    Syrian civil war

    Nobody is saying the deaths of civilians aren't important. How does it follow that because Russia may have killed civilians (and incidentally, Google revealed that the page you linked is the only source for this story), Turkey, which has killed thousands upon thousands of its own civilians and...

    Paris attacks

    Article is a hoax, the school doesn't exist. http://www.ara.shafaaq.com/41105 (also in Arabic) RT quotes the German Press Agency (DPA) which hasn't released anything about civilians being bombed... try again. It is being reported that France hit ISIS targets near Mosul, though...

    Syrian civil war

    Evidence recently emerged that the US bombed a hospital in Syria, everyone immediately rushed to dismiss it as an unfortunate accident, just collateral damage.

    Syrian civil war

    Dunno, maybe the same thing that happened on each of the 2244 times that Turkish fighters entered Greek airspace last year: http://www.politico.eu/article/turkey-buzzes-weakened-greece-military-airspace/ Absolutely nothing?

    Syrian civil war

    Very interesting video here - former commander of NORAD in Alaska during the Cold War says there were many instances of Soviet planes flying into their airspace, but that they "would never do anything like that" (shoot them down). This during the Cold War, and he's making these comments on Fox...

    Syrian civil war

    Yeah I know, "marxist.com," but it neatly summarizes what I've read from more reputable sources.:numnum: - - - Updated - - - Exactly. Unless Obama has suddenly had a few of his screws loosened, the US is not going to take on Russia. Miscalculation and/or delusions of grandeur on the part of...

    Syrian civil war

    This is where Turkey claims the Russian jets violated their airspace: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/24/world/middleeast/russia-turkey-jet-shoot-down-maps.html Two miles wide, pretty sure a military jet crosses that space in less than ten seconds, yet Turkey claims they warned the...

    Euro 2016 General Discussion Thread

    Apparently the other ex-Yugoslav countries think Slovenes are arrogant, as they've always tried to identify themselves as western and somehow different from/better than the other south Slavs. And during the Yugoslav period they were always pushing for more autonomy since they were the richest of...

    Paris attacks

    If there's one positive thing about this, it's that it seems to have helped thaw the relationship between the NATO countries and Russia: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/17/russian-us-forces-exchange-military-information-airstrikes-against-isis-syria And I have to assume that Turkey's...

    Euro 2016 General Discussion Thread

    The penalty awarded to Ireland was a total joke, but Bosnia lost the match all by themselves, tbh. Awful defending on the 2nd goal, and with players like Pjanic and Dzeko you should be able to score more than one goal over 180 mins. Still sad on behalf of a couple Bosnian friends of mine though.

    [ITA] Serie A 2015/2016

    IMO if anyone deserves the sack this year it's Stefano Colantuono at Udinese, they're losing without putting up a fight. When you look at the teams ahead of Samp and Palermo (with the exception of Atalanta and Slytherin) I think they're right about where they belong.

    [ITA] Serie A 2015/2016

    I honestly doubt it, this is Roma we're talking about, I think they'll fall apart sooner or later. The only question is whether it'll be Juve or another team that takes advantage when it does happen.

    [ITA] Serie A 2015/2016

    Tagliavento strikes again, awarding a penalty for a foul on Dzeko outside the box, and then Lulic gets away with a hard stomp on Salah. Is there a Serie A ref who's blown more calls in high profile matches than Tagliavento?

    Moto GP

    For one thing, MotoGP is owned by a Spanish company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorna_Sports Marquez claims that Rossi actually braked Marquez's bike with his foot, causing him to fall, which would be an incredible feat of dexterity given the brake guards that all MotoGP bikes have...

    [ITA] Serie A 2015/2016

    When was Kevin Strootman ever a key player for Roma? ::hustini2:: The average side getting better makes for a much more interesting championship. There are about ten teams right now in Serie A who are really interesting to watch, and I don't think it's crazy to say that right now there are at...
