    Let me remind yall when I said the establishment would bite back and Russia would have very little to do about it. It was last year. Now I say this last strike is America's message to remind Eurasians about who the big shot is.

    WTF?????????????????? Beyond all doubt there's a strong mass desire for WW3, and reading the above neurotic crap proves it. 'there's no denying that Putin's Russia is US' enemy on more than the Syrian front.'

    Proof if proof were needed . . . say if often enough and the suckers will believe it.

    The best response is to decline the invitation and remain civil, factual, and concise.

    Maybe you haven't noticed, but the US and Russia are at war on the European front. A cold war, with Russia doing everything it can to prop up the European far right and undermine the EU. A divided, undemocratic Europe would be a nightmare for the US.

    25% of the rockets got destroyed.

    It happened exactly as our commentators in Germany said. An half assed lightshow.

    Zero death. Some rockets fired into the desert and avoiding russian controlled airspace.

    @El Kabosh the media here laugh about this.

    BS You know as well as I do this is all about the abject failure of US foreign policy, and that Putin had to step in when he realised you had no interest whatsoever in halting the march of militant Islam, and now it's payback time by a dumb 'president' against a statesman. And believe me, this unmitigated disaster is going to bring about your - and my own country's - downfall. In fact the world's downfall. It's the equivalent of blowing up your own house with your family inside it. Anyway the clock's ticking now, so there's no point in analyzing what lies ahead for all of us. I don't want to use the most appropriate word in this scenario because I've always feared its very meaning, but it starts with an A.

    When the US invaded Irak on pure lies of provocation I thought about Hitler's invasion of Poland on his own fake claim of provocation. I have never felt safe since Irak was invaded but I hoped - as Nevil Chamberlain hoped - that the worst was over. But now, with another fake provocation claim and an attack on Syria, I know without any doubt that the US has become a full-fledged Nazi State. The good times are over, my friends, and we are now entering a time of Hitlermania that will be in conjunction with a new era of Stalinism.

    Parts of the world wondered in the 1930's if war would be inevitable, so it remained neutral understanding that contributing to aggression would only make war a certainty. Of course, we now realize (in hindsight alone) that our passive demeanour may have made things worse in defence against Hitler's greater plan. So here we are again ....... faced with the same dilemma. There's a lot to think about today and much more at stake. It's no longer merely Shermans against Panthers or even M-16's against the Kalashnikov. You can bet that nuclear weapons are already primed and their coordinates already dialed in. It is time to have a good look at the map and see if your house is in the line of fire. It might also be a good time to pray.

    It is a reason why Russians hate Israel and its plan for erection of Greater Israel.
    Assad is bad why he does not want to give freely more as 80 % of his country for it.

    It is not clear why stupid western folks must pay and fight Isarel's numerous wars beginning from Iraq.

    Russians and western folks say the same to Israel:

    SCREW YOU! BRAVO ASSAD!

    At last a thoughtful contribution rather than gauche nonsense-speak from 'yee-ha for world war 3' halfwits. Yes, I'm afraid this is the big one; the second world war was supposed to be 'the war that ends all wars', but obviously it wasn't, but this one sure will be!! I had hoped that my house will be in the line of fire, but unfortunately my son and his kids live 40 miles away, so I hope their house is. And to think they were with me only yesterday, and it might be the last time I'll be with them. What a thought.

    You wanted geopolitics govern over the rule based world order... You... Iran, Russia and some cliques of other countries got netted by their "populism", including Germany and Turkey... Your axis said Hillary's election would mean war. Your allies opened expensive bottles of champagnes to celebrate Trump's presidency in Kremlin while few people like me were telling Trump was captured and if geopolitics had returned -as youd wished- that would have meant the establishment -as in any country else- would take over the state and start acting accordingly...

    Now deal with it because this is what you've asked for...

    The today attack was a joke. The Syrian airforce was able to intercept and jam 1/3rd of the rockets. Not a single british rocket reached its destination.

    They are dancing in the streets of Damaskus. Only casuality are 3 wounded people. No dead.

    This is a desaster for NATO.

    The british rockets have shown they are seriously flawed. The american ones showed serious systematic weakness.

    I´m glad Germany stayed out of this ****. The only thing achieved is that Russia will sell more defense technology.
