Meanwhile, In The Skies Above ISIS' Capital...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Judging by these photos taken moments ago above the Islamic State (i.e. ISIS) capital of Raqqa, a triggerhappy remote-control operator in Whiteman Air Force Base is about to get jiggy with some jihadists located nearly 7000 miles away.

 

Needless to say, if readers spot one of these flying casually in the skies overhead, running fast may be a good strategy...

Can we at least try & keep in touch with reality please?

Obama is the prez, McCain is a senator.

The former has a cabinet member on his staff by the name of John Brennan, he's the Director of the CIA. He's also got a few generals working for him that direct other people to kill other people at the prez's discretion, when they can get him focused on something besides golf & fundraising.

The latter has a staff of guys with ties who are mostly concerned with having him say incredibly stupid things and being photographed with bad guys because they oppose another bad guy, which makes them good guys (through their myopic political lens) but they and he hold no real power outside of being one vote among a hundred votes in the senate.

You're welcome.

but they and he [McCain] hold no real power outside of being one vote among a hundred votes in the senate.

I used to believe that myself, up until a few weeks ago. Apparently McCain has his scrawny little Tyrannosaurid arms pulling levers in NGOs. These NGOs are what has been behind multiple regime changes and attempted regime changes.

Sorry for the delay, Mrs.N had a bad day, first things first...lol.

Thierry Meyssan has his opinion and is making an assertion, without any factual evidence. He also said Gaddaf's forces were in control of Tripoli (with his own eyes I might add) when they were fact losing and being driven out of town, he announced this to Russia Today. It may have been what he wanted to see but it wasn't reality.

But to the point, clandestine operations are not normally carried out by well known sitting senators with photographers in tow to capture his every move (for obvious reasons) so it doesn't make much sense, makes wonderful propaganda though, just sayin.

McCain can be accused of being an absolute fool for rushing in where angels fear to tread but that doesn't vaccinate Meyssan against being untrustworthy.

This is not an apology for McCain being stupid, its just a recognition that he is stupid. Abu Du’a (al-BagHead, aka the caliph...lol) was/is fighting Assad.

Kinda like me, against both Putin & Obama, very few are intelligent enough to figure that out ;-)

As was his father too.  They've been at the trough a long, long time.   I guess if John wasn't such an inept pilot or hadn't burned down the Forrestal he might have made it too.

 

John Sidney McCain, Jr. (January 17, 1911–March 22, 1981) was a four star admiral in the United States Navy. His father John S. McCain, Sr. was also a four star admiral in the Navy, and his son John S. McCain III is a US Senator representing Arizona and former Naval aviator Captain.

"So McCain went to Syria cuz he wuz stupid huh? That's your genius analysis?"

John McCain is a headline seeking politician who fancies himself a military strategist and expert on ME culture & philosophy. Just because someone flew a fighter jet does not make them worthy to command those who fly fighters. What the idiot McCain (and fully three quarters of DC or Brussels for that matter) do not realize about the ME is, your ally tonight can easily be your enemy tomorrow morning. Their sense of allegiance and loyalty is not the same as a westerners nor are their motive(s) for any temporary alliance always conveyed openly.

Now look at where we are on this little diddy of a thread. McCains dad was not a judge, he was an admiral, a fact easily verified yet Dilbert above got arrowed up by some ignoramous. I could lie to make my point as easily as the next guy but I refuse to. I could cling to some cockeyed conspiracy theory no matter how groundless because it comports with my world view but that would make me as delusional as Hillary saying she was flat broke.

The fact of the matter is, the Obama administration thought they could do in Syria what it did in Libya, that is to say, arm "local militias" and provide some air power to get rid of Assad, a torturing, mass murdering dictator by anyones standard. McCain (with blindfold fully in place around his head) went to Syria not fully understanding the lesson of Benghazi only eight months previous, that alliances in the ME are fleeting and this administration will hang anyone out to dry in a New York minute just like them. There are elements of the Free Syria Army who hold western values & understanding, that is, respect for the rule of law & secular but they are in the minority just as they are throughout the muslim world.

But for some its much easier to believe a sitting senator (whose face is known world wide) is the real puppet master and went on a super secret mission to Syria, with photographers...lol.

Now look...if there's a left-tard reflexionary liberal around here, its me. GFarkkin' don't cut any mustard in our house - too reactionary and uninformed. So far as Nmewn goes, he's one of the only conservatives on ZH with the education and intelligence to have something worthwhile to say. I know, because I know who pisses me off, and Gaius old boy, you have more points on that score than NM will ever earn. 

If there's anything gleaned from years of reading this blodge, its that the racist phobic nihilist crowd should all be sent to work for ISIS, so the rest of us can sit across the fence from each other and trade ideas about how to actually improve our situation. This left/right bullshit is just that. We are all equally faced with the same problem- criminal cartels have usurped all government, especially in the US. Two more election cycles and the 'freedom' gig will be completely up. 

At the end of the day, John McCain is a fucking coward and a traitor, which neither his dad nor granddad were. Were it not for his granddad, John would have been thrown out of the military at least three times before he ever went to 'Nam. Fact is, he's just another politician put in power by people who believe their TV sets. That, and all the rest that came after, is OUR fault. 

So who ya gonna call?

That sounds cruel. But something much, much crueler may eventually happen.

The bigger picture: Mohammed made a revision of his new religion from a gentle religion to one of conquest. This naturally made it blow up and gave Mohammed all of his power and legacy, until he revised it, he was languishing as a wanna-be prophet with few followers. I think that this change may be an historical singularity that has yet to unfold:

The co-existence of destructive modern technology and a religion that can be interpreted to justify butchery may be impossible. Even if Islamists get their hands on just a few nukes (or are given them by others) it may plunging every western country into chaos. Even without spectacular events, a steady peppering of chaos and attacks will eventually cause a real backlash, which means all the PC chains come off and a strong man with hundreds of nukes considers this question very seriously: can civilization and Islam coexist as anythings short of global Sharia law? Even if 99.9% of Muslims never kill anyone, the fact is that a small number seek to establish Sharia worldwide and will kill anyone who stands in their way - they believe they are commanded by God to do so and will be rewarded for killing. To date that ideological cancer has been tolerable because of technological disparity. That disparity will probably continue but will eventually be rendered irrelevant by treachery or the advance in desructiveness. The dissappearance of that disparity may mark the end of civilization, or at least the end of any kind of democracy. Only strong men wil hold power. no one else will be trusted. I realize that the west has  ginned up a lot of the recent mayhem, but the seeds are permanently in Islam.

If humanity is around for a long enough time, we may eventually ask if Islam itself and civilization are compatible, since it seems to always generate a number of highly motivated murderers capable of attracting a lot of followers. It may be that the end of this finds either a world under Sharia law, or a world trying to somehow burn every Quran and stuff the rest of Islam down the memory hole.

Yeah, best I can tell, the same is true of Christians. Islam and Christianity have promoted more murder, rape and genocide than any other group in history. Trouble is, religion isn't about God. Accepting the truth about yourself is a requirement if you plan to accurately judge others. Because, you know-karma's a bitch.

Running only makes you die tired. It's also the stupid option - Hellfires are laser guided. Just grab a high-powered laser pointer and point it somewhere else, while at the same time dropping a smoke grenade on yourself.

The laser energy on you diffuses, and the energy elsewhere is picked up by the missile. Easy peasy.

Perhaps even a teenage punk drone could be effective. That's one which flies up behind the other drone and jams a couple/three potatoes up the tailpipe, runs to a good observation point, watches as the target drone's engine sputters and conks out, and then flies by it laughing.

Certainly more effective than the young teenage nuisance drone, which would only go up to the target drone when nobody was looking and put stones inside of the hubcaps.

The inability for groups under drone attack to find ways to either shoot down or to disrupt the drone in operation amazes me! These are not fast and they can be heard at distance. Visible, means that a guided weapon like a simple MANPAD should be able to knock these down. Libya, Iraq and other nations have seens thousands of very capable MANPADS go missing. These use a heat sensor, but there should be other terminal targeting methods.

Well, anti aircraft warfare isn't my field, mine was Anti Submarine Warfare. But still, electronic jamming, of drone or even missile once in flight, or MANPAD hits on the Drone. I just don't see, how in 2014, these simple upscaled model planes can fly immune.  Maybe some veteran with Anti Aircraft Warfare experience can chime in and explain these things ablities to fly around at slow speed and visible and hearable, yet be untouchable. Russia made short work of Georgia's drones, but they used MIG with Air to Air missile to shoot down NATO's drone fleet when they attacked Ossetia in the middle of the night, shelling the capital city, much like NATO has shelled Donetsk for months. And, let's be honest, the Ukie army does nothing without approval and command of Obama and his NATO pals, sitting up nights with their kill lists and target package data. Stalin, in modern form. Obama's name will live in infamy, like Bush, as a man of limitless evil and murderous intent. Bastard!
