What a wacko.

[Bakis]

He seem to at least have some geography issues and where US air space ends.
Then again his world map is not drawn by cartographers but god.

See, this is the kind of short-minded nonsense that I loathe about some politicans, not just those in the U.S.

Sure, it sounds good to the stupid voters and they'll eat this shit up, but all it does is make you appear a fool, and when it comes to voting day, no-one is going to tick the box of a man who claims he's willing to start WW3 ...

A short term boost in opinion polls is all these people care about, and that's because they're not really running for the presidency. They're doing so to increase sales of their products, or to advertise their new book, or to boost their businesses. It's stupid.

Not saying I think it's a good idea....

but....

What's the point of a no fly zone if its going to be flown in.

[Jotaux]

What if Russia declares that area as a no fly zone and shoot down all planes that enter that area.

I rather see that than stupid ideas from people who are so ignorant of how close to war we have been based on moronic decisions that seem logic even to many.

Well by the same logic Russia can declare Syria a no fly zone and shoot down any US aircraft that go there.

It's really Turkey's job to tell Russia not to fly in its airpsace and shoot them down if they want to do so.

Isn't the no fly zone supposed to be a warning to enemy combatants? The important part being enemy.

[Bakis]

Interesting thing is that only in US can a nutjob such as this be in 2nd place and actually gain some initial votes from such a statement.
I want to fastforward some months

I could agree if Russian war planes were flying over the U.S., but in other countries? /facepalm

Yeah, when I entered this thread I thought it was some incidents of Russian airplanes flying too close to Alaska or something, but I guess that wouldn't be stupid enough for Carson.

[Azadina]

Call me a terrible person if you wish, but honestly, if countries want to troll others, by constantly flying in their airspace without permission, I think it is just fine to shoot them down, and put a stop to it. Russia loves doing that, because they count on no one daring to defend their own airspace against Russia.

Well, it's Russia, so obviously they can't do that.

who is that n... guy? and why he is concerned about syrian-turkish airspace

Yup, it's the US's job to shoot down Russian aircraft crossing a border half the world away and without any request from the nation who's border is being breached!

[Yakshamash]

Well, if Hitler could shoot russian planes all over the world, I guess he can too...

Tsar Putlers forces violating our own airspaces is one thing, a no-fly zone declared by single countries elsewhere is an entirely different thing.

[Deathquoi]

Pandering to low information voters who eat up bullshit sound bites like this is one of the worst things about politics. It's the same thing as Trump's plan to build a wall and ship all the illegals back to Mexico, it's childish and naive and it ignores reality in favor of sounding like something out of a cartoon.

[Bushtuckrman]

I rather Trumps stance. 'If Russia wants to sort it out, let them'.

Of course since he is not apart of the status quo he doesn't care so much for America's want for influencing the ME as much as possible for dem oils. America went so far as to create Islamic State (that everyone knows but too afraid to admit) to push their agenda in the ME and trump couldn't care less. As a great businessman I am sure he would find a far better way than America's usual worn out tactic of arming militia's and rebel groups to create proxy wars which go to shit 99 times out of 100.
