Russia has ordered the US not to carry out airstrikes on Syrian army positions, warning that sophisticated air defence systems are now up and running. Putin has ordered the deployment of S-300 and S-400 units in order to protect troops on the ground. And Russian army bosses have warned that the weapons' radius may be 'a surprise' to unidentified planes, helicopters and drones in the area, according to Russia Today . Russia says it has deployed the anti-aircraft batteries because members of the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria are working “ on the ground ” delivering aid.

Don’t forget Kerry is doing the negotiating; I wouldn’t say there is no chance of war. I am sure Obama doesn’t want a war with Russia but Kerry is a pretty dim bulb...

Lavrov was laughing because the word on the button was “Overcharge.”

Not that at all, but a way of stealing the election.

Gee, the Russians deployed the S300 & 400 series anti-aircraft missile systems to stop the Syrian rebel air force.
Great propaganda line since the rebels don’t have any planes and hardly any anti-aircraft missiles to stop the Russians or Syrians.

Now, wait for Secy of Defense Carter to say, “OK, we’ll back off” so that the Russians will have complete control of the sky even in the US operational air regions.

Russia is winning in Syria due to Obama’s cowardice and sheer incompetence re the civil war in that country, aided and abetted by the incompetence of the previous JCS chief Dempsey and his asskissing toadies, the total incompetence of both Hillary Clinton and John Kerry (who was almost never competent at anything), and the stupidity of Ashton Carter and his staff of losers.

If I left out any traitors, incompetents or fools from the Obama administration, I apologize. Just sign in. I think the FR site can handle tens of thousands of name of the guilty. Let’s start with the whole White House team, the Dempsey JCS, DOD leaders, CIA intell leaders, the media, leaders of the Democrat Party, and the leftist complicit media.

This would be the list of the top traitors, fools, and incompetents who are destroying America. We need to know who they are.

We only fly over Syria due to the courtesy of Russians manning S-300 or S-400 missile sites.

Obama/Kerry did there best to provoke the bear killing near 80, but the Russian’s didn’t take the bait.

How many “accidents” can you have?

The provocations aren’t working.

Vlad, just chill a bit before waging war on the US. January isn’t that far off.

"Not under Reagan or Trump they wouldn’t."

Neither of them would be flying air support for Jihadi head choppers.

And neither of them would be risking war with Russia on behalf of those head choppers.

So it's a moot point.

My prayers will be for the pilots and their crews, but I will NEVER back Muslim Obama on ANYTHING....not even against the angry Bear.

"They have been itching for it for years, and now they’re convinced they can keep it conventional."

That's the dictionary definition of insanity right there.

When one side loses a few thousand men and a couple of billion in equipment, they will nuke the other side.

Guaranteed. As certain as the day is long.

PAIPS? Translation please ;)

The word gets 27,100 hits on Google, starting with the Urban Dictionary definition, contributed by "Hannity":

this is the acronym used to describe Hillary Clinton. It stands for "Pig In A Pants Suit."

Why does PIAPS hate the military and the FBI so much?
