Hillary’s threat to the Russians

We know the Hildabeast is bellicose. For a woman whose gender is supposed to be about cooperation, she is as competitive as any male. She engineered the death of Gaddafi who, for all his faults, was on our side at last. But now, incredibly, she’s talking about threatening the Russians, who have the nuclear arsenal Iran can only dream about.

Her major declared threat to them is to impose a no-fly zone over Syria, the same idea her husband Slick Willie championed and imposed on Iraq back in the 90s. But except for a few Turkish and other fighter-bombers over Syria, the majority of fliers and their aircraft are Russian.

Which explains why Putin’s government has been running civil defense exercises and talking about nuclear war. Even to the point of mentioning (at length) their new RS-28 Sarmat missile, dubbed the Satan 2, whose seventeen nuclear warheads they have pointedly claimed could wipe out a geographical area the size of Texas.

The Democrats are running new campaign ads claiming Trump would start a nuclear war, but other than a few naive remarks about nuclear weapons, he hasn’t threatened the only other nuclear power of any significance. Only the Democrat candidate has done that.

Not that the Russians likely would waste an RS 28 on us. Well, maybe on Houston with its oil terminals, which might takeout Louisiana, Arkansas and parts of Mississippi. More likely they would all go to the east and west coasts: DC, NYC, and LA. Maybe Felonia would figure that out in time and not let the confrontation get too hot.

She’s a notorious liar, after all, as well as a criminal. Maybe her no-fly zone is just more campaign bullshit, like her phony plan to tax the rich. We can only hope.

Sanity returns to the Air Force

The A-10 Thunderbolt II’s retirement is being rethunk. Good news for the groundpounders, for whom air support from the fast movers always was problematic.

I once flagged a passing F-4 Phantom for air support and was shocked to watch it fling a 250-pounder (the smallest bomb it had at the time) farther than desired: right into the outskirts of a friendly village. The Thunderbolt II, whose pilots call it the Warthog, carries only 10-pounder rockets, in addition to its 30mm rotary nose cannon, and is slow enough to be a lot more accurate.

“Air Force maintainers are also preparing to replace the wings of the A-10 fleet, tapping a $2 billion contract originally awarded to Boeing in 2007, which was intended at the time to keep the fleet flying until 2028. Some corrosion of the planes has been seen at the depots, but Pawlikowski says this is to be expected, especially on an aircraft that has been in service since 1977.”

Their wings likely corrode faster because they fly low and (relatively) slow and stir up and collect a lot of dirt, dust and vegetative derbis. The Warthog could do a lot more damage to ISIS than any fast mover. Sure wish we’d had them in Vietnam.

Adding insult to injury

Bad enough our Little Barry Hussein pulled the rug out from under their victory. Now his Pentagon is demanding that California’s Iraq veterans repay enlistment bonuses paid to them.

“These bonuses were used to keep people in,” said Christopher Van Meter, a 42-year-old former Army captain and Iraq veteran from Manteca, Calif., who says he refinanced his home mortgage to repay $25,000 in reenlistment bonuses and $21,000 in student loan repayments that the Army says he should not have received. “People like me just got screwed.”

Rules are for the little people, as usual, while Felonia and the rest of the Ruling Class skate. We can be sure this will go a long way to keeping up the confidence of the volunteer military.

UPDATE:  Just in time for the election, Pentagon is “suspending” demand for the money. No word whether it will be permanent or whether those who already paid will get a refund.

Opec hates gays

I’ve never been a gay-worrier, much less a gay hater. If they want to marry in churches or synagogues and they can find one that will do it, it’s all the same to me. Likewise getting a wedding cake, tho I don’t want bakers to be unable to refuse.

And these ads for Canadian oil are brilliant. This hot lesbian print ad apparently has succumbed to the usual PC b.s. but the video one about males seems to be still running. About time someone hit back at the muzzies and their lethal bigotry.

Daddy Bush’s Junkyard of Popped Hoods

highway-of-death-iraq-56

1991’s so-called “highway of death,” Muslim exaggeration worthy of Pallywood at its most pathetic. Of course the leftist American snooze media ate it whole. Those dastardly American soldiers, may their name be erased!

“Obama doesn’t win wars. He lies about them.”

So says Sultan Knish who continues: “Obama has been playing tactical word games over ISIS all along. He would ‘degrade and ultimately destroy’ ISIS. Or perhaps dismantle the Islamic State. Or maybe just contain it.

“Containment is closest to the truth. Obama has no plan for defeating ISIS. Nor is he planning to get one any time soon. There will be talk of multilateral coalitions. Drone strikes will take out key figures. And then when this impressive war theater has died down, ISIS will suddenly pull off another attack.”

Meanwhile, Obamalot has been busy changing the names of the enemy. Two, three times. If this doesn’t confuse things enough, Wormtongue counts on you not remembering what he said.

The Sultan does.

Barry throws the Kurds under the bus

Our Little Barry Hussein is outdoing himself on the world stage. First LBH, aka Wormtongue, tells us he’s fighting ISIS with all his might. Then we learn he’s actually pulling our punches. Now, as they wait for his pal Erdogan’s Turkish army to attack, the Worm  is blocking shipments of heavy weapons to the Kurds.

If the Kurds would just pull back a little from their successful assaults on ISIS and, not incidentally, dump their few Christians (as well as the ones who have fled to them from ISIS) and become pure Muslim, well… That might do it for our mendacious Democrat president. He’s always willing to help good Muslims.
