Monitoring a lot of different news stories as this plays out in real time. Amazing how little info is coming from official Western sources so everything is underground and foreign.

Russian sub hunters now operating off the coast of Syria, so this isn’t over yet.

Let’s hope it was not the US, and let’s also hope it does not kill Russians.


Already killed 200-300 in a skirmish back in Feb.

Arm chair quarterbacking must give a lot of people some sort of personal gratification - don’t wear out the worry beads...

Some books I read awhile back by a Victor Ostrov I think. First one in the set is called By Way of Deception. Fascinating.

Now leaning toward 2 Israeli F-15 over Lebanon launching 8 missiles, 5 of which were downed by S-200 systems. US Intel collection planes (Joint-Rivet) moving into region now that air defenses are on alert for future planning.

The notion of gas attacks in Syria is jihadist propaganda.

Its all made up stuff by the Al Qaeda fighters opposing Assad’s government funded by Saudi Arabia.

Sounds like a retarded liberal that uses the word ‘neocon’. I bet using made up words makes you think you sound smart.

“Yes, who is going to replace him-someone worse!”

the real problem is not WHO is going to replace him, but that there is no one that will replace him. the same thing would happen in Syria that happened in Libya when Obama and Hillary took out Muammar Gaddafi in 2011: namely, a failed country filled with chaos.

Or perhaps calling a spade a spade, as I didn’t make up the term.

Folks on this thread are having meltdowns over the possibilities.

The clock is getting pretty close to midnight I’d say.

I’ve never seen Israel or Netanyahu operate in such a manner.

If they sound like retarded liberals its probably because they are. And they do think it makes them sound smart.

This thread illustrates perfectly how pathetic this forum has become. Three or four of the most prolific posters are either paid agent provocateurs or dimwits. They’ll spout off terms like “neocon”, “GOPE” or “cuckservative” like they know their meaning.

Typical liberals that say not to label or name-call, yet, it is all they do.
