Friend of a friend is a photo journalist - he's spent a fair bit of time in Syria (and Libya, Ukraine, Gaza and other conflict zones) - you can check out his photos here if you're interested: http://alessioromenzi.photoshelter.com/index

Fuck, that's funny.  Antisemite cossack sluts still can't figure out what to do with water.  The Brits did it better when it was called the Atlantic Conveyor.

The Kuznetsov, never an entirely reliable system, had one of its MiG-29KRs crash in November, and another pilot had to eject after the Kuznetsov's landing gear failed and couldn't receive the aircraft, Jane's reports.

Well, I can see one issue right away...

Minor leaguers.

I'd like to congratulate Syria and their Russian allies for losing Palmyra to ISIS. Again.

Good job!

[Phillip V]

How many US troops we have in Syria now with the latest increase:  500?  What will Trump do.

[CountDeMoney]

Apparently ISIS/IL took Palmyra back from Syrian forces in the last 24 hours.  Obviously the Russians were too busy on hold with AAA to their aircraft carrier towed.

[11B4V]

And folks are worried about Russian military might.

I'm sure they'll get right on carpet-bombing some hospitals in Nowhere-Near-Palmyra from 10,000 feet in response.

And they get mad if you call them a regional power.

I just do not get how all these equipt modern armies keep getting owned by a few punks with AK-47s. I know their training sucks but come on.

I suspect it is the same reason insurgents "take back" secured areas in every war like this.

Because the army has to leave at some point to go fight somewhere else.
