RAF Tornados armed and dangerous: Tensions between Russia and UK escalate

DAILY STAR SUNDAY ^ | 11th October 2015 | John Ward

British and Nato pilots have been told to take the drastic action if they are fired on by Vladimir Putin’s air force during missions over Iraq.

The move comes after British ministers warned Russia had made the situation in the Middle East “much more dangerous”.

Senior defence sources say it is just a matter of time before our fighters are involved in a deadly confrontation with Russian jets.

[McGruff]

Who knew the Brits were in Syria.

London Calling ?

Nothing anywhere in any level of press US and International...sounds like trolling for traffic...

[Norm Lenhart]

You know folks, there really is/was no downside to electing lesser evil Republicans that work with Barry to arm terrorists. It can’t possibly have unforeseen consequences.

But thank GOD we didn’t elect principled people that would fight to have stopped this because we all know they are the problem and winning is everything. No matter what. It’s a lesser evil.

The Brits might still be a little pissed about Ruskie jets buzzing their coast.

[elhombrelibre]

Putin’s sycophants and catamites will be out in force to cheer on Putin’s killers, right McNutt?

[Zeneta]

Say what you will about the Brits.

But they still have their Queen on their currency.

[Sequoyah101]

No truer words spoken.

This is stupid and dangerous.

...if they are fired on by Vladimir Putin's air force during missions over Iraq.

[dfwgator]

And I live by the river.

[McGruff]

You've wanted a war with Russia. You may just get your wish.

[elhombrelibre]

Oh please. Russia is a joke. It’s a backward country ruled by a former KGB Colonel who has no legitimacy and no success outside of propaganda. Without nuclear weapons, Russia has an economy smaller than California, a shrinking population due to abortion, drugs, and alcohol abuse, and a corrupt clique of largely former KGB thugs ruling a massive number of benighted, chauvinistic dolts.

[faithhopecharity]

and just what is the RAF doing flying in Syria???

[MarMema]

This is incredibly stupid and dangerous.

But hey war with Russia and China, what the heck. Should be fun.

Who knew the Brits were in Syria.

They're not, really...its an extension of their ineffective Iraqi ISIS mission called Operation Shader.

[MarMema]

Russian children speak fluent English at age ten. Ask the Chechens about the Russian military.

“Each missile costs £200,000...”

Pretty much Britain’s annual military spending, and not much below ours, if I’m not mistaken.

[BobL]

SICKENING to think that people want a war SO BADLY that they’d risk nuclear annihilation.

I’m starting to think he’s a troll - no CONSERVATIVE would have that mindset.
