#8 *snort*

Obama was after the ISJV with the urgency of an old man picking out new golf shoes, when Russia outscores his total effort in one inning.

#9 Then Russian video was released and people were like

Putin bombing ISIS like whoa
1000 kilogrammers like whoa
Bringing in the Arty like whoa
Gonna build a new base like whoa

So suddenly we discover that there are convoys of vehicles on a trade route with Turkey and we bomb them using A-10s. With leaflets. Then we get around to destroying some of them.

And we were like, "Leaflets? WTF!"
And Erdogon was like, "My money, WTF!"

So here we are, with The White House inventing words like deescalation. Shoot, fellow travelers MsF get bombed and crickets.

So yeah, maybe there isn't a contest, like that white boy in Gran Torino.

And y'all military, I know the house has a smell because of the bats in the attic, it isn't you.
