Lord Garth,

There's an old US Air Force saying - "It doesn't matter how ugly it is, a kill is a kill." ;)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
What if Putin provides one of those 84 still missing 10 K-ton brief case bombs or other handy items?

It could be used against US and have some reasonable deniability.

#7 ..should have stayed out of the Libyan revolt. For some reason people at State thought we should. This is just another 'return to normal' that Brandon has brought us.

#8 ....shi@ disturbers all, Foggy Bottom and their Klingon-MIC colleagues. Global and regional peace and stability are their arch enemies. War and conflict is their business, and business is good.

#11 Brazil and Argentina have sided with Russia.

#12 Argentina and Brazil are sending a message, and telling to the world that they have no interest in doing business with a country that is hostile to all societies that do not open their financial markets to be robbed by U.S. oligarchs. For the idiots brainwashed it’s Russia, Iran, the inflation, China… The seditious traitors in the media are not telling the American peoples that this is at the core of the current global conflict as China, Russia, Iran and Venezuela, and now Brazil and South Africa developed from different traditions and reject to give in to U.S. demands. The U.S. is used to solve such 'problems' by force or the necessity to export …democracy…but is now too weak to achieve that. World has changed.
But I still enjoy life and I’m going to celebrate with a shoot of grappa Nonino with a side of pear juice.

#13 Iran has actual operational experience in Syria with small (50 lbs) surveillance UAVs.

Possible that Russia techs were involved in this and passed word on to Moscow that these could be useful in Ukraine.
