[RummyBoy]

US is sending special forces to Syria, under the premise of fighting ISIS. In fact, everyone knows they are being sent to support the rebels, fight the Russians and take out Assad....

Obama Set To Announce US Boots On The Ground In Syria, Russia Threatens Deployment "Unacceptable" | Zero Hedge

First rule of US Fight Club:

(1) Never talk about fight club ie don't tell the public.

(2) If you can't piss off the Chinese, Try the Russians.

(3) If item (2) fails, then attack someone else.

(4) If item (3) fails, then we need a new attack plan.

I don't know enough about military flight operations, but that's only one sortie daily each aircraft. Granted some will not fly every day, but that still does not seem out of the realm?

Russia does, however, get more leeway in what they consider targets. Nobody expects them to be doing "good." Nobody gives a shit what they do. The alliance on the other hand, is at the "top" and being watched with a magnifying glass.

seems extremely exaggerated to claim that beginning on day 1 of the air campaign. having to setup ops, sort objectives and fly those all instantaneously seems like a bold claim only military spin doctors spin. just like the ones told to BO and the American people about how our air campaign was doing in Syria

either way, the move by BO seems a reactionary move to Ruskies.

After Russia started, there was a lot of articles and opinions coming out. Most every article by any military personnel in the world essentially said he needed to take action or the US was the new bitch. It was inevitable the minute Russia started moving.

according to CENTCOM, ruskies had flown only ~80 sorties 2 weeks into the campaign.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ikes-in-syria/

Ruskies claim they flew 80 missions that day.

During 24 hours, aircraft of the Russian aviation group in the Syrian Arab Republic have increased the intensiveness of engagement of command centres, materiel concentration and storage areas of the ISIS terrorists : Ministry of Defence of the Russia

i agree, i had commented elsewhere earlier that they need to get the job done and get out, maybe they can run 80+ sorties a day with 50 aircraft in adverse conditions.'


the total airstrikes USA had on Syria for the year long BO campaign was ~2500.

Doesn't work that way.

It does, that's what the commissioned officers are for.

Obama is only sending 50 ''advisers'' that will operate near the Turkish border (with the Kurdish resistance-rebels).

Sound familiar? They are an advance force? There is speculation of Syria being partitioned like Germany was after WW2 -- there are talks being held between the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran about Syria -- Assad and the rebels were not invited

[pimpmaster9000]

when did the USA actually win? was it in iraq? or afghanistan? or vietnam? or korea? all spectacular failures...even ww2 was won by russia all the USA did was nuke fishermen to make one guy ruling crippled japan surrender..

is there a war the US army was in where the USA can say: things are now better?

no?

I have no idea why you guys are sending your army anywhere honestly speaking

[MFCT]

Are they being sent there to die? To drum up support for a ground invasion?

Or will they accidentally-on-purpose be sent to an area that's a likely target for Russian bombers, to make the Russians look like the bad guys for fighting ISIS?

Either way, I feel sorry for those people being sent. And I hope they survive that shithole.

Anyone remember when we went into Kuwait, blew the shit out of the Iraqi army, and left with mission accomplished in like a week? Those glory days are long gone. Any Middle-Eastern military operation the U.S. has been involved in after Kuwait has been nothing short of a total clusterfuck. So hey, let's start another full ground invasion "we don't even know what our goal is" clusterfuck war in Syria fighting ManBearPig.

[RummyBoy]

That's really astute. Good chance they'll try to set up the Russians in some way, shape or form so they can increase the war.

You dont seem to grasp the concept of the chain of command. The President is not referred to as the "Commander in Chief" just for fucking fun & games.

DAMASCUS?A barrage of missiles slammed into an overcrowded suburb of the Syrian capital, killing at least 40 people on Friday, activists said, as world powers convened in Vienna for talks on how to resolve the country?s conflict.

The attack in the Damascus suburb of Douma, the latest on this rebel-held area that has seen hundreds of people killed over the past few years, was a stark reminder of the enormous civilian suffering inside Syria while negotiations over President Bashar Assad?s future take place abroad.

You are a dumbass. The only reason Russians aren't speaking German today, is because the US and the Brit hit Hitler's supply lines in Africa.

Russia was done, Hitler controlled the air and was bombing your ruble to smaller bits of ruble. The only reason Russia was given a fighting chance wad because Hitler had to send most of his air forces to Africa to fight Americans and the Brits..

You dumb russians really need to lean actual history..

Not to mention the US also won the war aginst Japan..

Please also tell us of the great Russian naval battles of WW2... Also tell us of the many Russian bombing raids over Germany...

the problem with your reasoning is that you try to avoid engaging with the issue at hand, and instead try to shift attention to baseless extreme hypotheticals...a pathetic attempt at tainting the merits of my original arguments by unsubstantiated conjecture...if the USA did not hit supply lines in africa aliens from outer space would have raped us to death...

FYI: you nuked fishermen 2x in war torn crippled japan...some victory LOL...

The problem with my reasoning, is you know I'm fucking right.. The only people in the world more brainwashed about the significance of their involvement during WW2 than Russians is North Koreans..

Do you realize how fucking stupid you Russians look with your ignorant statements claiming "you" won WW2? You guys look like arrogant jackasses because you are.. Even the Chinese are not as fucked up and brainwashed as you fucks..

wW2 was a joint effort.. Lots of countries were involved and Russians sure as hell did not "win" WW2 as if they were the ones doing everything..

reality: the USA lost just as much soldiers in ww2 as shit hole yugoslavia did

and a good portion of that was in the pacific...

so you could say yugoslavia did more in europe than the USA did in ww2

stalin was a big dick playa, swinging past the knees, the most important man in the world, and this hurts your thin skin

you guys demonstrated your competence in vietnam where you got your asses handed to you buy asian farmers HELOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is reality calling crockett you dropped more bombs than in all ww2 combined and LOST ho ho ho ho ho

you fucking lost half of korea LOL...asain farmers applied no lube LOL

the US army took small asian sausage up the butthole! ho ho ho

how funny is it when you claim russia would be speaking german if it was not for the USA but in reality you cant even keep small asian sausage from being up your ass? answer: very funny!

back to my point: you lose a LOT, maybe you should just let big dick playa putin swing past the knees, and keep your loser army at home

Stalin was the reason Russia lost 20 million during WW2... Don't cry that the U.S. Was smart enough not to make unarmed troops be bullet shields for the few Russians who actually had guns.

Stalin's tactics were.. Make everyone run at the German machine gunner in hopes he runs out of ammo..

Obama put the U.S. in a war with the Russians. Thanks

i don't think so
soldiers of the USA will settle down at Kurds, there many volunteers from Russia are at war with isis

the topic is not about the World War 2
PS: 20 million of losses are losses among the civilian population in Ukraine and Belarus generally.

[Robbie]

either way, the move by BO seems a reactionary move to Ruskies.

For better or worse that has been the story of foreign affairs under the Obama administration.

Remember, the Republicans called it "Leading from behind".

In my humble opinion...I have no idea what the fuck our military is doing there anyway.

It's none of our business. I hear the war mongers on the news channels screaming that: "We are giving Syria to Russia"

WTF???

1. Syria isn't "ours" to "give"
2. Syria is a long time ally of Russia
3. Who gives a fuck?

[RummyBoy]

1. Syria isn't "ours" to "give"

That's odd; I didn't read any articles that implied Russia was making the United States their bitch.

The truth is this is a Russian problem. Syria has always been in the Russian sphere of influence. It's stunning that Russia allowed this go on for so long without taking action. Putin is all about "taking action" and is trying to give off the impression that the government is strong and it's military is strong. You would think Putin would have been all over this.

How would Russia sending in it's military into a country it's dominated for decades make the United States into Russia's bitch?

From a military standpoint, this is stunning. Russia and the United States will both have military forces operating in combat roles in the same country. From a political stand point this is stupid and dangerous - We have different goals in Syria, and Russia if fighting forces are supporting.

We need to stay out of this mess.

[Rochard]

It does, that's what the commissioned officers are for.
They take no oath to do the president's bidding. That's for the grunts.

Commissioned Officers do not take an oath to the President, but they do take an oath the support and defend the US Constitution. Article II of the US Constitution establishes the President as the Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces. Thus, they do in fact take an oath to the President's bidding.

Commissioned Officers do not take an oath to the President,

you str8 made that shit up about using live people as bullet shields LOL...americans have no problem with making shit up...

I said the marginal player in WW2 that is the USA, lost just as much men as small shit hole yugoslavia did...and a good part of the US casualties was in the pacific...so in reality, the USA was a side player at best <-------this is what I said learn to read LOL

as for the USA being some "smart player" who had low casualties LOLOLOL you guys showed the true glory of the US army in vietnam, can you still feel the small asian farmers sausage up your buttholes? at one time you killed of 90% of the vegetation in vietnam and you dropped agent orange and more bombs than in all WW2 combined and you still L O S T

you could not beat some farmers in asia, you nuked fishermen in aisa, it seems the US army is incapable of winning anything at all, it just drops a lot of bombs and fails

maybe you guys like small asian cocktail sausage? do you nibble on some from time to time in the army?

[just a punk]

Not to mention the US also won the war aginst Japan..

Sure thing, comrade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet...War_%281945%29

So in absolute numbers:

Soviet Union:
1,577,225 soldiers were involved
12,031 were killed
24,425 were wounded

Japan:
983,000 soldiers were involved
83,737 were killed
590,000-604,000 of Japan soldiers captured by the Soviet Army (POW's).

No bombing. No civilian genocide like in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Just a straight war like men.

Also tell us of the many Russian bombing raids over Germany...

And how many? Bombing of civilians is the classic American thing. Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Bin Hoa, Dakshin, Hue, Death flights etc - those are national honor of the USA just like jeans or Coca Cola.

[spads]

when did the USA actually win? was it in iraq? or afghanistan? or vietnam? or korea? all spectacular failures...even ww2 was won by russia all the USA did was nuke fishermen to make one guy ruling crippled japan surrender..

no?

I have no idea why you guys are sending your army anywhere honestly speaking

If Germany wasn't fighting on multiple fronts with the US, UK, etc. They would have marched straight through Russia and they'd all be speaking German now (actually that would have probably improved their country LOL).

Its pretty interesting how the US gets blamed for Korea, Vietnam, and the first Afghanistan. If I remember correctly they were responding to initial aggression from Russia (of course all Russians will deny it by saying it was the soviet union and not Russia). Just like a failed company they rebranded lmao. Also how is Korea not a success? The South is still intact and thriving. What can you say about the Russian backed North?

[just a punk]

Yeah Russian men are real men...if real men commit mass gang rape...

It's good that you can read books. But after all what Germans did to Russians during WWII, I'm not surprised the mofos got some feedback. This is not a stupid book written by a Nazi whore. This is documentary - a Russian girl killed and gang raped by Germans:



Should I remind you that most of Russian loses during WWII are not military ones? Those are civilians raped and burned alive by German Nazi SS. So I don't care what's written in your fantasy book. Even it that was true, that was an absolutely normal vengeance.

P.S. Don't forget which army has liberated your country. Your nation can not fight. The only thing you can do best is to drink beer and vodka all day long. How many wars your country has won, ah? That's how a real man should look like:

[pimpmaster9000]

If Germany wasn't fighting on multiple fronts with the US, UK, etc. They would have marched straight through Russia and they'd all be speaking German now (actually that would have probably improved their country LOL).

slippery slope...if germany was not fighting on multiple fronts we would all have been raped by bonobo monkeys...typical US reaction to anything...if it was not for the USA bla bla bla

If I remember correctly they were responding to initial aggression from Russia (of course all Russians will deny it by saying it was the soviet union and not Russia). Just like a failed company they rebranded lmao.

killing millions of people, dropping more bombs than WW2 and flying over half the planet to do it, shifts the blame from you completely

Also how is Korea not a success? The South is still intact and thriving. What can you say about the Russian backed North?

well you did lose half of korea didnt you? ok it was a "success" considering how you fucking lost in vietnam only an american would view korea as a "success" LOL the dynasty you guys cemented in power (by being such losers) is the worlds twilight zone LOL


back to my original point: why does the US army leave the USA at all, considering what massive failures you all are?<--------very valid point

[just a punk]

reality: asian farmers handed your asses to you...

He's not an American. Is is Czech. So when the USA army was fighting Japanese fishermen and both my grandpas were fighting German Nazis, his grandpas were drinking beer and vodka in some Prague pub - they only thing those people were worth for
