(BEFORE IT'S NEWS) -- Is Barack Obama in his completely insane move of attempting to start World War 3 TRYING to get America and our Navy destroyed? Russia has just sent their most advanced anti-ship missiles to Syria in a clear warning that any attack against Syria will not go unanswered.
The New York Times quotes unnamed US officials as saying the missiles could be used to counter any potential future foreign military intervention in Syria.
The P-800 Oniks Russian П-800 Оникс; English Onyx, also known in export markets as Yakhont, English ruby or sapphire, is a Russian/Soviet supersonic anti-ship cruise missile developed by NPO Mashinostroyeniya as a ramjet version of P-80 Zubr. Its GRAU designation is 3M55. Development reportedly started in 1983, and by 2001 allowed the launch of the missile from land, sea, air and submarine. The missile has the NATO reporting codename SS-N-26. It is reportedly a replacement for the P-270 Moskit, but possibly also for the P-700 Granit. The P-800 was reportedly used as the basis for the joint Russian-Indian supersonic missile the BrahMos.
Crosslink, the major difference between us that in your case it is an opinion and in my case is experience. I fought two wars in this region and know more about their mentality and capabilities than you can imagine.
Have a great weekend.
It may backfire big time.
Obama will be responsible for any deaths that result. We have no business being there.
Thank you for your service and I stand corrected. I agree that Putin plays chess while Obama plays checkers.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
American leftists are so bent on crippling the US so they can take over.
These idiots forget there are more brutal players out there who would clean their clock.
Yes, idiots - they think they’re so smart but they’re total s-heads.
Just praying our military isn’t put in harm’s way by these idiots.
So maybe it was NOT a mistake when the Democrats put that picture of the Black Sea Fleet up as a backdrop at their convention!

Neo-Soviet Obama is our deadliest enemy in the world and wants to help his genocidal socialist allies Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama wants the US to become a second-rate country.
His regime must be destroyed!
We sit by and read the news, and do absolutely NOTHING, oh except type on FR......
What can we do?
Have to ask a question ... everyone remembers the flexibility issue .... Are we seeing the plan, the plan being right under our noses and we are continuing to search for what is taking place, trying to understand why and the plan has been in place for perhaps near a year (called flexibility) and we’ve all been duped again by both zer0 and putin? Yes there may be others involved in the plan. Maybe the saudis? Am actually attempting to not be confusing everyone. Could we be witnessing the ultimate in corporation, disguised as a set conflict while the leaders laugh as the pawns are destroyed?
Then there are the other wild cards. Those are too numerous to bring to the forefront but each of us knows there are numerous wild cards. This is beginning to look both like a card game and a game of chess.
Putin just kicked the scrawny commie’s butt, and now they’re doing a victory lap.
Responsible? Yes. Pay for it? No.
You want to fight against the USA and kill Americans? Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and do it, then?
cross your heart and hope to die?
4Q2
Well in the card game you have winner and loser. In this situation there is a high probability that everyone will end up a loser.
Obama’s got more flexibility. Apparently he can bend through his own legs now, instead of just a simple bow.
What a shame of a POTUS. Can you imagine if he were a Republican?
We have McCain.
Full Agreement. This is moving so fast am unable to keep up. Something else is afoot though or so says my gut. The truth being right there in front of each of us.
We’ve had our own. Don’t forget about the USS Stark....and Cole.
