Senior Russian Lawmaker: US STRIKE ON SYRIA COULD RESULT IN DIRECT CLASH WITH RUSSIA (Maybe)
Texas News Studio ^

Just noticed this site has more viewers than usual.

(quite a few more, actually)

This is a website which runs an ongoing news feed. It is a bit informal, I won't vouch for them, but then again I do check it occasionally, because they sometimes seem to be good about stories.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: uncertain
Seems to be, some concern about inadvertently initiating a conflict with Russia.

Just posting this. Use your judgement whether this is real news, or not.

Not the first time the Russians have been involved in direct clashes with other countries since the end of WWII. They were involved in air battles with the US over the skies of Korea and Vietnam. They fought air battles with Israel during the 1970 War of Attrition. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/israeli-air-force-taught-soviets-a-lesson-over-egypt/news-story/193f141c98c98d474c766fc80f8f887e It’s fairly well-known that the Russians fought the Chinese during the border conflict of 1969, during which Brezhnev is said to have asked Nixon whether he would object if Russia nuked China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict http://www.scmp.com/article/714064/nixon-intervention-saved-china-soviet-nuclear-attack Nixon’s pettiness and short-sightedness prevented the Russians from lancing the Chinese boil well before its current chancrous state. Talk about the road not taken.

Not that this is a scientific survey but I have yet to see anyone on any social media be “pro-syrian interference”

Not as fast as Russia. Their ruble just collapsed and Putin is a fascist.

We at least have Trump and are putting up a fight against our Deep State. And our economy is in WAY better shape than Russia's.

Part of the reason for Russia's antics is just that. Distract their people from their economic woes.

Well this site is interesting, but not always right.

I’m not sure.

Maybe everything is normal.

So Russia, Iran, Turkey have meeting in Turkey and next morning Syria uses chemical weapons. Israel hits an Iranian drone airport in Syria. Today we have the US, Britain, and France going against who? Russia, Iran, Turds, Syrians, al-qaeda, ISIS? Is all this to wipe out the Kurds?

where are our boots. Getting a serious headache. could be the bacon mushroom pizza I just had tho.

It seems the two options are a deliberately ineffective, for-show strike... and WW3.

Is video footage this morning on the Russian threat ... or in this case likely promise - too much face to lose and; they do need the sales of their military equipment to sustain their economy.
