“Russia, USA and China should team up and completely eliminate all islamo jihadi states. Put hardline secular dictators in to keep the 7th century morons in check.”

This is what the post-USSR world could have looked like. Peace through the threat of immediate vaporization.

I don’t think Russia would be doing this unless their calculations were that a first strike would go unanswered. Likely a good bet looking at Obama.

Only caveat about ‘clobbering them’ is likely as long as it wasn’t on Russian soil. They tend to be almost suicidal for that place, same as we would be here.

If Obama was commander in chief, we would lose.

Otherwise, who knows?

In 1939, France was more powerful than Germany on paper. They even had better tanks. The difference was tactics and the German soldier.

If Russia thought for a moment Obama was that stupid they would send a covert team that would snatch Obama probably from the golfcourse, and Biden. Next in line would have better common sense.

” they” were Syrian jets

Do you think Turkey and Syria never before violated each other’s air space?

The US is violating Assad’s airspace

There is no UN resolution or US declaration of war authorizing what the US is doing in Syria

Assad has not been charged or tried by any international,body
Why is obama authorized to kill him?

>>IF we took the gloves off we’d clobber them.<<

We may eat their lunch, but they will definately take a bite out of our sandwich. It would be ugly.

Yours is the best foreign policy idea I have seen in quite some time.

It’d be easy to see the results, since we’d all glow in the dark.

Unfortunately I can tell you that in all of our simulations we lose to Russia and China.

If we had a George Patton and charged him with ridding the world of ISIS in 48 hours and gave him the appropriate resources, he would get ‘er done. But, alas, today’s generals are nothing but politicians interested in their retirement and insuring that the proper number of queers and transgenders become members of Special Forces. I miss America.

But I don’t trust POS Obama to do what’s necessary to keep it from happening. The evil bastard wouldn’t care if we got hurt badly, anyway.
it would allow for a silent coup via buying the electoral college
