I must commend the 40 Americans who killed 200 to 300 in a firefight and not a single American was harmed according to those reports.

That is most definitely a record and should go down in the annals alongside Thermopylae and the Cromwellian sieges of Wales.

Fair balls to the 40.

Final figures were put at 600 dead russians ,

If you were American you would fancy the odds in firefight reminds me of jadotville

And now you hit the nail on the head with him, watching him from afar he's definitely watched too much Rambo as a kid, those coups are only reserved for the brown lads with oil, no mention of Macrons abysmal approval ratings, 11 weeks of protests that have left 10 dead, no mention of scraping wealth taxes while ordinary French folk struggle, no coup or regime change for whitey banker puppet boy.

Excellent work by 40 soldiers who sustained not a scratch. Like I said this battle should be vaunted and that 40 should be brought, decorated and their story written quickly. All 40 are alive and they have killed 600 Russians in a few hours.

That's less than half a company wiping out 2 battalions in an afternoon.

It must be a record. I would think there would be books already written about this.

I'm sure Hollywood has another recruitment drive/propaganda film in the pipeline, only in it, its one soldier played by Clint Eastwood who kills them all after taking a bazooka to the leg and only has 2 bullets left

The real question you should be asking yourself is what were US troops doing in Syria in the first place, a sovereign country under international law, who invited them?..... The kurds? Lol

The revisionism in this thread is incredible

It was a dictatorship, high corruption, high unemployment, crumbling infrastructure, not a particularly fantastic place to live. Floating on a sea of oil meant the country was "better off" than many counterparts, but 10's of billions of what should have been national wealth was siphoned off to Gaddafi and family (estimates of up to 200 billion). He had built up relatively "decent" relationships with various Western countries prior to 2011, oil exports, mainly to Italy, Germany and France prior to the conflict haven't changed muchJ (except for overall volume which has suffered). He went full hammer and tongs after the protesters during the Arab Spring so the world pretty much cut him loose. Even Russia and China didn't veto the UN resolution that authorised force.

Except, Dohnjoe, it wasn't a dictatorship.
You accuse people of revisionism yet you have next to no knowledge of how the Libyan society functioned.

Are you aware that Ghadaffi could not pass a single law or initiative without the agreement of individual local councils.?

They held all the power in the country and ghadaffi was like a cross between Michael D, Queen Elizabeth and Ahmadinejad.

It was never a dictatorship because power was never central.

As for your claims about the country being fleeced Wall Street style....even if that was true and you ask where one would want to live.....Well you tell me.

Free education, healthcare, electricity and 20k when you get married or a life of penury as the land you were born in is given away and you're told its the free way.

Another question I would have is how many were merely wounded?

If 600 Russians are confirmed dead at the hands of 40 Americans then there must be at least 3 or 4 thousand Russiana wounded given the 5:1 wounded to death ratio.

This 4 hour fight, Gatling, you must get more information on it.

Now this happened, when? Last spring? Why aren't there statues to this 40 unscathed warriors? I want to see this elite cadre of bulletproof men.

Judging by the way the US fights in Afghanistan (calling in airstrikes on a lone Taliban fighter on a hillside pew pew) I reckon they could do with these 40 lads there. If Syrian soldiers are among the dead it's probably a war crime since no one invited the US they are an invading force.

gatling...40 Americans soldiers killed 600 Russians in a few hours last Summer? And we are only hearing about this Omaha Beach style episode of military valour NOW?

Now I know that cameras were a luxury in 1944 and they were a little more affordable in the 1960's at Khe San when a bunch of doped up marines were supposed to have fought the greatest resistance campaign since Sparta but in 2018 while those 40 Americans were scything down Russians at a rate of 15 every 5 minutes none of this elite American 40 stopped to take a picture of the carnage? This greatest defence ever?

There are posters solely in here to attack "countries and their history", not the administrations involved. We're getting Cold war references in here - nothing to do with Putin, or May, or Merkel, or Trump

It's like some individuals actually personify an entire nation, it's multiple leaders from different parties and decades of history into something they can "hate"

Dohnjoe, if a country is such a nightmare for the people who live there then why do you think that the best course of action is to make it even worse?

How bad is life for Venezuelans as opposed to Uzbeks or Saudis?

Gotta help these poor people right? I still hear Americans bemoan the fact that US soldiers were killed in Iraq "after all we did to he!p these ragheads"
