“When our planes return with their bombs, maybe our rules of engagement are too tight.”
I believe that the Russian “rules of engagement” are very simple: Kill all enemies as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The advantage of tactical nuclear is that they kill the terrorists, but leave the structures and equipment in place.
Me too. Once that cat is out of the bag there is nothing but terror in store for modern civilization.
If they need more perhaps we can unload a few dozen MOABs’ for a good price.
“whom U.S. has been trying to wipe off the face of the earth for over a year with little to no success.”
Obama has been doing no such thing. His ROE for our pilots are so stringent that it often takes more than an hour to get permission to attack a target. Putin’s air force drop more bombs in a say than out pilots are allowed to drop in a month.
Haha! Exactly!
Snopes has the story on that B-52 on board CVN-68 USS Nimitz. Quite an interservice logistical achievement, and necessary at the time.
Back to topic, we have a totally feckless POTUS.
Fuel-air bombs were last used by his nonfeckless predecessor.
See that antenna mast sticking above the island? I used to work on antennas up there on the Saratoga, CVA 60. Look at the left wingtip on the B-52, I used to sleep in a compartment on the 01 deck, just underneath the catapult on the port side of the Saratoga. We were in one storm that had spray from the waves coming over the flight deck.
That is totally irresponsible talk by intelligence agents. It suggests a possibility to the Russians that the Americans engineered the plane destruction, whether real or propaganda.
Take away their water. No nukes needed. FAEs not needed either.
Yes they do. See my post number 68 here.
“Yeah! Let’s you and him fight!
I’ll be leading from over here.”

More like bummer & crew realizes Russia is showing us and the world just what he's really been up and NOT doing - who's been arming up the enemy, etc - and see the world cheering Russia on....so they're going to try and make it look like they have a hand in fighting the right side too...and try to take credit for it -
They're trying to impose a 'no fly' over Syria - which would protect their ISIS/"Moderate Islamist Terrorists" - saying "Russia has no right to tell US where we can fly!"
We're not supposed to know that the WE have no right to impose a no fly zone, where only WE can fly, over a SOVEREIGN country.
Russia is there by the invitation of the lawful leader of the country. We would NOT be. (the nations of the world have so determined in the UN...not that I have one whit of respect for the UN, but this is no time for bummer to fly in it's face.)
“”Gee, I wonder why the US, with the most powerful military the world has ever seen, Just can’t get it done?””
Maybe because obozo is sending our military to Iceland to fight ISIS. After all, in his speechifying at Arlington today, he had our military “fighting on the beaches in Europe.” What a despicable display showing how ignorant he is of our history. OK, maybe a few beaches at Normandy but come on - really? Nearly as bad as the head of the VA brown-nosing the CIC at a ceremony like todays.. I think if I’d been the CEO of Proctor and Gamble and was appointed by this clown to a post like the VA, I’d be brown-nosing too...I think he used up 15 minutes of his time naming every person who was in the crowd. He had the CIC walking on water for sure.
