russia needs putin, if it werent for putin youd probably be a 'libya'

Agreed, Russia needs a strongman. Just look at how disastrous were the Yelstin years, without a strongman Russia would be back to grotesque corruption (under Putin they have normal corruption) and the complete rape of Russia by American multinationals.
It was awesome with Yeltsen, finally a tsar with a warm heart.

If that picture is for real, McShitStain should be detained and water-boarded immediately.

And those Twitter numbers are alarming especially since all of these supporters are supposedly backwards cave dwellers.
It's real. When the picture came out last year (I think) it made a lot of noise because one or two of the guys in the background were responsible for the kidnapping of Lebanese Shias a year earlier.

    I doubt it is true. The man on the left of him is Saleem Idrees, one of the main leaders of Free Syrian Army, one of the most hostile enemies of ISIS. I don't know others, though.

    He was playing with fire, in my opinion. He is lucky he was not beheaded in Yemen if they knew he was using his fake Islam to spy on them...

    I'm wondering also why he was going to Israel from time to time! Coincidence maybe?

    And do you all really believe some journalist would go to Syria just to write new posts on his Facebook without working for anybody?

    He wasn't spying on anyone, he's a journalist.

    But yes, he's lucky he wasn't beheaded sooner. Because that's a reasonable punishment for any type of crime.

    Because everyone knows journalists are the world's baddest ass psycho killers. They are more macho than any elite military platoon combined. :heart:

    too many wimps over there.
    90% of Russia needs someone to tell them what to do. The lack of initiative there is insane.

    Obama Orders 350 More Troops to Iraq

    "These additional forces will not serve in a combat role," the White House said

    President Barack Obama authorized the deployment of another 350 American service members to Baghdad on Tuesday evening, the White House announced, bringing the number of American troops deployed to Iraq since June to over 1,000.

    White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement that the 350 U.S. troops are tasked with protecting American diplomatic facilities and personnel in Baghdad, which has been under threat from the spread of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS).

    “This action was taken at the recommendation of the Department of Defense after an extensive interagency review, and is part of the President’s commitment to protect our personnel and facilities in Iraq as we continue to support the Government of Iraq in its fight against [ISIS],” Earnest said. “These additional forces will not serve in a combat role.”

    The announcement was unrelated to the release of an ISIS video Tuesday purporting to show the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff.

    Pentagon press secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said 405 American service members will be deployed to Baghdad, while 55 who have been there since June will be redeployed elsewhere in the region. About 820 American troops are engaged in the protection mission in Iraq, which was authorized by Obama in June, while hundreds more are serving in an advisory role to Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling ISIS.

    The U.S. has also conducted 124 air strikes in Iraq, most to assist Iraqi forces in retaking the key Mosul Dam from ISIS control, with a strike Tuesday damaging or destroying 16 ISIS armed vehicles, according to U.S. Central Command.

    “The President has made clear his commitment to doing whatever is required to provide the necessary security for U.S. personnel and facilities around the world,” Earnest said. “The request he approved today will allow some previously deployed military personnel to depart Iraq, while at the same time providing a more robust, sustainable security force for our personnel and facilities in Baghdad.”

    The Obama Administration is contemplating expanding the air campaign against ISIS in Iraq and into Syria, but no decisions have been made yet according to officials. Separately, Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Obama counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco are traveling to the region in the coming weeks to build a coalition to take on the extremist group.
