Just wondering... did that F-16block50/52 upgrade we sold the Turkish Air Force include the remote disable feature?

I'm starting to smell the possibility of an undeclared but defacto partial alignment of purpose between the YPG and Assad. Stranger things have happened before.

They maybe on to something over there. Things are so confused that you need a Flow Chart to follow who you're supposed to be fighting for and against and by the time you know who to kill, you can't because everybody's switched sides again. So... Peace.  :clap:

This is why I think the neo-cons who believe that US military power can solve everything have not studied history.  No vital US interests, very confusing factions, stay away from direct combat.

That aught to calm things down over there...




I hope the pilot is ok and safe. I also hope that the MANPAD used was non-US made so the Russians don't go apeshit.

Can't imagine what that pilot had to go through.

 Is it wrong that I dont give a shit because hes russian?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
