Attacks in Paris
Is a shame, I think one of them died in the rescue attempt. Movie did get a bit propagandist, the book by Bowden is nice. Especially when the Delta operators disparage the Rangers and comment that 10th Mountain Div. were barely competent themselves, heh.

Anyone getting SC2 LotV?
The Centurions are pretty handy, blink charging and stunning. I've found I need to use micro more as they get separated from the dragoon line, or just generally blink too far ahead though. Will try that rather than my Void Ray spam.

Hardly doing that. Apologies if you think I am picking at you, though.

Attacks in Paris
Well, when it comes to that country acting externally, funny you would think that. But also not new now, either, we've had Fighter and I think one other before Sakai. Have to wonder what you would conider 'honest' as well. I must say though, this is some interesting conspiracy theory about MH370 and MH17. I had thought the ISIS hijacking then flying them to Syria somehow to enslave them all was the gold one, guess I judged too early.

MH17 was actually shot down by US troops, dressed up as Russians helping the Ukrainian rebels.

Well, beat the mission on Hard that I wussed out on - the evacuation of Shakuras one. Decided to stop dicking around with DTs and just used hordes of Annihilators and Dragoons, easy peasy. Might as well push on with it as I aspire to reach Bronze League

Kind of funny when it's refreshing as it's stuff you agree with, but this isn't new. Plenty of posters have been all over Russia around and even before Crimea, and the opposition was usually oby (guy winding up usual windbags here).

Attacks in Paris
Hm ok, just thought what with the naval base there, Syria not being a failed state would work for Russia. Fair enough though, maybe he's just decided to troll the US and lackeys, heh.

Attacks in Paris
Isn't Syria being friendly to Russia in their interest ? Seemed to be their motivation for bombing everyone not Assad, so to speak. Still, have to say he's done more with his theater than the US has, advantage of having ground troops that are somewhat reliable and all.

Attacks in Paris
They are trying to solve a problem, and they have ground elemens working with them, Syrian army and Iranian troops (I think). Might be messing up ISIS, might be messing up Syrian rebels or both. Since ISIS blew up their plane, they may decide to work ISIS over a bit more as they probably are a more competent threat to Assad than the rebels.

Attacks in Paris
Russia has an easier time getting targets, working with Syria and other useful troops on ground. But even that aside, they actually seem to be trying to solve a problem. Then again the US might enjoy letting that fire burn, not like either side bleeding is bad for them.

Oh, has nothing to do with the BBC, just was reading that as I came across your comment, a neat case of synchronicity (probably not, but I just like using that word whenever I can BS my way through it). I think people hear "state run" when they hear "state owned", with respect to the BBC or CBC. The governments do interfere, I know the Tories here had a hate for the CBC for some reason, but hardly KCNA or Pravda of old

Have never found him, or those, remotely funny. Same thing with Owen Wilson.

Maybe should a little - http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/newsevents/newsevents-pressreleases/newsevents-pressreleases-item.htm?id=324265 The whole ASBO thing is weird to me as well, but Canada is thankfully not the UK.

Attacks in Paris
Ah, I see. Well France's shutting down mosques that preach 'hate', so maybe they are merrily on their way. Seems pretty typical for overreaching laws, I understand that facing the aftermath of a terrorist attack can be shaky but is sad how that gets used.

Well, what can you do, resources are finite, states have interests. Nigeria is getting help fighting them, though not sure it's active military aid.
