Tsar Bomba fireball heat pulse burnt paint off of delivery plane and was only 50 Mt. Fire storm will occur everywhere line-of-sight for 100 Mt.

"F-16 vs. MiG-29, maybe?"

There's no way that Mig intended to fire on the F-16. It still has one of the best radars and missile suites in the air. He would have seen the F-16 from 200 miles, at least.

This the Turk, Islamist PM trying to force NATO and the US to engage Russian forces in Syria.

He may have succeeded.

May God help us now...

Yeah, where is the confirmation?

This should be hitting every network if real.

"Screw Turkey, should have been kicked out of NATO years ago"

Hopefully it's not too late to do it tomorrow.

It's a clear overreaction.

That Mig had no designs on Turkey.

“If Turkey goes to war with Russia, we are at war with Russia because of the NATO agreement.”

Not if Turkey starts the shooting.

Which is a very different thing from our military having accurate information. It is quite likely they do.

I thought the Tsar Bomb was 100 MT - but I see the Reds purposely reduced its yield by half ... Oh, and I use that map often - usually right after the O-Hole makes another speech against guns.

"Oh, and Turkey has about 100 nuclear bombs."

Bullshit.

“...who built a 100 million dollar mosque in maryland.”

I drive past it all the time, it’s very impressive. But I wouldn’t want to live across the street from it.

I honestly would be happy if we packed every soldier’s bag and took them home along with every plane, tank, armored vehicle, and Humvee.

Let everybody kill each other over there. Who cares?

Let Russia kill all of the rebels, including ISIS, and I dont want one drop of blood spilled for America hating Ergoden

Turkey has no A-bombs. The USAF had some there that Turks may have a vote in our use of, and in which their aircraft may be involved in the delivery of, but the bombs are firmly in USA control at all times.

I’m sure it is impressive.

and just the beginning.

3 million, then 6 million, then 12 million and so on and so on.

they dont abort and kill each other like blacks do.

they multiply like rabbits and infest until the home is destroyed.

MIG29 is Assad. Russians have not deployed those old Migs

No need to interrogate a Russian- just present him with enough vodka and he’ll waterboard himself.

Oh yeah that’s right. Thanks for correcting me. I wonder, though if the invasion of their airspace makes it a defensive move.

Better read the fine print:

Turkey is one of five NATO member states which are part of the nuclear sharing policy of the alliance, together with Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. A total of 90 B61 nuclear bombs are hosted at the Incirlik Air Base, 40 of which are allocated for use by the Turkish Air Force in case of a nuclear conflict, but their use requires the approval of NATO.

Tell General Jack D. Ripper to stay on the decaf for now.

Obama and liberals have a wet dream of a world without the United States.

We have begun seeing what that world is going to look like.

Whether you dislike the islamists or the corrupt and dangerous Russians and Chinese, it doesn’t make any difference. There is a major conflict brewing, in my opinion.

For the last seven years, the world has seemed like the pre-WWII1930’s to me.
