I'm sure Russia is just peachy with this, as they have a major Navy base there(in Syria).


Fuck me, why couldn't I have been born in the 30's, and on my way out the door of life right now?:mad::mad:

All it takes is one misplaced rocket to kill an american troop or two in Jordan and things will turn bad VERY quickly.

Yeah, I've been seeing this all over twitter. And Turkey just forced down a passenger plane they think wasn't carrying passengers.

HIGHLY doubtful, they're one of "our" biggest "allies" over there.

Sit tight, and break out the potato suits, it's about to get hot in here.

Hopefully the United States will run out of money and put an end to the constant meddling.

The only way to run the United States out of money is to End The Fed. They can print as much money as they want. It is just a computer entry. They might hyperinflate our currency to oblivion, but they are not going to run out of money.

Biden would certainly be more of an expert than Obama. Could be interesting.
