No nation, ever, has the right to violate another to march in and annex based on "common language." That was what Hitler did first in Alsace Lorraine, then in Czechoslovakia. Then in Poland. So Mexico can now just march into all of Central and North South America and "annex those nations"...

OK, the US will "annex" Canada's English speaking provinces, based on your logic. Who gives a hoot what Czars and Stalin the mad man did. Never forget that Stalin was initially Hitler's ally to steal part of Poland. You overlook that Western media have been beat up and barred from honest...

The meetings this week of the 7 leading world economic powers, with Russia barred from attendance, says what a closer truth is to the whole world's opinion of an internationally illegal land grab, which most of us recognize was solely to more tightly secure an already very secure Russian Navy...

"...the majority of the Ukrainians outside the Crimea would never accept Russian rule." Some of you must come from Undemocratic governance system backgrounds as you clearly don't under the International Rule of Law, UN Treaties now broken by Putin, and attacks on families of Ukrainian...

I am of the lay opinion that Mr. Putin has lost his mind and will attempt to invade more of Ukraine during this week. This is of course only my opinion based on how I read his military movements of recent date. What do others on this site think about Russia's military being used for another...

No mention at all of Russian pilots in this WSJ 2006 story. Is it possible some here may be "spoofing us" about Russia as a way to try to stick a finger in our eye as they undemocratically invade and annex part of Ukraine? A USAF retired Colonel, not a pilot but an Airport Manager while in...

Many US commercial airline pilots first learned to fly "for free, paid while training and learning" by joining the USAF, Navy aviation, or Army aviation. The US military trains foreign officers to be pilots over here in the USA. This pilot training is cost free but for time invested, during...

God created all people in His image is my lifelong belief and credo. While I agree that the US American Airlines pilot who is also a retired USAF Colonel exhibts poor choice of words, the fact remains that many nations have to hire Western pilots due to lack of infrastructure and less developed...

The old USSR did indeed get it's butt kicked out of Afghanistan by the Mujahadeen, equipped with US stinger missiles. The Soviet Union lost that war largely due to two factors: 1. Stingers ended air dominance in support of ground ops. 2. The USSR popular was fed up with the draft and so...

I am and was aware of Russia/gas/oil relationshipss with/to Ukraine. Just too tired last night to discuss more. The US and our allies have resources now being evaluated to supply Ukraine, as well as Western Europe. The "alignment" logistically of the whole world's oil and gas demands has to...

See if you can get a copy of James Mitchner's book CARAVANS. It has maps of the old trade routes which you now want to turn into modern highways and rail links. During my 1963-65 posting to then West Pakistan I believe the USSR was working on a paved highway in the North from one of the...

You and I agree on the possibility of Islamofacism. The only time I can remember having my "credentials" challenged was in my youth at a bar at the beach in Delaware, when my girl friend was not "carded" but I was. "Carded" means proving you are old enough to buy a drink! I was age 33 at the...

I will arbitrarily take the point of view that these two Iranians are radical Islamic terrorists, took over the plane, the crew and passengers revolted. A fight within the plane broke out and ultimately the plane flew on on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel and crashed below radar tracking...

I played rugby for the Karachi Camels in a tournament in old Ceylon, now named Sri Lanka. Drank some of that really excellent Ceylon cha, and generally was welcomed and had a very good time. FYI, I was the only American on the Karachi Camels rugby team. Others were Pakistanis, Brits, Aussies...

"Not Sure" uses a paragraph which noting the date and time line you will see I omitted before he chose to use it from my first draft. All anyone has to do is read the post noting Today at 6:52 AM. Now note "Not Sures" posting time line: Today at 7:03 AM It is immature and nothing less than...

I passed on comments by a current American Airlines pilot, not my remarks except to introduce it. I deleted his last paragraph which you copied before deleted and used to slam those who are less fortunate it. So, my version was edited to remove the biases remarks you want to grab hold of. You...

Just passing it on as I received it. It is a very interesting article by some one who is expressing his opinion...not necessarily the true facts but it does make one think. This is interesting........maybe time will tell ! From a retired AF colonel, now a pilot for AA, flying the Boeing 777...
