Wondered if they put some of their S-300 / S-400 batteries there.
Hmmmmm....
That’s a great quote.
I hope it proves true in 2020 - a nice Trump landslide would go a long way toward restoring my faith in my fellow Americans.
The S-400s are in Syria, last I knew.
I am sure S-300s are at Kharg, but Saudi has a plethora of heavy and light air to ground weapons that could be fired from outside the range.
Sounds good. Sure would hate to see them send in an F-15S or such against that.
“a bunch of globalists in the U.S. government pissed away thousands of lives and trillions of dollars to protect Islamic royal families in some Third World dumps.”
Oh, bull. They didn’t piss away anything. Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan were all anti-Western Baathist’s and Al Qaeda-dominated countries. Attacking neighbors, destabilizing regions, supporting international terrorists and terrorist attacks to include 9-11 planning, funding and coordination from Afghanistan. And now they’re not doing that anymore. Why and how so? Because OBL and hundreds of other global Jihadi leaders are kinetically dead . Guess how it was done. Was it from D.C. politics? NeoCon talking points? Internet memes? News shows? Sternly-worded nightly commentaries? All BS perspectives from people who have no closer connection to geopolitical conditions than from watching television. Delusional.
So Iran is next. Boo hoo. If they didn’t play I’m-The-Global-Mahdi they wouldn’t get hurt and their countries broken.
As for not being Canadian -the shoe fits so wear it.
They have a homegrown/home built system that is a copy of the S-300 with the S-400 computers.
Be curious to see it in action.
Also, just tons of short range stuff.
Guess I’ll cancel my Kharg Island vacation then....
:)
Quite a coincidence that anti-Iran hawk John Bolton leaves office and a few days later the Iranians supposedly attack the Saudis. It seems to me that every time Pres. Trump attempts to pull back from our Middle East entanglements, something like this quickly ensues. I seem to recall a similar move towards disengagement right before the tanker attacks and seizures started. I suspect that somebody (or multiple somebodies) does not want us to leave the Middle East to stew in its own juices.
One of Russia's few exports is oil. Just sayin'...
That is correct...
So Russia would benefit as well...
Norway too for that matter...
But, Russia?
You are right.
Anyhow.
Keep your eyes on the Epstein stuff.
As it seems this time is being used to shut down all investigations on that front...
“Look, Iran”....
Of course!
After the last few years, anyone who doesn’t believe in a few conspiracy theory is insane.
Not a terrible idea. Russia and the US were allies against Nazism, why not against islamism?
I think the fear of that is one reason the MSM has been so diligent about poisoning the well...
“There is simply no way Iran could launch a score of cruise missiles at the Saudis undetected.”
Another possibility is that they were detected, but just not successfully stopped.
I want all FReepers to know.
That their hearts are being measured in this hour...
There is no way Russia would step into THAT brier patch. Islamists already have their great satan, and Russia has plenty of "stans" either inside of Russia or bordering her. They will not openly fight Islamists unless absolutely necessary, and not with the great satan.
Russia serves her own interest first, and then pursues anything that weakens or undermines the USA. Even when our interests align, like in Syria, they are loath to cooperate with us.
just more fake news from CNN based on “anonymous sources” ... who believes a word CNN says about ANYTHING anymore, anyway?
and why does CNN keep getting posted at FR as if they’re a legitimate source of actual news?
What I meant was, what if it was the deepstate saying “let’s you (the U.S.) and him (Russia) fight”.
World war, the U.S. vs Russia.
Don't care.
