Russians inscribe 'For Paris' on bombs destined for Syria

[Nick Young]

Russian ground crew are inscribing the words "For Paris" on some bombs destined to be dropped on targets in Syria, in a message of solidarity with the victims of last week's Paris attacks.

A video posted online by the Defence Ministry here also shows a serviceman writing "For Our Guys" on a bomb at Russia's Hmeymim airbase.

"Pilots and technicians of Hmeymim airbase have sent their message to terrorists by priority airmail," said a caption accompanying the post.

Russia has intensified strikes on Syrian militants, including from Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for the attacks that killed 130 people in Paris and for downing a Russian airliner in Egypt last month, killing all 224 on board.

Russian politicians have said the Paris attack underscores the need for the West and the Kremlin to bury their differences and join forces to take on militants in Syria.

Putin really playing up the "we're totally in this together guys" card. Clearly using this to get rid of Russia's black sheep of Europe status.

History will reflect on the US so very poorly on how we handled this war. Obama will take most of the blame, and deservedly so, but hopefully we will never forget how gung ho some Republicans like McCain and Romney were, regarding aggressive aid to these "rebels".

Obama is an immeasurable fool. Even after directly seeing the result in Iraq and Libya, he's still sticking with the "Saddam has to go" strategy with Assad.

So are we gonna assume everyone that they blow up with these bombs is ISIS? No innocent casualties right? Because if any innocents die, that's just stooping to their levels.

ISIS knew this would happen if they hid amongst the innocent. They knew people would turn on America etc and blame them if they bombed innocent people. The syrians should of stayed and fought ISIS, instead many of them fled as migrants to Europe. According to statistics, about 20% of the migrants were from War torn Syria. The other 80% were opportunists, many were trojan horse ISIS members.


How do you think a war plays out? very war we have had in history, innocent die to ensure the greater cause is achieved. Sometimes, innocent casualties is unavoidable. Particularly when you're fighting an enemy that uses dirty tactics like hiding among civilians.



I hope you have a close eye on your buddy. The one who supported the Paris attacks. He is a fundamentalist muslims. You should of punched him in the face the moment you heard that shit.

He's definitely following in the footsteps Bush. So much for his "change" platform. At least the good variety of it.

Man he didn't support it. He was just like... they have been egging on Muslims for the longest. He is harmless. I don't think he is an ISIS supporter, he hates them as much as anyone. He's very old fashioned. I ain't into making friends with fundamentalists though.

It's sad that innocents are the ones that get f'ed over most. It's not their fault that cockroaches live among them.

Of course, and believe it or not, every poster here, the government would care that it kills civilians. There is the geneva convention for starters.


This wasn't a premeditated "let's kill everyone in Syria", this is purely to eradicate ISIS any means necessary and that any means necessary is the backlash of it unfortunately.

In a way it sort of is. It doesn't seem like a single leader with common sense and a respect to fairness can gain any support or traction among the masses in Islamic countries.

Those went to Paris

You see, this reply just exposes you as someone who doesn't care about the victims of Islamic terrorism. You're playing the victim card against people who have been killed at the hands of ISIS. That's some heinous shit.

[bladefd]

From Russia With Love. For Paris.

:pimp:

[oh the horror]

He doesn't care about the victims of terrorism because he doesn't feel like more innocent people should be murdered for the sake of revenge?

Really? For the sake of revenge? You think killing terrorists is just out of revenge?? Insanity.

wait a second, wait a second

First, it's a known fact that these ISIS members and their mentality is a minority.

Second, most real muslims are against what ISIS does

Third, these real muslims know that allowing ISIS to hide in their city is putting them and their family in direct line of fire.

So why exactly are these real muslims not doing anything and allowing ISIS to control their (Majority of the city) life? I mean they're a MAJORITY being caught in the crossfire because of a MINORITY?

Why are they not standing up not for Paris but for their own family's sake and fighting off this minority that they too are 1. against ideologically and 2. are putting their life in danger.

You cant just let your town get run down to shit, you have to take some of the blame for not doing anything and harboring them and/or informing their location.

Just an asian perspectice, but Putin is really helping his status with this one, not sure what you guys think, but here in Asia people are calling him the alpha hero lol.

BTW We serbians are innocent. We never killed any Archeduke

Thing is, Putin has been trying to improve East-West relations for some time, but the Americans, and their treatment of Russia and her interests, has rendered this impossible - Russians are not slavish, and will not accept the kowtowing mandate that America conceitedly expects the rest of the world to follow. The CIA has been working operations to undermine Russia since the early 90s; it aided the people we would now call 'terrorists' to create problems in Chechnya (moved mujahideen, in fact, from Afghanistan to Azerbaijan, which was used as a base from which to attack Russia). They've also worked their hardest to detach their historical and cultural ally from them by surreptitious means, making American all that more hated among Russian. Had Putin done nothing in response to these insults and slights he would have long been shunted from power.

And the reality is: the Russians just have a much more realistic understanding of geopolitics than the Americans (and certainly a much better knowledge of the Middle-East). Who warned of the folly of these Middle-Eastern escapades in the first place? The Russians did. Why? Not simply to impede America, but because they actually learned from their mistakes in Afghanistan - whereas America has been making the same mistakes year after year for decades. Obama is in fact still arming 'moderate rebels' as we speak, and still refusing to deal with Assad (while having no idea who they could replace him with, or whether he would be any better).

Also, the Russians will always have a soft spot for the French and for Paris, for obvious historical and cultural reasons.

edit: what has been obvious to me for some time is that Putin is no enemy, and that the real threat and menace to civil order is and has been for some time militant islam, which is a worldwide force of illimitable resources. Instead of using this mutually shared threat to bring long estranged nations together, it has only been used by the likes Obama as attempts to further marginalize Russia.

Russia is not Communist, it isn't the Soviet Union, and it doesn't have its sights set on Empire - Americans really need to get that into their heads. Before Bolshevism Americans saw Russians as their cousins (e.g. visit of first Kennan), people who could be like them if only not for the despotism that ruled them. The anti-Russian prejudice was born of Communism, and Russians are no-longer Communists (probably less so than Americans), so quit fearing and hating them already.
