I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: Open war has now essentially broken out between Israel and Syria. Israel confirms through its IDF spokesperson that it has carried out "a large scale attack" consisting of at least a dozen strikes on Syrian and Iranian military targets inside Syria. What we previously described as Assad's strategic "waiting game" and reluctance to respond to repeat Israeli violations of Syrian airspace while launching unprovoked attacks appears to be over as Syrian air defense has shot down an Israeli F-16 fighter jet near the Golan border region in what is a major escalation in the conflict. Though details remain murky and are still developing, Israel has confirmed that its F-16 jet has crashed in Israeli territory after it was struck carrying out operations targeting locations in Syria. The IDF spokesman quickly stated in a tweet confirming the shoot down that "Iran is responsible for this severe violation of Israeli sovereignty." .... Beirut-based Al Masdar News reports that the incident occurred at approximately 6:30 A.M. Saturday morning (local time) and that the Israeli F-16 fighter was hit while flying within Syrian airspace near Damascus.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Me You're kidding right? Or is that a real attempt to save face for Russia? Either way, sad Air supremacy is a position in war where a side holds complete control of air warfare and air power over opposing forces. And that my fried would be Israel and the U.S. The Russian air force watched these two raids from the ground. I would add, from inside bunkers. Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: Cites? Or just more of your usual lies? Me again Now you want cites. There was no air battle dummy, cite that. Unless you want us to believe Russia did assist Syria. With the results being what they were I doubt you want to make that claim. Do you? OH please tell me you do. T

Quote:2 Where were their Russian ally's during both attacks?
Quote: 3 Finally, how can you even suggest that with these results Israel doesn't enjoy air superiority over Syria? Even when the Russian air force is there in strength.
Quote: Netanyahu told Putin he will attack Syria whenever it suits him.

Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: 4 jets sent, 1 downed claims it destroyed 'half' of air defenses - whatever that means strikes were reported around Damascus and southern Syria - other stories indicate new anti-aircraft defenses were just established in northern Syria It looks like they're ging to have to deploy more in the rest of Syria now.

I'm waiting for kiki to answer my questions. We both know that ain't gonna happen, but it's documented for posterity. For future generations sig. Hey, perhaps Yale and or Oxford, can research our conversations in real world for a study. You know, about how the biased, those who troll and Russian bots collaborated here. Yet despite this collaboration, when they were debated by mainstream folk, honest folk, their propaganda was picked apart, proven wrong. Without doubt this study would show these honest folk destroyed all the purveyors of the fake and spiteful. By simply sticking to the facts time proved them right time and time again. What do ya think comrade troll? I'm excited just thinking about it, how about you?
