Sounds like a small bit of sabre rattling. I expect both sides will calm down after a bit.

Huh?
What do you mean posting some current news usually ends with the poster being banned or butthurt?
Maybe I'm just dense but when has that ever happened?

If posters don't act like dicks, they won't be temp banned. It really is that simple. The forum rules are quite straightforward, and they don't preclude posts about current events with the potential for T2K/military/post apoc crossover.

I completely agree - just don't get political and keep it polite

[rcaf_777]

these thread always always get political, how we forget the thread on how the US and Russian were going to fight each other over Syria except they didn't and the world did not end.

Personally, I would argue that the fact that we have forgotten about it is a damned good thing.
It means that people did not keep focused on the unimportant parts, it means people moved on and let the negative parts be forgotten, it means people didn't continue to fight over points that were not relevant to the original post.
