Is Hod waffling again? Smile

Back to the topic.

What will Putin do to save his face in front of his people and international community if it happened that the crash of the plane was caused by an ISIS bomb?

1. More bombing in Syria (of course against moderate fighters and not ISIS)?
2. Extend his bombing to Iraq?
3. Extend his bombing to Sinai?
4. extend his bombing to Chechnya and Ukraine?
4. Pull his military armada from Syria (I doubt it!)?

Any thoughts?

graham, 6/10 of your posts are about me. I must be doing something right to keep you so busy.

Wife, girlfriend? Maybe give it a try?

Going through all of someone's 1,724 posts and calculating what fraction of them is spent one one topic may indicate that any compulsion is not just one-sided. Very Happy

If it was an ISIS bomb, it seems more like Egyptian airport security would be the one losing face.

To be fair, John, please click the link as it shows his recent posts and their high levels of hod-mania. Took me ten seconds.

He also reckons I was neglected as a child based on I'm not quite sure what. Bit late to worry about my childhood now, but he can still get a wife, still time.

Indeed, especially when General Sisi is in a visit to London today. He already lost his face over the issue.

If I was a CNN aviation correspondent, I'd bet my career on it.

Funny how Russian live seem not to matter. You are all talking about an online person instead of the topic.

The first responsible for this tragedy is Vladimir Putin. He should not have sent his fighter jets to bomb the rebels including Isis in Syria.
This is the result of his miss-calculated actions.
I wonder what will he say to his people in Russia?
