What could possibly go wrong?

[Steely Tom]

As my mother once told me, “Republicans start depressions, Democrats start wars.”

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The only reason for Eagles to be in-country, if you will, is because the Russian air force has shown up in numbers

Is this what you have to do to earn a Nobel Peace Prize like Bozo? F up the Middle East so badly that we are on the verge of a shooting war with the Russians?

[b4its2late]

Not with Obozo in charge.

I REALLY hate Putin.

However, he is taking it to the bad guys (ISIS) in Syria. I believe we should let him. We should take it to ISIS in Iraq and Turkey (yeah, I know.) That makes for a nice clean dividing line of who attacks whom where, without U.S. and Russian forces being in the same airspace ever.

0bama has demonstrated that he’s more interested in being ISIS’s air force (defeating Assad being 0bama’s priority). What should a comparatively (!) reasonable guy like Putin do when he wants to prioritize taking out ISIS? Sheesh. What a damnable mess.

Get the U.S. out of Syrian airspace.

[Norm Lenhart]

Yes and they are awesome. The F22 is what we would send if we were serious as that is THE air superiority plane.

To me this sounds like politics because Barry famously had the 22 removed from an Airbase appearance as a backdrop for his speech and replaced by...An F15. Since he opposed it as a senator.

Or he is hoping Russia downs the 15s to humiliate us.

Equally stupid as a 15 is still a world above their best.

So I go with politics.

[Jan_Sobieski]

I disagree. I think they are there to support Turkey, Russia, and Iran against Israel. Obama won’t pick a real fight. He only picks on Christians and Jews...

[Timber Rattler]

So what if the Russians shoot the F-15s down?

[McGruff]

They are providing air cover for Turkish planes so they can bomb the Kurds in Syria.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Tell me again how Ronald Reagan was a reckless cowboy who was going to start WW III with these people.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Any U.S. ‘dogfighter’ pilot who attempts to STOP Russian fighter jets from exterminating Muslim vermin can GO TO HELL. Yes, I said GO TO HELL for joining 0dingo/ValJar’s undermining of America, WAR on Christianity, expansion of the Caliphate, etc..

[dartuser]

Raise your hand if you think the president would give the order to shoot down Russian planes.

Didn't think so ...

[yawningotter]

The rules of engagement could be so restrictive that our planes are sitting ducks, and then they get sent into provocative situations. Or they could be there to shoot down Israeli F 15’s.

[WENDLE]

Why are we doing this? We have no right to be there . We are invading a sovereign country. We are risking a war with Russia . Who are we fighting for/against. GET OUT OF THERE!!!

[montag813]

Congratulations, stupid America...you RE-elected a man who is putting YOUR Air Force in the service of the global Caliphate.

[BAW]

If Obama orders the shooting of a Russian jet, will the Nobel people want back their Peace Prize?

[McGruff]

The source is forbidden here I read “Russia deploys antiaircraft missiles in Syria to protect its warplanes”

[Martin Tell]

NPR news story at the top of the hour this morning was how horrible it was that the Russians were deploying anti-aircraft missiles in Syria. No need we were told since (as this Wash Times article points out) ISIS has no air force. So, NPR spokesguy said that USAF was the Russian target. Guess we know the rest of the story now: the Russians have good reason for anti-aircraft; the US is targeting the Russians.
