I don't think by calling everyone a nitwits and numbskulls that you raised yourself above what you're criticizing, mdinnerspace. There must be a better approach.
Think of France

An upgraded SU-24 was taken down by a AIM-9 Sidewinder heat-seeking missile, 1950s technology.
That has to be a rude surprise for the Russians and their clients.
Where have you got that 'information'? It would be interesting to know, if it is true. Or is it pure 'fantasy'?

From the Washington Times:
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings [White & Democrat] said he’s more afraid of white men committing mass shootings than Syrian refugees committing acts of terrorism in the U.S.
“I am more fearful of large gatherings of young white men that come into schools, theaters and shoot people up, but we don’t isolate young white men on this issue,” Mr. Rawlings said.
Statistically he is right.
"Despite public anxiety about extremists inspired by Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, the number of violent plots by such individuals has remained very low. Since 9/11, an average of nine American Muslims per year have been involved in an average of six terrorism-related plots against targets in the United States. Most were disrupted, but the 20 plots that were carried out accounted for 50 fatalities over the past 13 and a half years.
In contrast, right-wing extremists averaged 337 attacks per year in the decade after 9/11, causing a total of 254 fatalities, according to a study by Arie Perliger, a professor at the United States Military Academy’s Combating Terrorism Center. The toll has increased since the study was released in 2012."

Putin: "The fact that Turkey did not try to contact us in the wake of the incident and rushed to call a NATO meeting instead is worrisome. It appears that Turkey want NATO to serve the interests of IS".
Well, it is clear now that without nuclear weapons Russia would have been in war with NATO, and the US. We are doomed.

Turkey doesnt want anybody to fight ISIS. They want a sunni dominated Syria. Because a sunni dominated Syria wouldnt ally with Iran.
Their enemies are a) Sadat (he's alawi and allied with the shias, esp, Iran) b) the Kurds, who are making their own little country in the NE part of Syria.
This leaves them only with ISIS and al-Nusra as friends in Syria.
So they are trying to mess up the whole anti-ISIS alliance. By creating problems with Russia.

liva I dont think there will be a war.
I think USA (and France) are just as angry with Turkey as Russia are.

But yeah, things are kind of out of control. And feel sorry for you guys in Sweden with your 200.000 refugees. Can't really imagine that turning out very well.

You in Denmark have been much more realistic. But you have had your victims too, sorry to say.
In 2014, our prime minister then, said: "Sweden belongs to the immigrants - not the Swedes".

Yeah but so far the terror thing hasn't been that bad here in spite of the cartoons. 2 dead is cheap compared to Paris.
Seems like your PM is getting his wish. I wonder if there are many Swedes starting considering to move to Denmark?

Well, how about this instead? You can start by 'annexing' Skåneland, as in the good old days lol. If that would happen (fantasy, of course ), what would then Denmark do to 'brighten' things up? Any suggestions are appreciated

We don't want it anymore :) Malmö is going to cost us a fortune.

Too bad the American Left got weak-kneed. We need leaders like this:
Assuming the Kool-aid hasn't killed you by now, here's a memo for you.
The so called decider you reference is the direct cause for the total fiasco happening now in the ME. The smirking chimp is responsible for the greatest foreign policy blunder in the history of the United States.

The world would be far worse off, if it isn't already in deep .... if the numbskulls that are posting here were in charge. The topic is Think of France, you nitwits. Look at yourselves. Ya all no different than the mixed up, bigoted people that you protest so vehemently. Naw ... you just like to squabble, thinking it proves a superiority to your neighbors.
