Apparently Russia is not launching such a precision bombing campaign in Syria after all.

Putin does not care about civilian casualties.
That is why he is going to smash ISIS.

[DaxtonBrown]

If I were a ruthless Russian, I’d clean out my stockpile of dumb bombs left from WWII first.

[DungeonMaster]

Dumb bombs beats a dumb president.

Well there you go. No need for taxpayer dollars; they have their sugar daddy.

[Jewbacca]

I noted this yesterday just from watching the hits.

The Russians do have fairly able PGB, but don’t have the budget or the need to use them.

They want EVERYONE to die and to break their spirit.

It’s actually a far more effective bombing strategy that pinpoint hits, if you can take the political heat and don’t have a soul.

So these are the JV bombs?

[MeganC]

The video I saw on TV this morning showed the Russians using cluster bombs. The US uses the same kind of bombs so this faux outrage to me is just that, a faux outrage from the Obama camp that’s upset that the Russians are doing the job that Obama doesn’t want to: killing ISIS regardless of what name they’re going by.

Oh my GOODNESS, will Russia “create more terrorists” this way?!

Not.

[rrrod]

Why waste high priced ordnance on mussies?

[Mr. Jeeves]

They don’t need to shoot up the expensive stuff first just to resupply the defense contractors before election time. :)

Now let’s all go home, put our heads in are pillows and have a god cry!

[Iron Munro]

Well, we have pretty well proven that you cannot win wars against muslim savages by building them new hospitals, airports, highways, bridges, sewerage plants, power plants, water works and schools for girls.

Maybe bombing the living crap out of them will yield better results.

[McGruff]

“Russia lacked precision-guided weapons for its bombing campaign in Syria”

I find that hard to believe.

[factoryrat]

I doubt that the Russians are overly concerned about collateral damage.

Their bombing strategy is usually “bomb first, sort the casualties later” type of campaign. When you’re going after a force that isn’t easily identified, no uniforms or mixed population/militants and such, carpet bombing tends to be messy, yet effective.

Poor Lodi90, she wanted an anti-Putin response when she posted up this thread...

[Paul46360]

dumb blondes??

[NormsRevenge]

hey,, nothing like a 500 pounder landing on your head.. or the roof of your mud hut.

[Ohioan]

What do you do with an existing supply of old ordinance? Would it be cheaper to reassemble the contents in some new format, or to simply dispose of same by carpet bombing a target?

The Russians may be cutting a moral corner. I do not know. But, then, most of us applauded when they dispensed with a trial or even any legalistic niceties, when they had a dealing with the pirates off of Somalia.

While understanding the horror of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, I have always accepted that Truman did the right thing, and actually saved both American & Japanese lives, by cutting to the chase in that manner.
