I don’t like this...Barky is trying his hardest to get into a war with Russia, and to end America all at the same time...

I hope Putin and Trump are talking, we don’t need Russia taking us on, we have to take out Barky to take out the BLM and Black Movement first...

Heaven Help Us!!!

The ONLY WAY that aircraft went down was with US weapons. It is SICKENING that we have to have a president so hell-bent on starting a war with Russia. And for what?

Boston radio WBZ just announced the shootdown. No mention of TOW missile. “Helicopter, delivering supplies, ran out of ammunition”. ???

Keep in mind in the not-to-distant-future, we may be allies with the Russians in the fight to destroy the muslims.

A TOW shot down a helicopter? Must have been flying real low.

Maybe a blowpipe (British) or other type weapon.

But all the same, American weapons being used to shoot down
Russians, is insanity.

Fortunately we have a Nobel Peace Prize winner as president...

2500 helicopters shot down in Vietnam.

We need to get rid of these obsolete machines.

A few years back ISIS captured a large quantity of US made weapons from the Iraqi Army.

What do you think Benghazi was about?

Hussein Obama in Egypt, Libya, Syria: Has armed radical Muslim groups such as Al Qaeda to overthrow governments.

Why would a guy named Hussein lie and side with the Muslims. Because he said he would.
