    Russia

    Give in to their demands or risk a nuclear war?

    Thanks Obama?

    Russia is not going to stop assisting their ally Syria like we will assist Israel.

    Let Russia control the Middle East or should we risk nuclear war with Russia.

    Personally we lost the Middle East and I believe Russia will protect Israel so the oil business is going to be scary because of Russian influence and Saudi will see they are the power and we are not.

    I am happy with that arrangement to be happy. It shows Obama is and was incompetent. It will allow companies with hydrogen and Solar Air companies to actually have their product and not being dismissed by oil oligarchies.

    Let Russia deal with the Muslims, I don't want it. Yes we will look weak but the focus should be here and not there. Pour your R/D in shielding, the exotic kind, so we shouldn't worry about anyone.

    Should always pick and choose your battles.

    It's not a matter of looking weak, but knowing when to not intervene.

    Russia is desperate right now. Their currency is done thanks to us, and they're trying to find anyway to look relevant.

    I want them in the Middle East and us out of it. Yes we will help Israel but with Russia backing them as well, we have no need to be over there now.


    Let's focus on hydrogen based fuel, better and cleaner than gas and the OPEC/Oligarchs have no say so in it.

    We don't even remotely need gas right now. All we need is the motives to make ethanol or Methanol. We could be off oil in no time. We have landfills chockful of potential fuel that we're not utilizing.

    I think we should look into renewable, but we can get off the majority of oil in no time.

    Nuclear energy could wipe out gas in the energy sector. As I said biomass and other methods could wipe out gas for transportation as well.

    What needs to happen is the people need to revolt, cause congress ain't doing **** with big oil's hands up their asses telling them what to say and do.

    As much as the evangelical hick "conservatives" hate Arabs I am surprised they are not big on ending our dependance on their oil.

    It isn't 2000 anymore.

    We're a) the world's largest oil producer and b) use less OPEC oil now than we have at any point in the past 30 years.

    Russia backing the Shi'a crescent and developing good ties to Israel - that's got to be incredibly odd to the Christian Zionists like Hagee.

    For Israel it might not be that bad of a deal.

    For Sunni Arabs, not so much.

    Looks like the Russian air strikes against 'ISIS' have backfired.

    I was referring to the fact that Russia is really attacking the Rebels which is strenghening ISIS. ISIS is now two miles from a major city since Russia is taking out the rebels which control that city. iSIS took out the Iranian commander in Syria.

    Don't think you and I disagree on that. I do find some irony in Russia trying to be Iran's big influence and then botch something like this.

    Goes to show you what type of quagmire it was to begin with. Obama using military action early would not have fixed this.

    Not pulling out of Iraq would had at least kept ISIS in check.


    Only way Isis will ever be defeated is with boots on the ground.

    I think the Iranian 'reaction' to the misfired missiles speaks volumes about the level of influence Russia exerts on Iran.

    https://www.rt.com/news/318102-russi...iles-iran-lie/

    “We have no reports of any Russian missiles crashing in Iran,” Gen. Musa Kamali (Iran) told Russian news agency Sputnik. “All those media reports alleging that Russian missiles aiming at Syria hit Iran are blatant lies.”

    “If the people making those claims had any proof, they would have certainly presented it,” he said. “The US made similar allegations in the past as part of their psychological warfare against whoever opposes their policies in the region.”
