So Putin called the U.S. bluff on Syria...

Post by terra »

... And no one here is saying anything about it?

This topic should already be up to 4 pages by now.

The US has been swirling and swirling around helplessly in the toilet eddy for quite sometime and is ready to go down that big hole at the bottom. We surrender because Obama says it's the right thing to do.

I fervently hope that Putin bombs ISIS and then all the terrorists in Russia start attacking him back, sucking them into a bottomless suck of suck.

The attacks, according to state-run television, occurred north of Homs and into Hama Province.

But they appear to have hit areas controlled by rival insurgent groups that oppose both Mr. Assad and the Islamic State, according to one rebel commander in Hama Province, Jamil al-Saleh. His group, the Izza Gathering, is one of the remaining fragments of the loosely-knit Free Syrian Army, relatively secular groups that have received some Western support.

Apparently, Putin has started, not by bombing ISIS, but instead, non-Islamist allies of the West that oppose Assad.

Obama has to be very careful now not to say anything that might offend Putin.

He's definitely there to prop up Assad and stick a finger in the eye the "good" rebels. He also brought over anti-aircraft weaponry. Who is that for?

So now the Saudis will start throwing arms and money at the "moderate" rebels. Eventually ISIS will get into the shooting with the Russians, who have a big islamic radical population in their own borders. I am voting for them getting mired into the whole mess, with terrorism back home.

Andy, you think we should invade Syria?

That's already going on. Question is, do we recall johno and bats and our USMC and legionnaire contingent to get some bip-boom-bap going on on the ground?

Andrew, you'd be better served by getting Pappy and Bolt back together. There's nothing on this earth that can stop a seriously good-looking motivated team of extreme parkour athletes doing crazy flips and shit in the name of truth, justice, and the goddamn American-fuckin'-way. A round-off into a double-back tuck with a perfect stuck landing on some jihadi's dome would send a message that finally America isn't playin'.

nafod, sure nuf, Bats, Johno, TOM and then there's Sue Spont. Darth and Fuhrman can round up a gang of mercs with knives and shit for H2H while Bolt and Pappy come out of the woodwork with some back/front flips in the faces of those bastardly putin whores. And when a few divisions of US Army,Navy, and Marines show up, Syria will be swimmin' in the shit of Assad while HE runs up the white flag sayin' "I'm sorry" while Putin is running back to Moscow with tail between legs and pants full of shit.

Next stop Iran.

Putin's an asshole but he is about to show us how to kill Jawas and give not a fuck. He's already got Jawa problems and addresses them better than we do, he fucking kills them and gives not a shit if anyone standing next to them dies too.

Good, let him set new standards and maybe the next POTUS will show bush and Obama how you stop playing with your dick and get in there and pound a bitch out.

I just hope with us sticking our nose in Ukraine and this shit we don;t end up having WW3 with the Russians and ending civilisation when the 2 of us should be ending Jawa civilisation.

Yeah, the whole concept of addressing the fact that our opponent and enemy, Putin....and make no mistake he is our opponent/enemy, is owning our own POTUS with ease, is somehow gay or that one is lauding him somehow is utterly laughable and sad. Putin is a very dangerous leader....he brings a shit ton of cocky and pride in his motherland. And that's not congruent with our way of life. To not recognize it is to shove your head in the sand.

Wait and see what happens when the Russians start gunning down our drones.

Russia is a petro-economy and it sucks nuts. Their economy is actually shrinking right now. Economic penalties and cheap energy from fracking are doing plenty o' damage.

Putin, Syria and Iran are aligned and will control Iraq after ISIS is wiped out.

Putin is bombing anti-Assad "moderates," who we've tried miserably to harness, but he has a good argument on his side: a stable Syria solves Europe's refugee problem and is better than a destabilized Syria (see, Iraq & Libya).

I respect your opinion regarding this topic. Question:

I see ISIS mostly as a savage, media-savvy, youth gang, more so than a legit, religious movement. (Assume you don't have to agree with their cause to call it 'legit'.)

I interpret Terry's 'wiped out' as marginalizing them. Do you think we're going to see them continue to grow in power?

Russia doesn't have the resources. It's a bandit state.

And as such, they can barter for or steal whatever they don't have.
