Vlad bitch-slaps us again and Barky turns the other cheek.
From Fox News.
Russian warplanes reportedly bombed a secret military base in Syria used by elite American and British forces last month.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Russian strike on the CIA-linked site was part of a campaign by Russia to pressure the White House to agree to closer cooperation in the Syrian skies, U.S. military and intelligence officials said.
Despite the fact that some forces could have been killed and the bombing dampened relations between Russia and the Pentagon and CIA, the White House and State Department still persued a compromise.
The U.S. and Russia agreed to a pact last week to target airstrikes against the Al Qaeda affiliate in the region – Nusra Front – despite objections from the Pentagon and CIA. Russia agreed to stop airstrikes on U.S.-backed rebels and restrain the Syrian air campaign. The two sides are still talking about designations where Russia would need U.S. approval to conduct an airstrike.
……According to The Wall Street Journal, deal backers in the White House and State Department believe U.S. airstrikes on the Nusra Front in areas that were previously occupied by Russian forces would provide protection for allies in Syria.
However, officials in the Pentagon and CIA contend that Washington bowed to Moscow in the deal and believe that the U.S. needs to confront Russia.
The Russian strike on the base occurred on June 16. The U.S. and British forces help maintain what is described as a buffer zone in Jordan. Forces go into Syria to help protect Jordan from Islamic State, U.S. officials told The Journal. Forces didn’t spend the night, due to security reasons.
Nearly a day before the strike, 20 of 24 British special forces pulled out of the base. The U.S. tracked a Russian plane heading toward the base. The warplane dropped a cluster bomb, according to U.S. and rebel officials.
After the first strike, U.S. central command air operations center in Qatar called Russia’s air campaign headquarters in Latakia, Syria to tell them that the base shouldn’t be attacked.
However, Russian forces struck again nearly 90 minutes after the call was made. Russian pilots didn’t respond to U.S. calls using frequencies the two sides had previously agreed to use in case of an emergency.
……Russian officials initially told the Pentagon that the military thought it was an Islamic State facility, but U.S. officials rejected the notion because of what they described as a unique way the base was fortified, The Journal reported.
Russians then said that the Jordanians had given them the go-ahead to strike the base, but the U.S. double-checked and said no such authorization was given. Later, Russia told the U.S. that their headquarters wasn’t in position to call off the strike because the U.S. didn’t provide them with the proper coordinates of the base.
…..Since the strike, the U.S. has told Russia to steer clear of the Jordanian border.
Yeah, they’re really going to do that.
Russia started an offensive against U.S.-backed Syrian rebels last year with a series of airstrikes, and rekindled their old relationship with Iran. Thanks to Barky’s total failure in the Middle East, there’s a resurgence of Islamofascist aggression coupled with Russia establishing a new foothold in hostile Islamic nation-states.
The United States has been rendered effectively pussified for the duration of Obama’s tenure, and Vlad is going to take full advantage. He is re-arming and building up his weapons stockpiles to levels not seen since the Berlin Wall fell. Oh yeah, and he’s also got the balls to tell the West ‘not to mess with Russia’, something no Russian thug would have gotten away with under Reagan. It’s no wonder Putin is so brazen. Barky gets bitch-slapped by Putin so often, he’s punch drunk.
Hell, when it comes to confronting Russkie aggression, the muzzie Turks have more guts.

Russia is trying to clean up the “Islamofascist” mess that your American policy created, and all you can do is complain when he bombs the bases being used to support Al-Nusra and DAESH with your tax money.
Akira,
Newsflash cupcake: I don’t like any Arab, muslim, Daesh, or for that matter, Obama. This would be my policy: Every Islamofascist country in the Middle East would have been leveled on 12 September 2001, starting with the capitals. Riyadh, Damascus, Kabul, Baghdad, Tehran, ALL of them. Barky’s failed policies in the Middle East, especially his inane kowtowing to muzzie shitbags, and his cowardice in the face of Russkie aggression, have made him an epic embarrassment on a world scale.
So, you’re a Russian “living and working in the USA”:

What’s the matter? Your homeland isn’t appealing to you since Vlad installed himself into the Kremlin? With all that Russkie nationalistic shit you spout, you’d think you’d be in Moscow volunteering for the Red Army.
When you say shit like this: “If there is going to be a war with Russia, then the United States will most certainly be destroyed, and most of us will end up dead.” Keep in mind two things: 1. Barky the clusterfuck won’t be in power much longer. Just because Vlad bitch-slaps him around doesn’t mean the rest of us are as easily bullied. 2. The American military is the best equipped, trained, dedicated, and toughest force on the planet. Period. Expect to be obliterated in return.
A real leader in D.C. would have told Putin that anytime he fires on or threatens an American warship, we will shoot his MiG out of the sky like a clay pigeon. Putin is the one rattling the cage for WWIII between NATO and Russia. He’s an old KGB officer who took Russia right back to the Cold War. He runs a neo-Soviet government. He ratcheted up the rhetoric and threats right from the start. He invaded Georgia and Ukraine, and is trying to establish a foothold in the Middle east with Islamofascist regimes. Syria included.
As I said before: Putin can’t believe his luck. The United States has been rendered effectively pussified for the duration of Obama’s tenure, and he is going to take full advantage. He is re-arming and building up his weapons stockpiles to levels not seen since the Berlin Wall fell. Oh yeah, and he’s also got the balls to tell the West ‘not to mess with Russia’, something no Russian thug would have gotten away with under Reagan.
Enjoy Obama while you can. Come 2017, the chickenshit will be gone. If Trump gets elected, I hope he unscrews every bit of damage Obama has done to our world standing and foreign policy.
Do svidaniya tovarisch.

That post was an obvious re-post of The Saker (a well known Russian commentor), who I am not. Sorry.
As far as all your angry drivel, the country you actually live in and blindly support like a slavering dog is the country that destabilized Syria and opened the front for DAESH and Al-Nusra. This is YOUR mess. (Where do you think DAESH gets TOW missiles?)
Putin is just cleaning it up.
(Oh, and Trump is on our side…)
Akira,
You posted it, so you obviously agree with the content. Barky arms America’s enemies in the Middle East and Putin throws gasoline on the fire. Vlad isn’t “cleaning” anything up. He’s establishing a military presence with the cooperation of Islamic nation states.
If Trump is elected, he’ll be sworn to defend and protect America, not Russia. Who’s side he’ll be on is a matter of perspective.

Right, I agree with the content!
WAKE UP BEFORE WE HAVE A WAR FOOLS!
Akira,
LOL! Not to worry. Barky wouldn’t dream of defending this country by actually fighting back against an attacker or standing up for America’s interests overseas. He cut and run from Iraq and Afghanistan, and gave Iran the green light to make nukes. If Russia wanted to start any shit, they have until January 2017. After that, all bets are off.
