That's extremely aggressive.

If things do not cool down quickly, then we may see the beginning of World War III.

No... they’re just saving face. They don’t want any part of us in any conventional war _especially_ in the air.

Of course, nobody wants any nukes.

We seek to start wars with white people while expensively trying to extinguish Wars between Muslim people.

The opposite is required.

Putin is testing Trump, just as he did with Obama. Obama chose to run and hide, Trump is going to weigh his options carefully, then retaliate.

Trump campaigned on staying out of war in Syria.

We shot down a plane of a sovereign country that was bombing it's enemies in it's own territory.

That's an act of war.

Territory which we have no legal right to be in.

WTH is going on?

Do like Rush says and ignore the media; they, including Beck, want a war with Russia to advance their globalist causes and to mask the Ukrainian treason Hitlery did with them and her foundation.

I can only hope a case is being made against Hitlery and her foundation behind the scenes that will dig a hole so deep she, Bill and Chelsea and Podesta will be buried for life. When no one expects it, the case will be brought forth - I can only hope. Maybe this is what Sessions and his team is working on, because we ain’t heard from them.

"...within 5 feet..."


Maverick and Goose did that upside down more than thirty years ago. ;-)

When China flies reconnaissance planes outside the US Navy base in San Diego while simultaneously conducting war games in Tijuana together with the Mexicans, the progressive- globalist war-mongers will then begin to understand the concept of national sovereignty

That’s very aggressive indeed, given that the Baltic Sea is right off the shore of Boston.

As soon as Russia invests the funds to project power worldwide, maybe that can happen. I’ve faced both Russian and Soviets where it counts, which leads me to ask why you’re so apologetic for them in your posting history?

The name has changed in Russia. The game has not comrade.

Isis is in Syria. Our forces are hunting ISIS. Could it be we shot down that plane because it endangered our forces? Could it be that we were not going to say the true reason as to why we shot down the plane so as to not give a hint as to the position of our operators?

Blame Bush II and Obama. Bush II did nothing when Putin muscled Georgia and started moves on Ukraine. OBama did nothing in the face of escalating aggression in Ukraine, Crimea and Syria. The scent of fear is an aphrodisiac to thugs like Putin.

“The scent of fear is an aphrodisiac to thugs like Putin.”

It was ever thus.

I am so glad to see others feeling the same way... I am buying the pipeline theory. See my last two posts for more info.

For whatever reason, Pres. Trump turned foreign policy, the military, and intelligence services over to the same Council on Foreign Relations/Goldman-Sachs pool that any RINO or Dem would. Has this olive branch to them helped him? He gets moderate SC justices in return?
