Donald Cook was. US weapons are costly and look fearsome, but it may be more bark than bite. Earlier this year, the USS Theodore Roosevelt was part of a training operation in which a French submarine, the Saphir, took part as the "enemy." In an incident that has been since hushed up, the Saphir was able to evade the US' ASW assets, penetrate the battle group, and "sink" not only the USS Theodore Roosevelt but some of the escorts, all by itself!

Betcha that the problem here is that they neglected to use premium gas.
Along with the regular interval launch sequence the noisy and smoky phase was replaced by something that looked like a fast receding 'star'. I have to assume that was when the 'ram jet engines' had enough speed to crank over and ignite, 'cruise control' if you will.

DB, I have to assume a night out on the town will also be included for our (now) overworked Mod. How expensive can that get these days, $20/person? (drinks included)
