ISIS Claims It Took Down Russia Airline
- Thread starter pablow
- Start date
I wonder if ISIS was really involved or just figured it was something worth claiming?
Seems unlikely they did it. But it's amazing to think there are that many people so sick and evil that they WANT to take credit for it.
ISIS has some advanced equipment, tanks, guns, ect... that they received when they took Ramadi and killed those 500 mercs, so it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that they could have done this.
FIFY
Seems unlikely they did it. But it's amazing to think there are that many people so STUPID they WANT to take credit for it.
While the US and Russia are certainly not on swapping spit terms I could easily see the 2 working together if ISIS launched attacks at both. Maybe ISIS should ask Hitler how that worked for him having both the US and Russia to handle at the same time.
Entirely possible someone saw an opportunity to set ISIS up even if neither they nor ISIS are responsible for this plane wreck.

I'm long past being surprised at any level of stupidity. Half of all Americans don't believe in evolution. But I am still shocked at the craven lack of humanity that is so widespread.
Not very much at all.

PRINCETON, NJ -- More than four in 10 Americans continue to believe that God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago, a view that has changed little over the past three decades. Half of Americans believe humans evolved, with the majority of these saying God guided the evolutionary process.
Sorry. Rounding from 42% to half on HROT falls - at worst - into the "slight exaggeration" category. Not the "hyperbole" category.
"This book weighs a ton" is hyperbole. "This book weighs like 1.2 books" is not.
Have the Republican candidates blamed this on Obama and/or Hilary yet?
Correct
It wasn't even over or anywhere near any territory they hold. More likely an accident, or an Egyptian extremist group.
42% believe the earth is 10,000 years old. Depressing enough. But as I said, half do not believe in evolution.
One thing Putin won't do.....is pussy foot around with going after ISIS. And he'll do it ruthlessly......which is embarrassing for Obama for playing patty-cake with them for the past 2-3 years.
Not saying that they did.....but do you think ISIS is only residing in the territory they hold? We have intelligence reports that have proven ISIS elements inside the U.S. ISIS is all over the Middle East and North Africa. They are also in Europe.
Won't happen. Putin is trying to strengthen Russia thru showing the world that they are a military force. He is also trying to embarrass Obama in Syria....and now has a reason to move into Iraq as he has been amassing troops inside Syria. If he sends troops into Iraq and pushes the US out of the way to take matters into his own hands. It's a foreign policy nightmare for the US.
And my prediction is that this is exactly what Putin is going to do, if the ISIS claim is legit.
They can have 'elements', but those are mostly just wannabees (want of bees? wants of bees?)
.To take down an airliner, they'd need some serious equipment and knowhow from someone, unless it was a device onboard.
They really have little control over any regions outside Syria and small areas of Iraq, and are mostly a non-issue, strategically. Now, if they really WERE getting into the Sinai, and perhaps able to take control of the Suez canal, THAT would be a major issue....
Remember, Hitler went after the Jews, too. Unless he and Russia want to rid the world of all Moslims, he will eventually have hell to pay some day.
What's the problem with letting Russia take over the Middle East problem? We save money and it puts the bulls eye squarely on their back.
That sounds like something Lindsey Graham would ask another man.
So you're fine with Russia becoming the dominant power, and turning those nations into client-states? You're ok with relinquishing political influence, and geostrategic control of the Suez region?
Russia will not "take over the middle eastern problem"....they will seek to dominate the region. WHY? Because they aren't going to pussy foot around with the issues. They are going to go and take care of the issues, because they US can't pull their heads out of their asses and commit to actually fixing anything in the region.
Stalin-like policy? Really? How will the Soviets afford it? The Arabs can screw down price of oil and not affect themselves a bit. You don't think Russia learned something in Afghanistan? Putin can only do so much for so long. Obama is only going to be around another 16 months....The US will be around longer.
As I said earlier....the only thing Putin can do is kill every Moslem in the world. He has enough problems of his own.

The latest U.S. intelligence suggests that the crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 was most likely caused by a bomb on the plane planted by ISIS or an ISIS affiliate, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. The official stressed that there has not been a formal conclusion reached by the U.S. intelligence community. "There is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in luggage or somewhere on the plane," the official told CNN's Barbara Starr.

It's not an Obama thing. The U.S. has been concerned about image and collateral damage from the start. Neither side (Ror D) is willing to say "F all of you, we're ending this thing". "We" went into a hive with a fly swatter and it's been more a matter of containment than commitment . . . imo.
