It does, you think Vlad is opening a second front?

I’m stunned they have an operational aircraft in Syria.

You know, I agree with the critisism of the Biden administration and it's forcing a woke agenda on the military. That said, it pisses me off how quickly many people in this forum result to insulting the men and women in uniform serving so you can shitpost on a message board.

While there are a few trans people in the military, 99.99999999% of the military is made up of our kids. frick you for insulting them. Thats why many people think some of you are just paid Russian troll farmers, there is no way you can be an American and disparage our troops the way you do simply because you don't like Biden. Again frick you. Stop insulting our troops.

Well except the jerk off in the White House clearly has ROEs in place that precludes us from shooting them down.

Why do we need anyone based in Syria? I’m scratching my head and can find no valid, beneficial reason to have a military base there.

The last time Russia fricked around with us in Syria, they found out. Probably time to remind them of that.


Different President.

Agree 100 %. My son ships out on April 9 for 22 weeks of training at Fort Benning to become an infantryman. And I’m damn proud of him.

I don't know why we have it either. The only two possible explanations I can see are:

1) We made an agreement with the Kurds to have it there
2) We have an airbase in one of our regional adversaries yards and they can't do anything to make us give it up. It is worth having simply for the possible future need.

Other than those two reasons, I don't see why.

Yep. That’s what happens when you’re weak. They take out your drone ( and you do nothing) so of course they DGAF about your “boundaries”.



The Afghanistan Withdrawal Debacle was the most embarrassing and egregious frick up by a President in modern history and we're gonna be paying for that BS for a long time.....the US is viewed as a corrupt nation in decline under the leadership of an installed inept regime.

I believe the Afghanistan withdrawal was the single biggest catalyst for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Putin saw how weak we looked and decided to test Biden. Unfortunately, he under estimated our response, and now here we are.

Oh my goodness, you an expert on ROE? You aren’t.

American forces can use lethal force at anytime.

Syria is choreographed, trust me.
