'We will not hesitate to defend ourselves':

US military refuses to be cowed after Russia threatens to target every coalition plane or drone it finds west of the River Euphrates in Syria

The US has said its troops will defend themselves from Russian attack in Syria

That came after Russia said it would target US aircraft west of the Euphrates

Moscow was furious after the US shot down Russia-backed Syrian military plane

That happened Sunday, after the Syrian plane dropped bombs near US allies

Captain Jeff Davis said US and coalition air operations would continue in Syria

Russia claimed to have cut off a flight co-ordination line with the US

Davis said as far as he was concerned, communication continues with Moscow

The current case of Otto Warmbier provides what I see as an example of face-saving mindset.

During his stay at the Yanggakdo International Hotel in Pyongyang, Warmbier allegedly stole a propaganda sign from a staff-only floor of the hotel.[19] The poster said, “Let’s arm ourselves strongly with Kim Jong-il’s patriotism!”. Harming such items with the name or image of a North Korean leader is considered a serious crime by the government.[20]

Kid ended up dead over loss of face.

“Personally, I think Trump should STAY OUT of Syria. It’s lose-lose, an between Assad and more Jihadis, I choose Assad”

Agreed. This is the perpetuation of Obamunist foreign policy of national and regional destabilization.

I’m not pleased that Jared Kushner is enroute to this CF.

“MBA Generals”

Ah yes. Col. Hackworth’s perfumed princes. The ones who have rubberstamped ‘transgender’ personnel and prosecuted a US soldier for stopping pedophilic rape by our “allies”.

Quisling paper pushers.

“It is to decimate and end the Islamic State.”

The neocons, the House of Saud and other ME masters applaud you for your proper humility, obeisance and correct recitation.

“Are you loyal to the US or another power?”

Is the slobbering fedbeast loyal to the US or other powers?

I take that as your declaration of support for the Islamic State.

Why?

Why?

I have no idea why you are a submissive proponent of old Obamunist policies.

And...the circus continues in Congress over the laughable assertion that Trump is a stooge of Putin. We could be on the brink of WWIII and the Dummies (including McCain) would still not stop beating this horse.

LOL. Took me a few seconds to get what you were on about. Sure, let's turn that argument over to the neocons in the Democratic party who want worsened relations with Russia.

And we have Turkey and Iran in there too. Good God. Which is the same way I feel about the Iran-Saudi-Yemen nexus. Frack them all. Reminds of WWI. Stupid European assholes got themselves plunged into the dark ages, and the US had to be the one to come and clean all that shit up.

I have no interest in Syria. No interest in Turkey. None at all with the Saudis, except the stupid SOBs need us to pump their oil.

We need an Ayn Rand to explain it all. “Bomb the shit out of them or go home - no in between.”

It’s coming whether people believe it or not.

Can’t say when, exactly. But there are a lot of disconcerting pieces.

no one knows but the Father, but I must say as all things are cycles such as alpha omega when all this happens we can forfeit our earth lives and lay down our lives for christ, or we can start the cycle again by choosing to be a world at war..
can’t lay down as the lion with the lamb without being brutalized, can’t kill everyone and have a soul...new cycle is the way of the Lord

[can’t kill everyone]

I don’t think anyone here is suggesting that.

"Russia threatens to target every coalition plane or drone it finds west of Euphrates in Syria"

"...threatens to target?" Okay. Whatever.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric
