    If he did, I disapprove - you can't telegraph the attack or it severely mitigates the action.

    If China wants to whip NK in line, I suppose it may give them cover with NK?

    Still, the whole 'warning' to Russia, thus Syria sort of waters it down, don't you think? I really am confused at the number of missiles used and limiting of chemical depots. I do understand the not wanting to hit Russians, but it seems that it was far enough in advance to really not limit Syria from repeating use of chemicals. Then what?

    We don't have to pretend we buy your bullshit about 'democratically elected' president Putin. Bullshit!

    Nor do we have to bother with your 'demands/challenges,' nope, we can just say take a flying ....
    Oh, yes! The facts only - the demonstrations in Moscow under palm-trees, sending the 6th US Fleet to the coast of Belarus, the mountains at Rostov-on-Don... all these are the facts indicating the level of your knowledge and arguments.

    Fox is now saying that Russia was given a heads up to get off that airfield... so it appears there was some warning. It would be bad to blow up a bunch of Russian airplanes and personnel, I suppose.

    Condescension doesn't work on me, at least not from the likes of you.

    It's been said before, if you come to share the beauty of your country, fine. If you come to spread your lies and hate for US and its people,

    Fox is saying Russians watched as chemical weapons were loaded onto planes.

    I didn't catch that, though wouldn't be surprised. Then again, likely unnecessary, since it seems the decision was made to avoid any suspected sites where they might have been.

    I've been switching what I've got on TV and mostly using net to find info.

    Very likely next time, if it happen so, Russia may not only shoot down the cruising missiles, but destroy their lunching sites. And this will mean a war.
    I even don't want to imaging the consequences of such a situation.
