Then... Russia does, what Russia always does: Reverts to their Historical Incompetency. Yes. Russians has their special view of history. Russian rulers and their closest colleagues have felt for centuries that they were in competition with their neighbors. In fact, the Russian words for "competition" and "jealousy" — "sorevnovaniye" and "revnost" — have the same root. Senior Russian officials have always been jealous of the successes and achievements of those in the West and looked down on everyone else.http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/kremlin-sees-russians-as-expendable/539793.html Another wierd view of the Russian people. Thirty-six percent of Russians blame the U.S. and its actions for Middle Eastern immigrants and refugees pouring into the European Union, a survey by the state-run pollster VTsIOM revealed Monday.http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/more-than-one-third-of-russians-blame-us-for-eu-migrant-crisis--poll/539774.html |

Almost 80 percent of Russia's' declared targets in Syria have been in areas not held by Islamic State, a Reuters analysis of Russian Defense Ministry data shows, undermining Moscow's assertions that its aim is to defeat the group. Instead it belonged to the forces fighting against the Syrian incumbent President Bashar al-Assad. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dn.se%2Fnyheter%2Fvarlden%2Fnya-analyser-ryssland-bombar-andra-an-is%2F&edit-text= The conflict in Syria has gone from peaceful anti-government protests over domestic conflict into something that touches a world war.

What Russia’s Own Videos and Maps Reveal About Who They Are Bombing In Syria Kasparov claims Putin is a lot of bluster and doesn't actually have a strong hand. So, Syria could become Russia's second Afghanistan? We might not learn, but it seems USSR/now Russia might not learn from the past, either. |

We might not learn, but it seems USSR/now Russia might not learn from the past, either. Russians dwells in history. There was delegation of swedish officers visiting Russia some years ago and one met one Russian officer. The russian officer said that the Swede officer was guilty of his fathers death. He said it was because Sweden exported iron to Germany during WWII and that they build tanks from it and that was that killed him. Russia's second Afghanistan? Who knows? There are now so many parties in the conflict... |

He is correct. When was the last time you won a guerrilla war with 'extreme and effective' force? Oh right, never. |

Right now a viral video are spreading that is said to show how Swedish state TV Childrens Channel glorifies the terrorist group Islamic State. "Swedish state TV airs children's program glorifying ISIS" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L83rA4FAScA&feature=youtu.be&a The gesture with the index finger has nothing to do with the IS. It's been around long before the IS. It is a testimony of monotheism in Islam, says Mohammed Fazelhashemi, professor of Islamic theology and philosophy at Uppsala University. The index finger is used by Sunni Muslims during prayer and is linked to the Muslim creed. The children are singing "We are one", "We have one voice" hence the index finger. It's strange that the video even have been commented by one Pamela Geller in the US and now many thinks we have IS-propaganda on TV:) http://pamelageller.com/2015/10/video-swedish-state-tv-airs-childrens-program-glorifying-isis.html/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter |

Мишель... Against a guerrilla insurrection? Nah, America has never won one of those. The examples you want me to cite don't exist. Oh and you did use 'extreme and effective' force in Vietnam. It just never worked out well. |
Мишель Send message Joined: 26 Nov 13 Posts: 3073 Credit: 87,868 RAC: 0 |
Wrong. You said you are talking about after Vietnam and given that you said it was against Muslims its somewhere between the Balkans and South East Asia. You also said it was against a guerrilla insurrection. Well, I'm telling you, in this time frame, in this geographical area, the United States has not fought and won from Muslim insurrectionists. The few wars that were fought in that area and that the US actually won have all been against functional states (first Gulf War, Yugoslav War, Libya) meaning it was a conventional war. But by all means, do name the conflicts you're talking about. |

Wrong. Beyond means outside of, not after. |
Мишель Send message Joined: 26 Nov 13 Posts: 3073 Credit: 87,868 RAC: 0 |
Wrong. The dictionary disagrees with you. Besides would be 'outside of'. Unless you were playfully pointing out Clyde's somewhat dubious use of the English language. |

Мишель... Clyde you made an assertion would you please back it up. |

Wrong. Please. Stop. This serves nothing. Your own link includes: 1. Farther along or away. So, beyond this side show ("in addition to" and "more than" this side show and "further long" and "away" from this side show) let us return to "a place" of the discussion where the real points are. |

Clyde you made an assertion in response to Message 1738016. Would you please back it up. If you are unable to you should control your keyboard better. |
Мишель Send message Joined: 26 Nov 13 Posts: 3073 Credit: 87,868 RAC: 0 |
Beyond, means outside of. So you are claiming you haven't won just one, but TWO wars against Muslim insurrectionists in Europe? |
Мишель Send message Joined: 26 Nov 13 Posts: 3073 Credit: 87,868 RAC: 0 |
Beyond, means outside of. Hmm, conflict in the Philippines, in particular that little fight with the Moro's? It wouldn't surprise me if America avoids talking about its role in the Philippines. You guys come out of that one looking like Nazis. Putting people in concentration camps, starving them to death. And that little conflict with the Moro's is hardly an insurrection, let alone a guerrilla war. |
