“Hard to imagine Putin getting stupid with his only aircraft carrier...”
Which is why I think its a “decoy”. “Go ahead, take it out. See what happens”...type of move. Maybe a dare? I doubt if the Russians even need this flattop.
My perception of this vague source is that these "orders" to shoot down Russians come from the ROE. Doesn't mean it is going to happen, but RAF leadership must define the parameters for their positions pilots to engage Russians if things go sideways.
People need to forget the notion that the Russians are fighting terrorism. The Russians are propping up the Assad regime, that is their sole concern. If there was a group of militant nuns threatening Assad, the Russians would bomb them. ISIS forces facing east probably get a lot less attention than those facing west.
20 minute segment, pretty good analysis.
Obama hates the West that much? Figures.
And if nothing happens, Russian TV will show pictures of an “armada” transitting the English Channel. Putin benefits either way.
Hear! Hear!
People who talk about setting up no fly zones and now this forget that Syria is a sovereign nation. How all these liberals that hate war can vote for Hillary and these warmongers is beyond me.
I would think it is more likely that Western jets would be shot down by Russian anti-aircraft batteries than Russian fighters unless the Brits and Americans fire first on the Russian jets.
I didn't think the Brits were that stupid.
Day-am.
Anything to keep TPTB in power.
I guess even obama quailed at the thought, so we’ll ‘let’ the Royals drag us in to a world war.
That sounds about right. Regime change which we seem to be supporting, has proven over and over again to be very counterproductive. The Rooskies are supporting Assad and frankly scarlet...
What’s really disturbing is how the MSM won’t cover this crisis because it confirms the failure of Obama/Clinton foreign policy. Worrying about the Russians is “eighties thinking “ you know.
ATTACK WORLD POWERS
Quit fighting stupid wars, Iraq, Afganistan?
Send the U.S. Military to destroy Rothchild, Central Banks, Davos, Bilderberg, Warburg, Goldman Sachs, Ford, Rockefeller, Citi.
Those are America’s enemy. They sell useless debt.
Cruise missle them. Try then shoot them.
Needs to be repeated.
Russia has, for a couple of decades, realized that the destabilization of the Middle East and North Africa is not such a good idea, and for years (until recently), went along with UN and Security Council agendas to (supposedly) address those problems.
Turns out that the Russians aren't the ones purchased or intimidated by the Saudi's or HomoFascista Globalists.
I’m pleased they are propping up Assad. Every alternative is a Sunni jihadi theocracy. Unless you believe the bedtime story about vetted moderate opposition of course.
All the rebels are head choppers.
The analysis is pretty good, I agree. One point I think he misses is that US dominance and universalism lead to internal US corruption and the “globalist” move. That is what has led to internal dissension and inability to establish a coherent foreign policy.
Cool music to accompany History Repeating
Enjoy it while you can
