Yes, but Russian doesn’t fly the MiG-29 now and one doesn’t just jump from one jet to another without an extensive check-pout program.

And so what, a F-22 would easily smack-down anyone flying a MiG-29.

US wins again

How so, with all the ground to air missiles the Russian's deployed.

Did you notice the 26 guided cruise missiles from Russian ships in the Caspian sea hit their targets in Syria, 900 miles away.

Did you notice our air craft carrier with 76 fighter a/c leaving the Mediterranean the following day.

Shortest air war ever

You got that right, and Putin won it. And good for us, he did.

If you notice, which you don't or won't, because you're one of Putin's Buttboys, Zero has persistently done nothing in Syria. Despite all his posturing, he's towed Putin's line ever since Assad started slaughtering Syrians and brought on the civil war that has comprehensively shattered what used to pass for a country. That doesn't make you an enemy of Obama. You're just a liar.

Indeed- possession is 9 points of the law. NATO, is a day late and a dollar short.

And they drag ‘We the people” down with them, all to finance the buying of votes and power. Under those circumstances I`d gladly support slip knot ‘leashes’ for all the Oligarch weasels, and I imagine many more of ‘We the people’ would too!

I agree -- Putin has no excuse for armed intervention everywhere, all the time. Naturally, there are always plenty of his supporters online, giving excuses for everything he does.

I know tons more about Putin being a bully than you do and have posted about it excessively here at FR.

Obama is an idiot. Putin is not.
Both are evil.

I want us to get out of Syria and let Putin clean it up. He has way more right to be there than we do in terms of Russian interests.
I know how much Putin hates Chechens and am sure he will get to Isis which is loaded with them.

Got it?

“Obama’s not got US troops in Syria, which is a good thing.”

An even better thing is that this administration’s jihadi proxies are being liquidated and routed in Syria while we heroically type.

All in all, civilization and Christendom owe thanks to and prayers on behalf of the Russian forces killing the jihadi friends of Obama, Soros, McCain, Kerry, and well... the dripping lot of blood feasting NWO types of the West.

The pedophiliac buggery by some of “our allies” continues to go unchecked, but at least the jihadi aggression is Syria is getting shredded, and that’s a start.

Not for going to war with Russians over muslims, but if they become aggressive, I hope the US and UK blow them out of the sky.

“As long as they leave the Jews alone we should stay out of Russia’s way.”

BUT the stupid deal Kerry made with Iran supposedly includes that if Israel strikes Iran, the U.S. will bomb Israel????

Where are they going to be based where a Russian cruise missile can't put them out of business?

Do you want to start WWIII with Putin who is more on our side than Obama?

In times past you wouldn’t have seen the borderline Anglophobia and ridiculous criticism of the British you are seeing tonight on here.

Putin loves the Chechens that have sided with him, such as the puppet leader of Chechnya; he uses Chechen thugs to do dirty work in contexts where he wants plausible deniability. And we’re agreed — both are evil. Putin’s action in Syria is in part to boost his domestic popularity, but in Syria itself he wants to pry Assad loose from Iran’s grip.

The Iranians have managed to dismantle or destabilize Arab regimes — a policy it shares with Zero — and jihad is jihad is jihad, so Iran has no problem supporting existing groups, recruiting Sunni, Shia, whomever, and thanks to Zero and Lurch, already have more money with which to do it. Iran is nearly contiguous all the way across to the Med; ISIS is an rogue entity that gets whatever it needs by whatever means it feels necessary, and has been allowed to operate until it has conflicted with Hizbollah.

Zero’s now got Putin into Syria; Pooty may be smart enough or not otherwise sufficiently motivated, to keep an eye on an exit plan. The earlier rumor of 150,000 Russia troops has now been denied. The Chinese are supposedly in country, which isn’t really a friendly move, since China’s got ties with Turkey.

And all this without Zero’s having put US boots on the ground, without thousands of fictional MANPADS from Libya, without any significant effort to train and equip Syrian rebels — if anything, Zero looks pretty good here, apart from having apparently sided with Russia the whole way (despite posturing to the contrary) and weakening the US reputation abroad.

Russia has paid putinista trolls all over the internet nowadays, and no i’m not joking look it up. The majority of Americans support the UK.

No, Christendom doesn’t. Putin is an atheist thug who plays gullible jackasses like a harp, or rather, gets them to (ahem) play themselves.

It could work the other way, do you really want to risk it?

Russia is doing what we should be doing, what have they ever done to us in the last 30 years, where's all the hate coming from?

Did I say Putin? No I did not. I said, the Russian military who are killing the jihadis. They are in physical danger while carrying the fight to the jihadists sponsored by Washington D.C., Ankara and Riyadh. Accordingly, intercessory prayers on their behalf while they preserve and defend innocent lives and the notion of national sovereignty are appropriate.
