Nice war porn. I wish Ivan would load up some Bears or White Swans with dummy bombs and send it over Raqaa.

A strike like this for each Russian citizen killed. And then The French can do the same

The video of that jihadi spouting off for the camera right as he gets his head blown off by Putin is something to see.

Russia has been in the Mediterranean for years now with the Russian Navy in and out of Tartus, Syria.

The recent cruise missile strikes from the Mediterranean were from two Tu-160s. They flew down from the Barents, Norwegian Sea, Altantic Ocean (were intercepted by the UK Royal Air Force) and continued into the Mediterranean via the Gibraltar Strait. The returned to Russia via, Syria, Iraq and Iran. See video of the Tu-160s launching cruise missiles over the Mediterranean.

Notice that killing of “innocent civilians” is not mentioned at all the Russians seem to be able to only kill combatants. 600 dead and not one civilian.

The Muslim paradise is reportedly running short on virgins, and is now having to substitute with goats for the time being.

Iraq air strike likely killed four civilians, including child: U.S. military

A U.S. air strike that targeted an Islamic State checkpoint in Iraq in March likely killed four civilians, one of whom may have been a child, the U.S. military said on Friday in a rare statement acknowledging the death of civilians.

Exactly!

Most of the workers at a munitions plant are likely “civilian” — but, they aren’t “innocent civilians”.

For every “combatant” on the ISIL front lines; there are probably more than a dozen non-combatants acting in supporting roles. None of them are “innocent civilians”.

The only innocent civilians in close proximity of ISIL terrorists, are those being held against their will.

You don’t defeat a large-scale enemy without punishing the civilian population that they operate within too. See Nazi Germany and Japan. It’s no surprise that we haven’t won any wars since then, after we started worrying about “collateral damage” and “civilian casualties” and started pulling our punches.

600 still sounds like a minimal bang for the ruble.

Do I hear 6,000?

Evil people grow up in a culture that either encourages them or doesn’t do enough to discourage them. And if their civilization is that dysfunctional that they produce evil people, they aren’t going to change until they’re punished severely for it.

600 in one strike...? Compared to President Gilligan that sounds pretty good to me.
