The concern regarding the debate was that when it came to Syria, that Clinton would introduce a 'no fly zone'. A 'no-fly zone' means you destroy the enemy's airforce, radar defence systems, rocket systems, telecommunications systems, train stations, highways, and any government or non government building that could be used to provide air defence, thus mosques, hospitals and schools. This is what the US imposed no-fly zone did to Iraq, and to Libya. As ISIS doesn't have an airforce in any form, that having a 'no-fly' zone is simply madness and would allow ISIS to move about freely on the ground. The fact that she still sees war with Syria, and Russia, as a good outcome...and a no-fly zone IS real war, and that she'll persuade the Russians and Syrians to accept it...including destruction of the Syrian Government airforce, and the Russian missile bases just indicates how mad and deranged her real views are.

another favourite bike the Moto Guzzi Le Mans from around the same Time...much heavier and simpler than the Ducati.

Nice looking old Ducati ST4S ABS in red. I had the yellow ST2 with the 944 desmodromico engine and this one has the desmoquattro 996 donk. The only problem with the ST2, apart from the cost of maintenance if you rode it every day...was the handlebar position which was too lower for the touring side of the sport/touring set up, but this one has 2 inch handlebar risers which would make it much better.

The Nissan Navara dual cab ute remains a very worthy vehicle. I know that ISIS prefers Toyota SR5 Hilux Dual Cab Utes, and that they are doing the hard yards now for ISIS in Iraq fighting America...both are made in Thailand. The Nissan runs about $20,000 more economical, per unit, than the Toyota because it is a more basic truck I guess...but the engine and the drive-train are still just as good and reliable. What the Toyota provides for ISIS fighters is a more comfortable and luxurious cabin, which is understandable, for the price. If you were fitting a 50 millimetre machine gun to the tray, the fact that with the Toyota you could run a trouble-free bluetooth set up and sit on more comfy seats ...then I guess the extra 20 grand is worth it. I still think that if you are fighting America in a Toyota, then, when you don't have the weight of a 50mm machine gun set up in the tray, you should still put 60 kgs of sand bags in the tray over the back leaf springs to give you a smoother better ride.

Aleppo: Those evil Russians. Mosul: It's all good. Nothing to see here.

The only problem I see with the combined forces of the US and "friends" 'destroying' ISIS in Iraq, and in Mosul, per se, is that ISIS is actually Iraqis...in Iraq...so when attacked by overwhelming forces, they do exactly what the Sunni Iraqis did with the US invasion, they simply go back into the Iraqi general population until the US has gone home again. Then we will get the Son of ISIS...even more embittered and more radical and a worse outcome after trillions of dollars are blown up. That's what comes from meddling. More terror. The only way to destroy an enemy is to impose yourself on them forever, even the Romans knew that. If you aren't going to do that, and if you can't afford to do that, well then invasion and war isn't really a reasoned decision. Dialogue is better. Interesting that bombing a city of a million people in Mosul...men women and kids... is called 'liberation' if we do it; but is called mass murder of women and children if the Russians do it in Aleppo...when the outcome, the massive killing of men, women and kids, of entire communities, is the same outcome. Then come the refugees. Never a good idea even if it makes Obama and the Democratic Party look good for a brief minute before a Presidential election. As with the Taliban in Afghanistan, it is a very hard thing to kill a whole third of the population due to their beliefs and say, somehow, that it is good for them. That it is somehow a good thing for Afghanistan that the median age of the population is 17...and all fired up (radicalised and brutalised by you) to hate you for good reason. You want it darker?
