Unconfirmed reports overnight of a Russian Mig-29 shot down in Turkish airspace. Also, read unconfirmed reports of Russian missiles landing in Iranian territory a few days ago.

The English are the ones that drew up the silly middle east countries borders.(read the book El Saud.) Its all tribal and ISIS is in a holy war.

Richard, tell us why the war in Iraq was started.

Tell us who started this shite in Lybia, Syria, and the Ukraine.

Assad is a turd, granted.

Do you really not know about the long list of mass-murderers and dictators the US backed in the past? Have the UNHCR and many other HR groups not described the treatment of Palestinians as verging on mass-murder?

Why should Putin be judged more harshly than others? He's no angel, but it seems he's got the only airforce which knows the difference between an MSF hospital and a tank nowadays.

And the US is still making up its mind on whether to back the bad guys or kill them. How unusual. Duh.

The sad truth is, Richard, only Fox News followers believe anything that comes out of an American politician's mouth anymore, and they only have themselves to blame for that.

@PSD KIwi: I think the US is desperate to hide that the Russians are succeeding where they failed, I would take any reports with a pinch of salt

back the bad guys with toyotas, then you can use the onboard gps for accurate targeting.
after they remove assad.

My name is not a#$%, Richard, don't put words or claims in my mouth.

They support Putin because he does what he says and he is the lesser of two evils, and by comparison he is a good leader.

Show me ONE thing I stated above that is not general knowledge and not a view held by hundreds of millions of people.

You can continue to be blind, that's up to you, but don't try and put your blindness on me.

PS I really believe the war in Iraq was to bring democracy and find WMDs. Truly.
