I just like to remind him that he’s not fooling anyone here.

*And* that we’re not about to forget.

Baloney. Assad, by Middle East standards, is the one whom we should be supporting. He protected the Christians and other minorities while our (McCain, Clinton etc.) Jihadi “allies” were killing anyone not bowing down to the Wahhabi, Salafist movement. The U.S. is in league with the Saudis and others in the Middle East who wish to destabilize any stable regime in the area not bowing down to this bizarre alliance.

I can only pray that there weren’t any Soviet troops/advisers also killed. Putin doesn’t put up with this crap.

A-10s, packing a terrific punch while low and slow.
We knew exactly whom we were bombing.
Washington is run by completely inept sociopaths.

Where’s Victoria Nuland? I would bet she’s involved.

Have you noticed that the neo-cons that surrounded Bush 2 are now fully behind Hilllary?

Not just defending

Conducting coordinated military operations
Daesh overran the syrian base after the bombing and butchered the survivors

Daesh has an Air Force - ours

Pullback a curtain or two and I’d bet Victoria is very much involved with Syria.

Nuland, McCain, some other senators and the usual suspects pride themselves at prodding Putin
It’s all a game to them
War in the hands of a small cabal of ego driven people

But in this century the Russian propaganda is more reliable than our propaganda.

I hear that a lot, nowadays. It still mystifies me why FReepers blast MSNBC, CNN, et al., for bias yet are willing to give Russian state-owned media a pass. On the one side, outrage. On the other, excuses.

“If previously we had suspicions that Al-Nusra Front is protected this way, now, after today's airstrikes on the Syrian army we come to a really terrifying conclusion for the entire world: The White House is defending IS [Islamic State, formerly ISIS/ISIL]," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Rossiya 24.

“We demand a full and detailed explanation from Washington. That explanation must be given at the UN Security Council,”

“[US coalition] strikes have cleared the way for ISIS fighters to take over Deir ez-Zor city now,” confirmed Syrian Minister of Defense Fahd Jassem al-Freij. “It is only because of Russian Air Force support [that] the offensive of the terrorist group was stopped. We request that the air support for the Syrian armed forces be continued by the Russian air force in order to destroy the terrorists.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wakey, wakey, wakey, smell the bakey...

Newsflashes:

1. Brother Obrennan and his CIA run ISIS.
2. US SOF in Syria arm, train and provide intelligence to ISIS.
3. the USAF is now openly ISIS' Air Force.
4. Assassinating Assad and overthrowing Syria is still CIA Operation Arab Spring priority #1.
5. Syria borders Israel
6. Damascus is in Syria.

This is extremely serious.

Pour a Scotch and watch all 20 minutes of the immediate fallout.

How much more will Putin take?

Will he wait until the election?

Answer is simple - the Russians at least use their propaganda in ways that might as an offshoot help the West wake up and save itself, while American propaganda is specifically designed to promote the destruction of Western civilization.

The real question to examine is why the government’s in the West insist on a policy of committing suicide, while Russia at least attempts to strengthen itself against the enemies of civilization.
