#3 IMO, Russians have a huge advantage over Americans in dealing with Muslims.

#4 That advantage is called Barrack Hussain Obama. Seriously, if he were an agent of a hostile power, what would he do that is any different from what he is doing right now?

#6 #4 They had advantage long before Obama---not idealizing their 3rd world allies.

#7 That he isn't the agent of a foreign power must have been news to ValJar.

#8 In theory the F-111 could carry Sidewinders, did they? Also what's that weird air frame protruding beyond the engines of the pictured plane? Makes it ugly.

#9 Ship, that is an antenna for gathering info in the electronic spectrum i think. like a passive receiver so when analyzed you know how to jam that signal.

#10 Things may be escalating as DEFENCE.PK/FORUM BLOGGER is repor "breaking news" that SEEMINGLY OR ALLEGED LOST CONTACT WID TWO RUSSIAN HELOS MAY BE DUE TO THE SAME BEING SHOT DOWN BY TURKEY OR PRO-TURKEY MILITIA GROUPS???

Russ Helos allegedly lost at way above Conventional AAA andor effec MANPAD range, ergo suspicions that they may had beens shot down by Turkish LR SAMS???

* Also from DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > RUSSIA READY TO USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON TURKEY!? CHINA, RUSSIA, AND PAKISTAN THE WORLD'S NEW SUPERPOWER AXIS | [ValueWalk] RUSSIA PICKS NUCLEAR ALLIES FOR IMMINENT WAR [NucWar?] WID NATO, over Turkish SU-24 shootdown.

This action W-I-L-L of course invoke a NATO collective military response in defense of Turkey, but IMO Darth Vlad = Russia doesn't want.

Again, as Myself + various MSM-Net Perts have argued, HOW OBAMA RESPONDS TO CHINA'S EXPANSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, MILPOL ACTIONS in EAST ASIA-PACIFIC - THE SCS + ECS + TAIWAN + IOR -IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS OR RISKIER TO US INTERESTS THAN ANYTHING INVOLVING RUSSIA ANDOR IRAN.

#11 OOOOOOOPPPPSSS, forgot TOPIX > [Daily Caller] GREECE SCRAMBLES JETS AFTER SIX TURKISH FIGHTER JETS VIOLATE [Aegean] AIRSPACE.

Russia threatens NATO ally Turkey, so NATO ally Turkey threatens Russia, fellow NATO ally Greece???

NOT EXACTLY THE GOTHS OR GERMANIC TRIBES THREATENING ROME OR BYZANTIUM + ITALIA DUE TO PRESSURE FROM THE HUNS AND MONGOLS, ETC. BUT CLOSE ENUFF FOR THE 21ST CENTURY.

As consistent wid Maha-Rushian Limbaugh Euro + World Histoire'.
