Bombing hospitals and getting their jets splashed by Turks is no way to win a war. lol
What do you mean, 'it' even got a few as it was falling in pieces. No RIP for the dead pilot but an icy road victim will get a street named after him if he was well liked.

The Americans did that a few weeks ago.

No, sorry, the Yanks here are enraged that Putin and the Russians are making Obama and the Americans look weak and impotent against ISIS - which, of course, you are.

As things stand, the Russians will be the ones who will defeat ISIS.

The Russians have been doing it non stop. How far have the SAA advanced? A few miles forward here and there... a few miles backward here and there. The only way the Russians have a chance is if their troops go in. The Russian air campaign is ineffective.

We all know that it will be the Russians who win this and that you Yanks are weak and impotent thanks to Hussein Obama.

ISIS and now the Turks are making Putin and the Russians look weak and ineffective.

So... you don't like the Turks because they kicked the Briddish arses in WWI eh?

As things stand, the Russians will be the ones who will defeat ISIS.

Any idea when that will happen? lol

Would that include Iranian translators? . . . or just **** it and let them go in as the stabilization force. Security quiz, 'Ali Baba' real or imagined? NATO tools would probably say 'real, definitely real, I met him myself.'

Iranians? Are they still in Syria? Last I heard the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was refusing to fight. They are better suited to shooting Iranian protesters than fighting in an actual war it would seem.

Yeah the Turks are pretty messed up. But how they bested the Russians has to be an eye opener for the Russian AF.
The Turks have always been tough. Not super-skilled, but tough.

Back in the day, they used to like to send a couple of F-84s out over the Black Sea, heading for the USSR. After a while, the Soviets would paint 'em, and scramble a couple of MiG-23s to intercept. The Turks had it figured out exactly where they needed to turn to get back to Turkey before the Floggers caught up. They'd get right down on the deck and beat feet for Turkey, with the Floggers in hot pursuit. They'd get to Turkey and pop up over the cliffs on the north shore. Half the time the Floggers would follow, into Turkish airspace, and find. . .

Half the Turkish Air Force waiting for them.

They never shot the Sovs down, but they loved scaring the hell out of 'em.

Heh. Looks like Blackleaf has joined the Putin Fanboy Club.

Well, he's in good company (for him). I'm sure Blackleaf, Boomster, darkbeaver, and MHz will have fun sitting around mooning over Putin.

Time to clear up the mess.


All of our planes are accounted for. lol

So because you have lost no planes and the Russians have lost one (wrongly shot down in Syrian airspace by the Turks rather than by ISIS) that proves that somehow the Americans are being more effective against ISIS than the Russians are?

I'll repeat: the Russians are showing the world that they mean business against ISIS and it is they who will defeat them, whilst you Yanks are showing to the world that you are led by a Muslim president who is weak and indecisive and impotent in the war against ISIS.

You are quite salty this morning. Do you have a feeling you backed the wrong horse?

I never back the wrong horse. I am ALWAYS on the side of right and commonsense. Always. That is why, in the fight between Russia and ISIS, I support Russia,


The Turks whipped you.


So it's a myth that the British defeated the Turks during the Great War, occupied Constantinople (now Istanbul) and brought the Ottoman Empire to an end?

Heh. Looks like Blackleaf has joined the Putin Fanboy Club.

There's one simple difference between me and you when it comes to the war betwen Russia and ISIS. It's so simple that it can be simply described thus:

In the war between Russia and ISIS, I support Russia. You don't.
