Er vi over på alle konflikter man har deltatt i nå plutselig?

 

Nei, vi årtusenskiftet eller 2001 er bedre å tidsregne fra.

[ChiaroScuro]

OK, nå blir det nytt advarselspoeng til meg.

Mr.M Du må være sjuk i hue. Du har tatt med FN aksjoner, bistand til å evakuere sivile, beskytte skipsfart osv.

 

Hvorfor tok du ikke med alle steder hvor amerikanske passasjerfly har landet?  I din verden er vel det en "covert operation"?

[biscotti]

Syntes det er morsomt hvordan folk prøver så hardt å sette Russland inn i dårlig lys når det egentlig er USA som står bak det aller meste av provokasjon. Er nok ikke lenge igjen til WW3.

[UglaSukk]

Litt diskusjon her om lister med amerikansk krigføring. En liste som er alt for lang, og en som er alt for kort.

 

Benytter sjansen til litt "folkeopplysning" ( jeg visste ikke selv om dette før jeg googlet nå ) om Laos. ( Som altså ikke er med på den korte listen ) :

 

"Between 1964 and 1973, the United States dropped around 2.5 million tons of bombs on Laos. While the American public was focused on the war in neighboring Vietnam, the US military was waging a devastating covert campaign to cut off North Vietnamese supply lines through the small Southeast Asian country. 

 

The nearly 600,000 bombing runs delivered a staggering amount of explosives: The equivalent of a planeload of bombs every eight minutes for nine years, or a ton of bombs for every person in the country—more than what American planes unloaded on Germany and Japan combined during World War II. Laos remains, per capita, the most heavily bombed country on earth."

 

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/03/laos-vietnam-war-us-bombing-uxo

 

Kambodsja er heller ikke på den korte listen. ( Bare en halv million pluss drept. )

 

"The United States dropped upwards of 2.7 million tons of bombs on Cambodia, exceeding the amount it had dropped on Japan during WWII (including Hiroshima and Nagasaki) by almost a million tons. During this time, about 30 per cent of the country's population was internally displaced.

 

Estimates vary widely on the number of civilian casualites inflicted by the campaign; however,as many as 500,000 people died as a direct result of the bombings while perhaps hundreds of thousands more died from the effects of displacement, disease or starvation during this period."

Antallet blir mindre viktig enn hensikt og formål som må være det avgjørende for om bruk av militær makt kan legitimeres.

 

 

Så NAZI Tyskland sin bruk av makt var legitim? NATO alliansen har siden 2001 vært direkte ansvarlig for over en million døde, de har ledet til flere millioner døde, millioner av skadede og hvis familiemedlemmer er drept og hvis materiale verdier ruinert, titalls millioner på flukt, 5 land i ruin/borgerkrig og en hel verden påvirket negativt. Hvordan i huleste kan du rettferdiggjøre det?

 

I tillegg er NATO ansvarlig for IS og alt IS resulterer i. Det var USA sin krig og USA sine initiativ i Syria som resulterte i IS.

 

 

Du er på ville veier om du ser på Nazismen og NATO som to sider av samme sak, akkurat det blir mer komisk enn noe annet.

 

Det som derimot ikke blir komisk i det hele tatt er at du velter deg rundt i den gamle usmakelige venstreradikale maschosismen og faktisk mener "vi" er ansvarlig for den religiøse masse-psykosen som utspiller seg, i dette tilfelle i form av sadistiske IS. De står jo  tross alt for det stikk motsatte av hva vi definerer som vårt verdigrunnlag i Norge og vesten og jeg kan opplyse deg om at det var nok ikke var verken USA eller NATO som skrev doktrinene i Wahhabismen som disse svina følger slavisk...

 

Men nice try, selv om jeg vil anbefale deg å ikke ta IS i forsvar sånn uten videre, det klinger litt dårlig i øra til alle normale opplyste mennsker.

In my view så er det bare en av disse du ramser opp her som speiler ondskap slik jeg definerer det, mens minst to av dem prøver å bekjempe det så godt de kan men med varierende hell som fører til at så mange mistolker agendaen deres.

Derfor har Putin rett når han sier Tyrkia ikke kjemper fullt ut mot IS

Sier meg enig med Aftenposten her:

 

 

 

De bare skraper i overflaten.

 

"In a recent article in the Guardian, Professor David Graeber of the London School of Economics stated how “Back in August, the YPG, fresh from their victories in Kobani and Gire Spi, were poised to seize Jarablus, the last Isis-held town on the Turkish border that the terror organisation had been using to resupply its capital in Raqqa with weapons, materials, and recruits – Isis supply lines pass directly through Turkey.” Graeber added: “Commentators predicted that with Jarablus gone, Raqqa would soon follow. Erdoğan reacted by declaring Jarablus a “red line”: if the Kurds attacked, his forces would intervene militarily – against the YPG. So Jarablus remains in terrorist hands to this day, under de facto Turkish military protection.”

[L4r5]

Det har vært en del frem og tilbake om hva som skjedde under nedskytningen. Dette er hva jeg har funnet på et annet forum om saken:

 

There were two Su-24s: underway at 6,000m altitude (18,000+ ft) they entered the area within 15km from border to Hatay Province in Turkey. Turkish AF began airing warnings in accordance with their ROEs ('no combat ops within 15km from our border are tollerated') - which were publicly announced to Moscow over one month ago. Russians ignored warnings and Sukhois made their third run - this time in direction of Turkish airspace, which they briefly violated too - one of two F-16s airborne over Hatay fired a single AIM-120. Approx from Russian's 2 o'clock position and a range beyond 5 miles.



One Su-24 was shot down, the other was left to distance.



So, no 'Sidewinders' and surely no 'stabbing attack in the back', i.e. from '6 o'clock'.

Re. missile used: I know everybody says 'AIM-9', but no way. This was a BVR shot, apparently by two AIM-120C-7s, one of which missed.

Namely, the F-16 was quite far away, and the Russians flying perpendicular to it (range 15-20km, Sukhois up-sun and F-16s at their 2 o'clock). Those informed about weaknesses of pulse-Doppler radars in relation to targets 'in beam' to them, should know what a complex shoot this was (and why all the theories about 'conspiracies' and 'ambush' are little else but wet dreaming by... sigh... trolls).

Plus, the Russian formation leader turned away - apparently right after the F-16 fired. That's why 'only' one was shot down.

(BVR = Beyond Visual Range)

 

You guys certainly know your stuff, I thought I was the only one getting the paper plate!

If your 15- 20 miles firing range for the AIM 120 C7's is correct ( I will not ask how you know) the flight time of the missiles must have been what, 40 seconds or so?

The AIM 120 C7 is one of the wests best missiles and it got 50% hit rate. I know you said difficut shot at 2 o'Clock. That also must mean the F16's were well inside Turkey.

Thats a better picture than on any news report I have seen.

Wikipedia om nevnte missiler:
AIM 9 "Sidewinder"
AIM 120 "Amramm"

 

 

 

Jeg kan ikke si noe om hvor sannferdig dette er, men ut fra tidligere poster fra Bruker 1 så virker han å kunne en del om disse tingene.

[Tåkefyrste]

USA er onde, Russland er onde, NATO er onde og IS er onde. Hvorfor krangle om hvem som er værst? Pest eller kolera.

 

Folk må slutte å polarisere alt og innse at alle lands myndigheter er kyniske drittsekker som bruker sivile som verdiløse brikker i et spill hvor mer makt er alt som betyr noe...

 

Og ikke minst, norge er onde.

[sungun]

Yup, alle har blod på hendene.

[ATWindsor]

Er det noe spesielt som tyder på at dette ikke er en avgjørelse som ble tatt på relativt lavt nivå? Dvs ikke-politisk nivå?

 

AtW

[L4r5]

Mer nytt om hendelsesforløpet:

 

 

One update (about 30min old): the F-16 pilot prepared attack on two aircraft, but fired only one AIM-120C-7 after all.

 

That one went for the second Sukhoi - and this because it did not turn away (from Turkish airspace). 

 

The lead Sukhoi was not targeted - precisely becasuse it turned away.

 

Moreover: Turks did track the two Sukhois right since their take-off, but didn't know they were Russian, and never VID-ed them (their ROEs did not demand VID). Namely, on 15 October, Deputy C-in-C VKS, Sergey Dronov visited Ankara, and a special comms channel between the THK and VKS was agreed in order to prevent further airspace violations. This channel was agreed because older VKS types - like Su-24M - do not have the internationally used guard channel.

 

When the Turks began warning these two Su-24s, they aired warnings on both of these channels: on the guard, and on that 'special' one. 'No response' led the THK to conclusion that the incoming Sukhois are not Russian, but Syrian.

 

VID = Visual Identification

ROE = Rules of engagement

THK = Tyrkiske luftforsvaret

VKS = Usikker på denne. Si fra om noen kan det.
