If it's a choice between eat the dirt with my plane or get captured by ISIS, I'd probably pick the dirt. They're going to flay that guy alive.

Surely the best thing to do now would be to carpet bomb Raqqa until you've managed to kill the pilot.

I was watching it on my loving old laptop and not even full screen mode and could tell it was a gun.

If only they had an HD cam that automatically would recognize make/model of alleged gun...gently caress them.

If only there were several cameras right by the police, or maybe even mounted on the police car and the police officers themselves...

That was not a roast. That was a two hour mutual-masturbation session of this generation's so-called "funniest" comedians. Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan were competing to see who was gayest for Franco. poo poo's gone downhill since Greg Giraldo OD'd.

Yeah, that's true. Calling it a Roast was a bit more diplomatic than calling it a circle jerk, I guess.

Speaking of which, The Interview's being released. Put up or shut up, Norks.

gently caress.

We have to kill all of them, and hopefully there's a humanity worth protecting when the dust settles.

I sincerely can't see another choice- we need to go ahead and declare wars on some soon to be former nation states, and we need to pick a branch of Islam, and trim the rest of that loving thorny bush we call the Muslim (~4th) world.

Not kidding and America don't need nukes to do this.

Technically yes.

But someone has to have the balls to go after us for it. And I mean besides holding a UN conference call and telling a pack of reporters that they think we did something "wrong".

Which frankly I would find more entertaining than wiping out Islam. Because the US is roughly 95% of the UN's fighting force when they actually do put on their blue berets.

A bottle of "four-buck chuck" is 200+ rubles. The Russians live in a dark and backwards place. It's the god given right of every civilized person to be able to get blackout drunk for $5 if they need it.

They could get blackout drunk off $5 bottles of vodka if their tolerances haven't been pushed to superhuman levels.

I always heard stories about MiG pilots and maintenance crews drinking the hydraulic fluid because it was alcohol based. Never seen anything indicating that it was more than a silly Cold War rumor, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was true.

It's very true. The fluid that kept Mig-21 radars cool was alcohol as well.

It's from the cold war thread, and indeed it was a design choice.
IIRC the designer was quoted saying something like "If the plane performed best with the finest Armenian Cognac as hydraulic fluid, that's what I would use." after some civilian objections to the constantly drunk soldiers.
