SU-34: Coming after Obunga's ISIS butt buddies....

Russia and China have "caught up" to our 1990 stealth technology.

this is unverified but we all know that one of the biggest fears for years has been that high quality anti aircraft systems that many want to give to the rebels fighting Assad would inevitably end up with ISIS, and that they would do exactly this. Word is that 2 arab nations have been doing just that, and I would not at all be surprised if the CIA has been doing it as well. The American corporate media has largely not noticed but ISIS has been doing very well on the Sinai.

Just as taking out Gaddafi was a huge blunder

so is not supporting Assad turning out to be.

We're very close to a third world war.

The West needs to get it though our thick heads that a lot of the world has given up in us. The other team for the moment is Russia/China/Iran, but they will be growing. And our military, in spite of how much we spend on it, is spectacularly unprepared for what is coming. Just like with our medical and education systems we spend a lot for no where near value for our money.

My nightmare scenario is Latvia/Lithuania/Estonia. War in those countries will escalate very quickly to a nuclear war.

Kogalymavia airline official Alexander Smirnov told reporters in Moscow that the protection systems on the plane would have prevented it from crashing, even if there were major errors in the pilot's control equipment.

"Therefore the only reason that could explain the plane's breaking up in the midair can be a certain impact, purely mechanical (and/or) physical impact on (the) flying vessel," he said

King Salman has been impressed by Russia's counterterrorism campaign in Syria so much that he is allegedly planning to come to Moscow before the year is out to "forge an alliance with Russia," Dr. Mordechai Kedar wrote for Arutz Sheva.

The oil kingdom is one of America's key allies in the Middle East but Riyadh and Washington have long appeared to be slowly moving apart. At the same time, Saudi Arabia and Russia have been increasingly interested in improving bilateral ties.

Kedar, who served at the IDF's military intelligence agency for 25 years, outlined four major reasons explaining this trend.

"The most important is America's weak standing in the region, obvious to all and exacerbated by Obama's announcing his retirement from the position of world policeman and the beginning of the American electoral campaign. There is no one to talk to anymore in Washington, especially now that it has become clear that the Iran Agreement is a 'done deal,'" he noted."
