Russian troops have taken command of a U.S. airbase in northern Syria — and without firing a shot. Russian state media showed commandos staging what looked like a military invasion.

Choppers descending onto the dusty runway, troops taking up combat positions. The Russians are playing up the takeover of the Kobani airfield as a victory.

The former U.S. airbase that served as the main logistical hub for America's fight against ISIS, now with the Russian flag flying above it.

Very good I’m glad to see the Russians are starting to police their own backyard instead of relying on us Americans. Let’s bring the boys home and invest in Central / South America with the Monroe Doctrine 2.0.

In a lab at my alma mater there is a scanning electron microscope. This is a $1M piece of amazing technology that actually allows us to see the atom...the smallest constituent unit of matter known in the universe. It was incredible to see these little dots in form on the screen.

If you were using that exact same scanning electron microscope, you would not be able to see how little I care about the Russians taking over an American base in Syria.

I love how Trump has made the left pro war.

Btw, if you're so anxious to go to war I can put you in contact with several recruiters.

For the record, you are in favor of the USA fighting the Russian military for control of an airbase in a country that we do not have an obligation to defend and a country that we were never invited into?

I don't think the Army wants a septagenarian. I would serve if I were about 50 years younger.

Congrats on going full neocon. We have no business having troops of any kind in Syria other than the MIC getting rich off the blood of dead Americans. You are a psychopath.

You’re 70, and you’re still delusional enough to think that we should continue our illegal war in Syria? You think regime change wars are good US foreign policy. Please don’t vote. Just collect your social security check and go away. You’re not useful.
