There's a direct quote of Dunford in this article where he says it would require going to war with Syria and Russia to impose a no-fly zone.

Both Clinton and Trump have supported no-fly and/or no-go zones in Syria in the past and they should both be asked about in about 25 hours.

Iran is also an ally of Syrian and Russian and involved in the war. So war with Iran, too.
And probably with some of the former Republics that would ally with Russia. Chechnya has thousands of special forces fighting in Syria.
China if taking sides would probably side with Russia, who is taking care of Chinese Uighur muslims fighting with IS and al Qaeda in Syria

Sometimes it’s funny to read the Russian spin on things.

At least the price of oil will go back up. Makes you wonder what everyone’s motives are.

This would be GREAT to pin on Hillary tomorrow. I have heard multiple democrats and a few GOPe (McCain, Linda Graham) insist we impose a No Fly Zone.

Ask her if she is for one, and then spring this General’s quote on her!

Game, Match, Set!

I’m not afraid of the Russians and even if they ally with Iran and China—we could have peace on the other side of war; however, that means we go to war only when we must, and more importantly, on our terms, when we’re ready.

Now we are NOT ready.

Let me explain Aleppo for those of you in Loma Linda. Aleppo is in Syria. Syria is governed by its elected leader ,Assad. There are a group of insurgents supported by ISIS. The Syrian Army is fighting these outlaws. The sovereign Syrians called in and invited Russia to assist in their killing of ISIS and their friends. . This wrecked the plans of the globalist and the McCain heads and they are very frustrated because Assad is just kicking the crap out of the outlaws in Aleppo and it is frustrating the one world new world order folks, So they want to take your money ( or print some more to devaluate your money) and use your children to go kill the Russians. ABSOLUTE MADNESS!!

Syria is a soverign nation that the US is not at war with

The US is at war with Islamic terrorism, al-qaeda and ISIS which are all one and the same

The only valid reason the US has for going to war with Syria is that Syria is collaborating with al-qaeda/ISIS in the Islamic Jihad

Syria WAS doing this during the Iraq insurgency but now Syria is at war with ISIS/ al -Qeada not that the ex Iraqi insurgents are trying to take over Syria with the help of Obama and Hillary Clinton's Arab Spring coup team

We should be on the side of Syria and Russia but Obama is abusing an obsolete CIA program intended to defeat the al-Qeada insurgents using Syria as a safe haven and Obama is now using that CIA program to provide aid and comfort to the al-Qeada / ISIS the program was originally intended to destroy

We live in Bizzro world because President Obama figured out that if he could re name the defeated al-Qaeda forces in Syria as Syrian ISIS rebels , he could have the CIA turn their coats and arm, train, supply and equip the defeated al-Qaeda forces that retreated to Syria and get away with it legally and openly

this is likely the establishment’s staging of a US v Russia military conflict for the sole purpose of canceling the Nov 8 election. Wars are what the ruling establishment does to ensure their hold on power.

Re: Russia Today (RT)

"RT [Russia Today] has been called a propaganda outlet for the Russian government[10][11][12] and its foreign policy[10][11][13][14] by former Russian officials[15] and by news reporters,[16] including former RT reporters.[17][18][19]

It has also been accused of spreading disinformation.[20][21][22]

The United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has threatened RT with sanctions because of repeated violations of its rules on impartiality.[23]

The network states that it offers a 'Russian perspective' on global events.[24]"

War?

I wonder if Congress has a Constitutional role in such matters.

““Not only our people – our defense industry partners, too, need stability and longer-term plans to be as efficient and cutting-edge as we need them to be,” Carter told the senators.”

Well sure... we need defense contractors to have a stable and long term environment. Un-freakin-believable.

And Dunford the nutty Marine general is right. We can’t share intel. They support Assad, and our effort entire effort is about removing Assad. Isis and Al Nusra and all the rebels were created by us to remove Assad.

Speaking to the US Senate, the Pentagon’s leaders blamed Russia for the Aleppo aid convoy attack, but admitted they “had no facts.”

Impressive testimony. Now GTFO of Syria.

Obama’s Middle East war crimes continue. Has he asked Congressional permission to do any of the military actions that he has ordered?

Drudge headlining “WAR DRUMS OVER SYRIA”

The US *IS* trying to start a war...the CIA is very unhappy: no Syria victory, Jeb’s gone, Hitlery is about to die, the People are awake, and Trump is weeks away from President Trump.

Ahole. YOu don’t have to “go to war” with Syria or Russia re a “No Fly Zone”. Just shoot down the first five planes that violate it and ask the Russians (screw the Syrian butchers), “You just lost 5 trained pilots and about 100 Million Dollars or more worth of planes. Do you want to lose many more or will you back off?”.

Also, take out any Russian checkpoint that stops humanitarian supplies from getting into Aleppo and other cities under siege.

Call it payback for the slaughter of unarmed medical personnel and their helpers in the convoys that either the Syrians or Russian wiped out last week, as well as for the hospitals and medical supply warehouses they bombed.

If Putin isn’t insane, he will respect our will and our position to enforce a “No Fly zone”. If he is insane, then we should send Stinger missiles to the Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic States and trusted Syrian resistance forces.

The Stinger was the weapon that defeated the Russian in Afghanistan, shooting down an unconfirmed 60 Soviet aircraft from helicopters to transports to fighter-bombers, killing dozens of experience Soviet pilots and crewmen, and costing them billions in air losses.

Ask the Spetnaz what happened to them once they lost their air cover. It wasn’t pretty.

Let’s see if we can blunder into a major war in a place that we didn’t know was vital, over an issue so murky that none of us can figure out who we are backing, or why we are involved there in the first place.
