Now that's a war room! Inside Russia's fortified triple-decker operations base...
The Daily Mail ^ | 23 November 2015 | TOM WYKE

Russia's strongman Vladimir Putin has been overseeing the daily airstrikes in Syria from a colossal three-floor war room in Moscow.

Long rows of identical desks and computer terminals are crammed into the enormous space, filling up three floors with analysts monitoring activities in the conflict zone.

Sitting at a desk on the central level of the first floor, the Russian President can be seen observing every detail. Putin is surrounded by his trusted military advisers, who have been working hard to shore up the Assad regime in Syria.

That is really not a credible picture. That is an ops center staffed by automata for PR purposes. An American ops center is littered in paper, coffee cups and real people looking like they are working the 12 hr shifts on top of their normal staff duties that they really work. And they are in battle fatigues because they are there to get work done, not show off for international television.

While that may be the case, the Russians are bombing the crap out of the terrorists. So... whatever the real 'situation room' looks like, it is working well.

Well done. I see the captain’s pic
on the side screen, too. As for watering,
the Tree of Liberty needs watering, too.

The Russians need to copy this for their mission control room for their space program. It would be a huge improvement over what they use now.

Not so unusual. No doubt they got the dreaded email detailing workspace cleaning and dress code for VIP visits. And I’m sure they hated it as much as our staff does.

I bet they couldn’t wait the VIPs to leave and for those bright lights to be turned back down.

FIGHTER PILOTS BLAST OBAMA: 75% of their ISIS Targets Get Blocked
Wounded American Warrior ^ | 11/21/2015
Posted on 11/23/2015, 7:33:24 PM by Beave Meister

(Conservative Post ) U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic state in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress.

Strikes against the Islamic state (also known as ISIS or ISIL) targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage, according to Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

The policy is being blamed for allowing Islamic state militants to gain strength across Iraq and continue waging terrorist strikes throughout the region and beyond, according to Royce and former military leaders who spoke Wednesday about flaws in the U.S. campaign to combat the Islamic State.

You went 12 full months while ISIS was on the march without the U.S. using that air power and now as the pilots come back to talk to us they say three-quarters of our ordnance we can’t drop, we can’t get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us,” Royce said. “I don’t understand this strategy at all because this is what has allowed ISIS the advantage and ability to recruit.”

Look at the picture! Where is the diversity? No women, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, gays (well hard to tell), transvestites, etc. Obama will have to ignore ISIS and start more double super secret sanctions on Russia because of this.
