Seem to remember someone else that was cheering when Americans were shot down.

“The only country in the Middle East claiming to have S-400’s is Algeria and there is no evidence for it.”

I guess you’re at the point of simply making things up now...

“Seem to remember someone else that was cheering when Americans were shot down.”

So that’s your angle. Guilt over Vietnam.

Sorry, but that doesn’t fly for me - I prefer to NOT get into a World War.

Those are Russian batteries not under Syrian control.

“a deliberate breach of international regulations, a French naval source said on Tuesday.”

A deliberate breach of international regulations...like attacking a nation without a UN authorization, like attacking another nation except in self defense? Like arming a terrorist organization to destabilize a government?

Laughable to hear this complaint about “international regulations”.

Thanks. Reagan also preferred to NOT start World War 3, but I don’t remember him being called a traitor because of it.

What world war with what equipment and troops?

The Russians simply don’t have it.

China might and soon but Russia is merely a Cold War flea market.

I appreciate you’re recognizing the Chinese threat...bummer that you fully understand what Russian nukes are capable of. I do, I’ve studied them.

Maybe so but he still protects the Christians in Damascus. Both are true. Grey reality.

No one here is cheering for Americans to be shot down.

We are just trying to keep Americans from being shot down for no good reason.

How much stock do you own in Lockheed, GE, Pratt & Whitney etc.?

I’ve studied them too.

They haven’t conducted a nuclear test in almost 30 years.

Their Cold War technicians have long since moved to countries that can pay them better than a shabby apartment and access to the GUM department store.

1. Qaddafi possessed chemical weapons;

2. Qaddafi was going to massacre his own people, he was a kind of “animal”

3. France, Britain, Saudi, Qatar were determined to topple Qaddafi

So put Trump in Obama’s shoes, there would have been the same decision.

Benghazi 9/11 was Obama’s hard luck, but it was still better than Bush’s Iraq.

Sympathy for the computer chip navigating the cruise missiles?

Qaddafi had given up his chemical weapons without Bush firing a shot.

Didn’t work out very well for him though.

So that’s enough for you to believe that their nukes won’t work, assuming the part about their techs even means anything.

Sorry, but that’s NOT enough for most Americans, and not enough for me, since I have kids.

Not another mind-reader on this thread, PLEASE.

Unless you have a link showing as much, and BEFORE we attacked him.

People forget—we could lose this new war with Russia and her allies! What if China gets involved? Putin could use this to invade Ukraine and seize Belarus. China could use it to seize Taiwan or blow up the Panama Canal. Iran could take out the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia (with the help of the Russians). We don’t have the same drive as we did 50 years ago. Russia could just release some anti-Trump propaganda and the Democrats would move to impeach him. We are too divided to put up much resistance. One terrorist nuke in Washington and New York and we would be finished.

So I take it that you have lots of stock in Raytheon too?
