It’s amazing how groups of jihadists from places like Libya and Afghanistan can, with more than a little help from Hillary Clinton, create a “civil” war in Syria, ain’t it?

Since it wasn't the Libyan and Afghan dukhai who made those big bucks donations to the Clinton Foundation, it looks like the Syrian Civil War jihadis are just hired help, just like Hillary was. So the next step is to follow the money- and see *who benefits.*

You aware of just how serious the Russians were about keeping the Israelis from shelling or occupying Damascus during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War? Serious enough for the Israelis to kill 34 Americans, and for LBJ to drop his plan to run for the presidency. The sub the Russians used was the K-172, under the command of Captain Nikolay Shashkov.

Yep. May you live in interesting times.

Not a happy anniversary, 27 years ago today.

Need picture of Russian and American troops shaking hands. Together we beat Hitler—ISIS should be a piece of cake in comparison.

Got a couple of me in Moscow during VDV Day party, but I don't think that's what you meant. But let me see if I can't do a little better than shaking hands. There was this Russian traffic control detatchment, which included female troops, medics, cooks, drivers and interpreters....
