Yahoo News ^ | 11/20/15 | Staff

More than 1,300 people, around two-thirds of them combatants, have been killed in Russian air strikes in Syria since Moscow's aerial campaign began on September 30, a monitor said Friday. The figure supplied by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is more that double the overall toll it gave in its last report on the Russian campaign three weeks ago. The Britain-based Observatory said it had documented 1,331 deaths in Russian air strikes, most of them of Islamic State group jihadists or other fighters.. It said 381 IS fighters had been killed, along with 547 militants from Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front and other rebel forces.

Since September on 1331 deaths? I don’t want to belittle death but that seems rather small from a group that consists of 1.8 billion Worldwide. To effectively save our country, we will be bombing for the next century.

“we will be bombing for the next century.” Little doubt about that. They can start with that damn soccer stadium where they all booed the moment of silence for those killed in Paris!

There will be a zero or two added to that total by Christmas I’d bet.

Here’s hoping anyway.

To effectively save our country, we need to recognize that Islam and Communism are both political systems that aim to take down the political system that made this Republic great. Then we start pushing them out of the public arena as we did with Communism in the 20s and 50s.

We need to apply Alinsky tactics against those two poisonous ideologies and those who practice them.

The dynamics and increased efficiency of counter-rotating props is pretty impressive.

Lots of “Russians killing BABIES!” and screaming mother videos popping up in the last few days. The muzzies (And some of the Soros Groups) are trying to ramp up a propaganda campaign against the Russian bombings.

PROBLEM:
The Russians aren’t Americans.
They could give a damn less about collateral damages.

The difference between bombing sand where they ain’t by the collateral damage wary Americans and French and bombing urban buildings where they are by the collateral damage is part of war Russians

To defeat barbarians, sometimes you have to become barbarian yourself. Just the way it is.

I was trying to point out that it was not limited to Japan although a good part of the damage in Europe was done by the RAF. Not like they didn't have justification.

What I desire for the actively hostile parts of the Islamic world goes beyond barbarity.
