That's not quite how it works in situations like this. There's a very large difference, politically speaking, between "this is a no fly zone and we will shove an AMRAAM or two up your ass if you come through here", and "We're just chilling in this area watching out for our people on the ground with the most advanced air superiority planes in the world and maybe your old russian attack planes don't want to be around"

Yes, because first one is legally initiated by UN and second one is a de-facto military invasion.

The US is not in a habit of declaring war on nations, only things like drugs and terrorism and other such.

Still, should you capture any US military personnel doing military stuff in your country, they will insist you treat them as prisoners of war, rather than giving them a very lengthy jail sentence for espionage/ or whatever.

Still, it's not like US authorities are any less hypocritical when dealing with its own citizens, so whatever.

>>31049050
Fighter pilots are alone in a way which other in the military aren't. So they can't find strength in others to the same degree, confidence in themselves must carry the day instead.

This means the psychological profile of the ideal pilot will be somewhat special.

An extremely limited one, but yeah. With the american advisers far away from the reach of Syria's ground forces, and with F-22's flexing in the air, there's the age old question of "what you gonna do about it, faggot?"

>>31049120
Don't you have to have some way of separating yourself from civvies and showing that you are actually a combatant?
>>
>>31049276
Generally, you have to have some kind of identifying mark (lets say your insurgent group wears red bandanas or whatever), but it can be concealed until you actually start fighting.
The conventions are surprisingly permissive on some things.

Those are USA men doing USA things. We are not openly at war with Syria and simply told them to fuck off and leave our guys alone or else.

Syria is barely in control of their own territory, they have all kinds of nations and insurgents running around and the USA being there is generally the least of their problems.

>Syrians has all legal rights to shoot down any foreign military aircraft in their fucking airspace.

Those guys are so far from groups like Jaysh al Islam and Al Nusra it isn't even funny. Not to mention like most of the not-hardcore-islamists its fucking tiny. Hell they're skirmishing with Al Nusra.

Syrian rebels come in 3 breeds.

>Mujaheddin armies
>Smaller, less Islamist local rebel militias, usually raised locally and motivated by the defense of their town/city/neighborhood, may be part of a larger confederacy but don't maneuver like the actual armies.
>Kurdistani and other ethnic armies.

The kind of rebels the US benefits from arming are a loose confederacy of local militias that are not as combat effective as the larger, organized, mujaheddin armies or ethnic armies.

So the US instead threw shit to the Kurds because Turkey will get over it once they're done crying a river of salt.
>>

The Kurds have always been the most based group in the region. Especially things like the effort to rescue the Yazidi ethnoreligious group from ISIS genocide.

having spent $62 billion on dedicated next gen a2a platform, americans have acquired airplane capable of deterring 1970s soviet low-level strike attack aircraft used by half non-existant arab air force in half-abandoned desert country engulfed in a five-year civil war. without a doubt, this day will go down in history as one of the most astonishing achievements and heroic triumphs of american arms, along with package q strike in iraq and destruction of communist sam missile in serbia

Potentially gruesome collateral in the form of dead women and children, and less-than-rock-solid intelligence, does no constitute a plate.

Conversely, Obama WAS offered bin Laden on a plate. But that was as a result of his own administration's two-year long intelligence gathering effort, which created circumstances where they knew they had him dead to rights--and that still required Obama to make the decision to impose on the sovereignty of a nominal ally (the one that Bush spent years buttering up, and gave him nothing on bin Laden for his troubles).

One (1) citizen was held in Guantanamo for less than 2 months before being transferred stateside, and that was only because his US citizenship wasn't known about at the time of his capture--in Afghanistan, where he was fighting for the Taliban.

This isn't to defend Guantanamo, which I've been saying is an aberration since well before anybody on /k/ thought so.

Russian interventions in both Ukraine and Syria are contrary to popular uprisings in both those countries.

There was a revolution by people demanding an end to the autocratic Assad regime and conversion to a democratic system. Sure, it all fell apart when he decided he was totally okay with killing his own people, but that was the stated objective.
>>
>>31055474
Bullshit, it was being provoked by the same people who started the "people's uprisings" in Libya and Egypt, utilizing Islamic theocratic shitstains.
Assad knew that it would only end with a boxcutter up his ass.

Please tell me, if the operation had gone sideways due to any number of the reasons it could have gone sideways (actually not bin Laden, quick response by Pakistan to an incursion right next to their military academy, civilian casualties, helicopter cra- wait, that actually happened), who would be blamed? The team that went in, or the president who ordered them to go there?

I'm saying when it comes to the dictator and the islamic fundies who oppose him, I'd rather deal with the dictator. I don't care if he gasses Muslims by the truckload to keep that country stable, because the last thing we need is another sharia ruled shithole.

The record of the uprisings is pretty clear, as were their demands. Sure, groups like the Muslim Brotherhood backed the uprisings, complete with an expectation that they would get a slice of the reformed political pie, but that didn't make them the default winners if it were successful. They only won the election in Egypt because the secular choices were either old guard military similar to what they just overthrew and a secular democratic guy that was disappointing to other secular democratic people, splitting the vote. That ended badly for them explicitly because they pushed so hard for their way that even the secularists were okay with going back to military rule.


That paradigm doesn't apply to Libya, which is mostly a bunch of tribal bullshit.

Damn son, all those suicide bombing Christians in the streets.
Actually, you gave a great example. The difference between the two is that in Christianity you're acting against the religion itself while in Islam you're following the rules down to the letter. In other words, a beheading and raping mass murderer is the very definition of a Muslim while you couldn't be further from it in Christianity. And you thought you were so clever.

It's a bit selective to point out their words that mean "lying" as if it means anything. Like, fuck, I try to be as honest as I can, and deceit by omission is something I'll literally do for kicks (yeah I don't have much luck with women) or to gauge how a person might feel about something (I know a bit about guns, watched a few documentaries). If I'm telling an interviewer that I quit my last job to search for a more flexible job, which is true since I did want something more flexible, when in reality it was mostly because I hated my job and basically ragequit out of spite towards my employers, it exactly fits the language requirements to be "kitman".

There are so many better points you could use against islam than their differing definitions of "lying/liar". Maybe their shitty nepotistic hierarchy or something.

>Conversely, Obama WAS offered bin Laden on a plate. But that was as a result of his own administration's two-year long intelligence gathering effort, which created circumstances where they knew they had him dead to rights--and that still required Obama to make the decision to impose on the sovereignty of a nominal ally (the one that Bush spent years buttering up, and gave him nothing on bin Laden for his troubles).
