Looks like ISIS already responded to Russia. Seems as if they really were responsible for blowing up that plane going from Egypt to St. Petersburg. At first ISIS claimed responsibility and Russia said no way, but bombed ISIS around Palmyra the following day. Now the UK and US are pretty much confirming that a bomb blew it up in the air probably packed in the luggage compartment. Funny that Russia hasn't said anything yet. They always stay tight lipped and are probably planning retaliation as we speak
not to be an asshole but I'd rather they be targeted than us. again, let them play in the sandbox. no skin off our back.
Let's see what Russia's response is, it'll be very interesting. I doubt they'll turn and run but I do think this will be the beginning of the end for ISIS. Egypt will now have an issue with tourism especially if it turns out it truly was some piece of shit with security clearance at the airport who placed that bomb so they'll actually fight against the animals in Sinai and Russia will ramp up their attacks in Syria. I don't think Putin will take being poked in the eye too kindly.
Exactly what I posted earlier. Let the Russians bleed for once just like we have for the last 14 years. We can't be the World's Police Force anymore. Time for other countries to step up.
Let's bring this topic back from the dead... Russia admitted today that the airliner in Egypt was brought down by a "homemade" bomb and prompty upped their offensive in Syria. For the first time in this campaign they used long lange strategic bombers, such as the Tu-160 and Tu-95.
For the first time in World History, USA and Russia are fighting against a common enemy together. Historic moment if you ask me. Now, as an motherfucking opportunist, all I want from this turmoil is a free Kurdistan for all us Kurds who were left without our own country for hundreds of years.
True but that was different. Russia was protecting its own soil and USA was fighting in a different front. But you are right. WW2 was first and I guess this is second.
Hahaha. Turkey didn't take part in WW2 but Ottoman Empire lost WW1 while as an ally to Germans. And in schools in history lessons, we were thought it wasn't the Ottoman's who lost the war. They thought us we lost the war because Germany lost the war. Fucking Turkish Education system. When I was 9 years old, my elementary school teacher kicked my legs for refusing to sing a very Nationalistic Turkish Song about the bravery of Turks. Trauma in my soul.
I was talking about the Kurds with Lebanese born American the other day. His family came over after the Beirut bombing in 1983. They are Americans now...nothing to do with the story though. I was talking with him about Kobani battle in 2014. I think Kobani was the height of ISIS (until this Paris attack). During the battle for Kobani, I felt, the United States and Kurdistan were building a strong military cooperation with each other. Many reporters and people believed that ISIS would capture Kobani, but the Kurds had different plans. Kobani held strong and was able to fight off ISIS invasion. Kurds were on the ground holding on to their city while cooperating with USA led sorties. Together, we were able to defeat ISIS in Kobani, and push back ISIS advance; a devastating loss for Daesh. It was at this time that the Kurds were on advance and taking swaths of ground back from ISIS. USA and Kurdistan cooperation developed into the most effective weapon we have seen against ISIS....this was true, effective relationship that was battering ISIS... at one point, I read somewhere that Kurds were within 100 miles of Raqqa (ISIS self declared Capital and stronghold). Kurds and USA were beating the shit out of ISIS together. Then....like out of fucking no where Turkey comes along and says to USA 'we want to help you with your air campaign against ISIS'. So we say, 'fucking-A right lets bomb these fools.' But then Turkey does this terrible thing and they decide to bomb the Kurds instead killing over 300 fighters (i believe that was the # i read). Since then, Kurds advance has slowed and the trust I think with the USA has faltered badly. This is the kinds of bad decisions by our leadership that drives me nuts! Do we want to defeat them? Do we really want to defeat them? Because in one hand you have a weapon that is effective and destroying the shit out your enemy...but then in the other hand we supply and support those who supply and support our enemy? Our policies over there are funky and it leads me to believe this war is mostly about making $$$$$$$$$$$$$ It makes me doubt my Countries leadership and it leads me to believe there is wayyyy more corruption in positions of power than this world may have ever seen before.
I'm curious to see just how cooperative the US and Russia are being with one another. Putin has been backing Assad, and we've been backing god knows who all trying to overthrow him. Somebody's got to move from their position. But I'd be glad to see it. We've been rattling sabers with the Russians for no real good reason for far too long.
The Kremlin and Putin confirmed the Metrojet plan that killed 224 and crashed from Egypt had a bomb. Traces of an improvised bomb made of 1 kilogram of TNT were found among the crash debris, the Kremlin said. Russia is offering a $50 million reward for information on suspects in the Oct. 31 attack. Putin is going to go all Hitman on these terrorists https://www.facebook.com/NBCNews/videos/1243219109031450/
Perfect write up. Obama is a disgrace. He sold out Kurds and left them hanging. Why? Because he loves Turkish dictator Erdogan who in the first place created the ISIS monster along with Saudis. Israel supports Kurds. Israel wants a Kurdistan. Israel is ready to help. But Obama says No. I fucking hate him. He might be Muslim after all. How can he be mesmerized by the Turkish dictator. Look at below picture. I truly got furious. This can't be America's president. He is a disgrace Turkish loving idiot. They now have the common enemy Dierking. Russia is backing Shia in Middle East(Iran, Assad etc) USA is allies with Turkey and Saudi's trying to balance the Shia influence. But turns out ISIS is not the pretty boy. They are now fucking every value Western believes in. Now Obama has to fight against ISIS. Fuck Obama.
Security there was pretty much non-existent. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wor...p-security-egyptian-airport-article-1.2425622
Even a blind man can see there are interests being served. Turkey and Saudi are both problems; both definitely supporting ISIS. There is no way ISIS could stand without Big support. And Turkey and Saudi are two Nations we continue to support. I don't understand the agenda or policies over there? We say we are good, but then we support evil. We just like playing on all sides of the field. Because while we support Turkey and Saudi (who support ISIS), we also make 'deals' with Iran strengthening their power in the world. Our grandfathers must be rolling in their graves.
