Russia intervenes in Syria

We have all the recipe for bad medicine.
Turkish F-16s getting locked up by some mysterious radar and fighters all over Syria bombing who knows.
This won't end well.
Putin does like to push the envelope and because he can hide behind his nuclear arsenal he knows he has a blank cheque to do whatever he wants in Syria or Ukraine or Crimea or wherever.
 
Agreed .... and Turkey should be, aggressively in this fight. No love lost on Russia in Turkish hearts.

It still baffles me how anyone can think that a few airstrikes here and there is going to stop ISIS...

*if* people were truly interested in stopping that hoarde of murderous douchebags, they would initiate a full-blown ground offensive by all nations...not just a cobbled-together UN approved expeditionary force, and scour the earth of their very existence.
 
Well, ISIS has up to 200,000 well armed, and most cases, well trained men.

They have a broad assortment of vehicles, from heavy automatic cannon mounted on Toyota trucks, to full-blown AFVs. They have proven that they have the ability to move rapidly and overwhelm defenses in many cases, yet for all of their abilities, they lack air power.

This is a ground force that could be engaged at ground level and once drawn out, cut to shreds by supporting air elements.

Poking at them with air assets alone is just playing a bigass game of "whack-a-mole".
 
Instead of making very expensive holes in the desert why arent the West and the former Communist countries trying to stop the flow of money that IS use to buy guns, ammo and pay the wages. Want to know why so many ex anti Assad fighters now fight for IS because they pay well.

Follow the money and shut down the flow and IS withers to core of crazies.
 
We need someone to put forward the conspiracy theory, about how the west is financially supporting these groups, so that they can test new weapons...anyone up for it?

Where have you been?

There's tons of conspiracy stories floating around...

ISIS is actually the Israeli mossad, ISIS is actually the CIA, ISIS is both the CIA and Mossad, ISIS is not real, but a media trick to make people think there's trouble in the middle east.

ISIS is funded by the U.S., ISIS is funded by the "Zionists", ISIS is funded by the world bank, ISIS is funded by the Rothschilds, Illuminati, Masons, etc. etc. etc.

And this is just a quick overview...
