Russia, Syria, United State Problem & The Solution

Russia, Syria, United State have a problem, the solution is simple.

Monday, Wednesday & Saturday The United States has the right of way and it's bombers are cleared to drop their ordnance on their selected targets. No Russian flights during this time.


Tuesday, Thursday and Sundays Russia has the right of way and it's bombers are cleared to drop their ordnance on their selected targets. No American flights during this time.

Friday both sides drink beer/vodka, eat pulled pork sandwiches, rest and rearm.

How difficult was that?

Unfortunately according to the Pentagon spokesman, 78% of sorties RTB with the racks still full of ordinance.

This is going to be real bad as far as the balance of power.

Arabs are terrified of Russians and for good reason.

With the CENTCOM intel debacle and the administration tying our hands the Russians are going to go head to head with our inaction and in true brutal Russian fashion they will take few prisoners and speak the language of the Arab culture with a steel fist.

This is the type of chess Russians have been unable to play with stronger Presidents but with Obama he is maneuvering without fear. It is telling that Iraq is welcoming Russia with open arms to take charge of this situation. How could our President not see this coming and not be concerned with the future?

Our administration won't let our guys on the ground do anything cross border but does anyone think that the SPETZNATZ aren't going to put boots in Syria?? or the Infantry?

Our administration put us in a a situation starting with the withdrawal to watch the Russians clean up the mess we couldn't.

Is this the start of our enemies bullying their way into all our AO's because our leader stands by and sings and prepares yet another speech?

I don't know, the Russians have sided with the shias and we has sided with the sunnis. I for one am cheering the Russians this time as they have picked the right side of the fight.

Personally I hope they kill every last sunni in the Middle East. Shias can be controlled, sunnis, only way to control them is to kill them. The Russians understand this very well.

I am giggling now thinking about ISIS being handled the Russian way their faith will be tested.

But.....the US is seen as a powerhouse the most powerful military in the world. If the Russians do what Russians do and ISIS goes to its knees begging for mercy and they do it in short order what will our enemies think of our military might then?

Diplomacy fails if the might of a strong military doesn't back it.

Based on the follow two article's, imo, policy unity is lost on Obama, as a sunni mooslim he is require to be an obstructionist, which can be exampled and argued based on his ROI and these recent reports of fractures in the cause.

TS, in full agreement with your position.

add the Kurds in there...

and the plot thickens
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/...-us?int=af8409

Nations don't have friends, just interests.

IMHO, siding with the Kurds will hurt in the short run, but pay dividends in the long run

Not sure how well the US has been able to control the Shia with all the bad blood with hezbollah, Imad Mughniyah assasination, and so it goes...

I suspect our unwillingness to properly arm and support the Kurds is directly tied to an agreement with Turkey. The Kurds have already been sold out.....again.

Agree.

We've sold out the Kurds one too many times and only because we side with the sunni Turks.

The United States needs to end ties with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan Turkey, Egypt etc. Where ever there is a sunni dominance we need to cut those ties.

We can control the shia population.

The Pentagon stole my idea..... just send ammo, lots of ammo and stand back and watch.

I'm not sure if this is crazy or genius. Seems like a region that is full of people I wouldn't trust.

The government should have taken the 50 tons of ammo and given it to the refugees as they are returned to Syria. As each refugee gets off the plane, giive them an AK47, a case of ammo and tell them to fix their own problems instead of becoming a problem over here...
