I agree.  There is no room for the truth in network news. 

 

You can make the same point polity and professionally without resorting to name calling. A simple 'President Obama's response was weak, ineffective and lacked the strong leadership we need from a President.' for example.

 

There is no dialog anymore, just name calling and yelling. YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHAT.

You are so sensitive.

 

Fox news called him on it, and he apologized.  That said, there are large cross sections of the US population that agree with his sentiment.  One significant cross section is the majority of the US military.

Military members are right winged, want to blow everything up and hate liberals? Well that is a shocker.

negative, military personnel, while generally a bit more conservative, are nicely divided in thirds: Democrat, Republican and Independant. Although I do think preferences shift a bit after completing service, the percents don't vary very much.

 

edit: did get the blow things up part correct

 

edit again: also perhaps noticed military personnel tend to shift to independant after combat experiences. Open to change in political affiliation.

I learn something new. The area overflown by the Russian aircraft, is the Hatay province of Syria, that declared independence in 1939 and aligned itself with Turkey instead of Syria. On Syrian maps, it probably shows as Syrian territory.

This also means, if Turkey gets involved across the border in Syria, they risk losing this Hatay province back to Syria, with Russia's help. Russia still wants some payback. Note that if Turkey attacks, that would not invoke NATO rules. They're on their own. When Turkey invaded Cyprus, same deal, they were on their own.

Quote

Hatay was annexed by Turkey from Syria in 1939 after the province opted for independence from Damsacus. Syria has never accepted this but never forcefully challenged Turkey on it for various reasons.
