Russia fired cruise missiles into Syria with a much surprising range most in the west didn't think was possible. A little something to think about. : http://www.idahostatesman.com/2015/10/07/4023794_russia-fires-cruise-missiles-into.html?rh=1

U.S. weakness is provocative to the despots of the world. I'm afraid that the POTUS has let the genie out of the bottle.

Doesn't surprise me at all, I would assume Russia has cruise missiles with near the same range as the US. We tend to write them off due to the end of the Cold War often times, but they are still a military juggernaut.

LCDR (Join to see) People like to talk about how strong China is militarily these days. People don't realize that China's outcome vs Russia (not that this would happen) would be much the same as China's outcome vs the US...and very nearly just as fast.

Don't fuck with Russia.

As long as they don't hit a "Hospital" full of innocent Dr.s and civilian patients. No surprise. As I said before, it will not take very long to pacify the Syrians. How long did it take to pacify Crimea?

Russian do have Area 51 too .... or something like that. lol

ISIS will pull back ... They are not really a tough enemy at all. Kurd beat the crap out of them with outdated equipment, while ISIS has our abandoned US equipment.

Isis is Sunni, other Sunni's won't let the Iraqis or Iranians slaughter them. The Kurds are considered Devils by both Sunni and Shiite. They often pull Kurdish pants down to see if they have a tail. No one but us will side with the Kurds

As expected. And now I expect a stern talking to Putin from Kerry.....Obama will probably be too busy trying to get more guns out of our hands....

I am sure that is just the tip of the iceberg as to what they truly are capable of.

It will be interesting to see who tries to smack the hornets nest first.

SGM Mikel Dawson - Hopefully the U.S. won't have to be the ones to clean up the mess that Russia makes from this.

With the air space incursions into Turkey, I can see some button pushing dud getting just a little anxious. One ops leads to another ops and there we go.
