Our forces are being put there to keep Russia from bombing the rebels. If Russia ignores this and bombs them anyhow our President will not respond with direct retaliation against Russia. It's a game of chicken.

 

With dear leader playing the role of the impotus and chicken in chief.

 

What happens if putin doesnt swurve...

 

Our people die and Obama sends more while "condemning" the bombing.

 

I offically hate our ****ing government...

Even before i though there was a slim chance something good might come from it, the older i get the more i realize our government needs to be whiped clean.

 

There's no indication we should expect anything else. Our President is in way over his head on anything pertaining to the use of military and he has surrounded himself with like minded lackeys rather than people with experience.

 

Their are still some special forces loyal to the constitution. This gives obama a way to rid himself of some of them and blame it on the Russians.

 

Wishful thinking my friend...

 

I'm fresh out of that.

 

Without scanning the rest of the posts...

I should not have to tell anyone why the U.S. isn't broadcasting the locations of our SF units in the Iraq-Syria region to the Russians. I thought it was common sense.

 

It has always been the practice of an administration to never even admit to any troop deployments anywhere, specially SF. Since when do we notify our enemies we are inserting SF as support for rebels fighting Assad for a take over???

While were are at it who is the treasonous bastard that allowed a video of Delta in action, we have never even admitted to having a Delta Force in the past. All branches of spec ops need to go and clean up Washington IMO.

They are risking lives by running their mouths in Washington of our finest, tactics, plans, and deployments,,

 

The one and only Chinese carrier is in port in Syria as of this morning.

Three world's armies coming together in the mid east at one time? Makes me nervous

WW

 

Really? Last I heard they were just starting to get jets ready for her and to top it off they don't know crap about operating a carrier. That should be interesting.

 

1. We have no business having soldiers in Syria in any capacity. This was put to the American people about a year and a half ago and they rose up and overwhelmingly rejected this idea. There was no "well, except for 50 special forces soldiers" exception to that rejection.

2. Russia is there to support Assad, bomb ISIS, and save Christians.

3. We are there to support the mythical "non-ISIS" Syrian rebels (not Kurds) and overthrow Assad (which would help ISIS).

4. We should be sharing information with the Russians if our troops are going to be in close proximity to each other but if we don't well, I sure as hell don't want to start world war 3 over this crap. Our fight is with Muslims, not Russians.

5. "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same."

Keep in mind that every major war we were involved in (except Iraq) was started by a democrat administration.

 

Keep in mind that every major war we were involved in (except Iraq) was started by a democrat administration.

You can just say "Korea, WW1, and WW2". All of which, by the way, turned out one hell of a lot better than the (R) wars in Vietnam (Eisenhower), Iraq, and Afghanistan.

 

The Obama administration is Isis

 

This^^^:thumb:

 

What ever happened to the days when we did not put it on the News where we were sending our Special folks???
If we're sending them to Syria, you can bet that ISIS is now massing its forces and conducting appropriate maneuvers to bring them to that area.
What a great tactic it would be to only SAY that we were sending them there, and allow ISIS to somehow come across some anti-aircraft weapons on there way there, a la Stinger Missiles in Afghanistan???

 

Sounds like they're simply being used as sacrificial lambs for conflict with Russia.

 

Sure would be a good place to get rid of the rest of those pesky Seal Team 6 Bin Laden raiders or others who have involvement in administration cover ups/lies.

 

If our SOF forces are mixed in the the Kurds, then they're also in danger of being bombed by the Turks.
The irony is, we just approved the sale of JDAM kits for the Turkish Air Force, so our own JDAM's could be used against our troops.

 

I was born in 1978. Russia was the bad guy.

Fast forward 3 1/2 decades, and Russia is bombing the terrorists who WE are turning the Middle East over to.

Never thought I'd see the day.

 

I was born in 55...grew up under Russia-About-To-Nuke-Us-Any-Second...Duck-N-Cover,Cuba, Kennedy, LBJ and his crap...problem is, its never changed and nobody has done anything about it...they are still the threat they have always been..and so it goes...

 

The US government should be more concerned about what their own population would do to them if they instigated WW3. Russia will be the least of their worries.

 

24/7 media blasts and liberal flooding of the internet will assure the population that it was the other guys that started it, and said population is for the majority so indoctrinated that no second thoughts will be given. The liberals will parade in the streets, the conservatives will flock to enlist. A win win for the progressive society.

 

Branches of the corporation we call the united states IE DHS IRS FBI FEMA DOJ etc etc etc they are all currupt..

 

 

Whichever Bright Light over there decided to shoot down a Russian civilian airliner just about provided the straw to break their girlfriends back

 

Putin is not stupid. If he bombs our guys, he'll be doing that in an election year and giving red meat to Republican hawks. (Not to mention causing an international incident that even Obama couldn't hide from.) The absolute last thing he would want to do is cause an incident like that, because it would 100% come back to bite him in the ass.

 

As can be seen by the number of my posts I don't make many. But on this one I have to. Please tell me why we are trying to overthrow the government of Syria? What have they ever done to us? Have we not destroyed enough countries in the middle east? Have we not killed enough people in the middle east? Have not enough of our children, brothers, sisters, fathers and friends died in the middle east? Why? Is it as it always is ,just about money? Will our grandchildren still be going over there to kill and die once we are dead and gone? Just when will this madness stop.

 

The war machine always churns on, why Syria ? because it's part of the plan.

We have been at war somewhere 91% of the time we have been a country

 

Syria has a president (elected) He asked Russia to help him to destroy Isis. Russia is "legally" there. The others are "invaders".

 

Elected? Put down the crack pipe, you've had enough.

Bashar al-Assad, is the Kim Jong-un of Syria. Neither were the first choice to succeed their father. Both have the 'look'. The I'm in waaay over my head but I know the only way I leave is with a bullet in the back of my head look.

He's dynastic successor of Hafez, the butcher of Damascus, Al-Assad who ruled Syria from 1979 to 2000. He was arguably the most effective and most savage middle east leader. When Islamists revolted against him he either put them in prison of killed them. His kid is soft and doesn't have 1/8th his stones.

Bashir Assad is the current head of the Assad organized crime family. He's in power because he heads a non representative (Shia in a predominately Sunni population) religious group in Syria. He's backed by Iran and the Soviets...er...the Russians. Everyone in Syria who isn't a member of the Shia Muslim Alawite minority wants him dead.

Elected assumes elections where you don't get dragged away and have 220volt electrodes attached to your testicles for voting for the wrong candidate.

 

War war war is all the neocons know. What gives the U.S. the moral authority to determine what weapons other nations can and cannot have for their own defense, or choose the rulers of sovereign nations?

The ‘supreme crime’ of international law is the Crime of Aggression. America is the greatest international criminal in the world. How did America become so blood thirsty? What happened to the America that believed in the 'Golden Rule'? (Matthew 7:12) America now has a generation that knows of nothing but perpetual war. America abandoned God. And we wonder why America is bleeding out?

 

Here we go again, Obama promised to get us out of two wars and now he's putting us into a third..... ANOTHER thing we have to thank Obama for.

 

"Thank" is not the word I would use, but expressing my true thoughts might lead to a visit from the black SUV squad.

 

If WW3 gets started guess who gets to stay in office.

 

Ok so the US government is sending 50 more special forces units over to syria

Please tell me what are the legal reason were for sending them?
The official request of the government?
The decision of the UN security Council?
How do you think, can soldier killing be casus belly in such circumstances?
Imagine similar situation: Russia send soldier to Iraq (certain location unknown) for help someone unknown rebels against ISIS (of course, without any legal reasons too). USA aircraft kill him. Is it aggression act? Is it enough reason for ww3? I believe that its too uncertain cause for war.
And I think such case probability is low because Russian jets are not bombing Kurdish and compliant rebels. They just don't see differences between ISIS and "not-quite-ISIS" that are fanatic Muslims fighters too but with the local leaders. And Im sure, that Americans will not sent their soldiers to "not-quite-ISIS", because in that case Russian jets is not main threat for their life.
