The Putinista cheerleaders will be happy.

Just take out the airstrips.

As for unintended incidents, that’s a two way street Vlad.

Should have thought of that before now.

Bloomberg would have more credibility if they mentioned Su-27s and variants

I can see why Putin is as brazen as he is....look at what Iran did to the muslim in chief....look at what the Senate and the House gave Iran, the day before 9/11 (14th year anniversary of 9/11)

So I can see Putin and Europe to tell America to go to hell....why not, we have a ‘woman sissy’ in the White House, we have ‘gutless sissies’ in the Senate and House...and we have an administration that is chalk full of muslims....

And all those people who voted for the muslim in chief not only once but twice, I hope they can look in the mirror after yesterday.....

According to the new reports on our ISIS battle, people have been lying about our action in Syria.

We have done very little.

Russia probably knows this by what they have seen.

I would like to be a bug on the wall if Obozo does talk with them.

Obama is the world’s little bitch and he’s taking us with him.

What do you think those Migs are coming in for?

They’re there to make sure Israel doesn’t take out the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

I think that’s a compelling interest on our part, even if the Imam at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave disagrees.

Syria had never been a problem BEFORE OBAMA

They had a nice quiet little kingdom, you never heard about Assad committing atrocities or torturing opposition...

Then suddenly Obama says he has to go.

Find the deployment Mig-31 weird. It is interceptor designed to shoot down low flying bombers. The Su-25, NATO code name Frog Foot, is dedicated ground attack craft; the Ivan version of the A-10.

obama can do nothing.

Imagine the propaganda if one/two pilots or soldiers were capture by ISIS.

Drones is all obama has.

Putin has said Assad is ready to share power with healthy opposition. So, in other words, this thing may be able to come to a conclusion finally.

Looking at wikipedia, the Mig-31 can do the Wild Weasel anti-radar role and its radar can be used in the AWACS role.

So, whom is the US supporting vs. assad, and how do we determine whom they are.... and really... why? Except as yet another proxy war against soviets.

ISIS is our creation out of the “mcCain” moderate “rebels” who turn out to be yet another pretender to the caliphate... or... an extension of al-qaeda by another name.

This is so out of hand it is ridiculous. Would hate to be an operator on the ground there with CIA “support”. But it does support more military industrial product lines.

Assad: pro-Iranian, Pro-Russian, and has left Christians alone in the country.
Obamaumao: pro-Iranian (esp. nukes), pro-”rebels” aka ISIS, and pro-caliphate (stamped with the Saudi OK and a ticket to Mecca).
Brennan: a muslim convert from Roman (Irish) Catholicism.
Huma: a muslim brotherhood operative within State, and now with the BIll, Hill and Chelsea criminal foundation for self aggrandizement.

Ask yourself. Is Syria worth one American life?

Nature hates a vacuum.

One thing Putin has going for him is this quote from Caligula.

“Let them hate us, as long as they fear us.”

"Russia tells Washington: talk to us over Syria or risk 'unintended incidents'"

Might be that Russia already has what they wanted and needed from Obama: nuke and missile defense deals, etc. So even though the Commie-in-Chief basically shares the same 'new international order' aims with Moscow and the ChiComs (weaker US, stronger Russia and China), they're telling him 'get the blank out of the way, jerk, we don't need you anymore'.

It’s funny that Liberal Democrats argue that they want Assad gone but they wanted Saddam to stay.

This must be the concessions our expert team of negotiators got from Russia for the Iran deal /sarc

And item which may be of interest:

Back in February of this year, according to the NYTimes, Obama’s “white house” held a meeting on “countering extremism” in the US and abroad with the head of Russian Feberal Security Service [think KGB] but excluded the FBI’s James Comey. Sources say he was excluded because the administration didn’t want the meeting to be focused on - get this- “law enforcement issues.”
