Lots of large format pictures. It would appear that France and Russia are forming an alliance to go after ISIS. What a change after the Mistral dispute.

Apparently any democracy that admits Muslims is destined to destruction.

Russia and the USA together have 3,000 warhead.

The Arab world for now is militarily weak, though that will soon change. Their population is exploding, often on the backs of the social support systems of the West.

Militarily the west is in a position where WAITING to be destroyed by Arabs is NOT neccessary.

WHY DON’T WE SIMPLY NUKE THE WHOLE ARAB WORLD...?

Yeah, that’s not nice. I don’t relish it.

I honestly WANT to co-exist with them, but at every juncture, they honestly and gleefully declare their intent to destroy us.

No, seriously, let’s just DO it.

Come on, you’ve THOUGHT about it, right?

I’d be concerned about nuclear fallout on Israel.

And France was bullied into reneging on the Mistral deal, remember.

France and Russia have had a historically close relationship. So this is no surprise.

I actually just thought of a flight of BUFFS carpet bombing Raqqa with FAES.

Great pictures. Is ISIS still in Syria or have they all gone to Europe?

Yes, I HAVE actually thought about it.

And if I became president, the day after my inauguration, there would no longer be a Mecca.

The problem with that is fallout. So you want to contaminate the northern hemisphere, really? Well how nice of you to invite the rest of us to your personal retreat in Australia.

So if Russia and France team up against the bad guys, and Obama’s USA refuses to play along, does this mark the end of NATO for all practical purposes?

Thank you Obama for throwing France in Putin’s arms.

The answer is to frack and drill our way to energy independence while looking to future tech as a hedge. Starve the goat humping nations of the cash to attack us. Isolate and quarantine them, refuse to let any of these subhuman Neanderthals into the west and then using CONVENTIONAL munitions, bomb any ISIS types back to the stone-age, (which won`t be very far from where they are culturally now).

Well.......I’ve heard the rumors......leaked stories by our pilots, who take off on a sortie to bomb some supposed target, only to be ordered to abandon the mission upon arrival over the target......and return to base with a full bomb load. It’s all Obunga, and our select, hand-picked, whimpy, limp-wristed chain of command.

Fallout for sure. Once nukes start to fly, who would be the next target? Would the land be inhabitable? How about the vegetation, trees, ability to grow crops, fish?

“I actually just thought of a flight of BUFFS carpet bombing Raqqa with FAES.”

The Rooskies brought out a few Bears and even a TU-160 or two (which really surprised me) for this. They are serious.
