US-Backed Rebels Release Video Of Dead Russian Pilot

US-Backed Rebels Release Video Of Dead Russian Pilot: World War I started over some big countries having aligned themselves with some small countries in a backwater. Let us pray very sincerely that this is not a Franz Ferdinand moment and that Syria is not to be our powder keg.

  • THE best thing that could happen is for both sides to attack Turkey and wipe it off the map, then show the Muslims what a real jihad looks like - except we're prone to call it a Crusade. This would never work as long as Obama is POTUS and he wants to destroy America as badly as Iran does. Right now he's backing ISIS, but they aren't immune to death.

    • Before yesterday I just assumed that this administrations creation of ISIS was the accident of an idiot who didn't know the history behind that Russian adventure in Afghanistan in which we created Al. Q. But now knowing that it was their intention to create a devout Islamic state in Syria to take the country over. That is truly frightening. Is this man even more of an idiot than we have all assumed, or is he evil?

      • Worse, he's a dangerously incompetent combination of both.
        He decided that trying to build a democracy in the ME was not going to work, so he was going to build a radical Caliphate! Going from bad to insanely worse!

    • What's going to happen if Russia retaliates and NATO invokes Article 5?

      "This principle is enshrined in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which states that an attack on one Ally shall be considered an attack on all Allies. NATO invoked Article 5 of the Washington Treaty for the first time in its history following the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States.'

      • Very scary. Obama can throw the American people under the bus quick enough, he needs to do the same to Turkey and the ISIS lite groups we are backing in Syria.

      • As we blog, there is probably a bunch of very high level talks among the Russians and European governments. I doubt if they would invite president knot head since he would just say climate change caused this.

        It does give you reason to think this one act could escalate this entire mess.

        • King Barky isn't allowed to play with the big kids.
          It's like when you're 16, and he's your annoying 5 year old cousin that wants to drive your go kart or dirt bike.

          • Let him drive the Go-Kart with no helmet and stick the throttle all the way forward..a few seconds and BOOM! problem solved after he hits a cement wall head first.

  • I just saw on Twitter they're supposedly claiming they shot the pilots on the way down with their parachutes.

    • I saw that too. It is tough in a situation in which both sides are antagonistic, but I don't want WWIII to erupt because moron Obama thought that giving weapons to terrorists was going to work out any than the time he gave guns to drug dealers.
