Right, a mobile refining unit.
You mean like this one; http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/54243b4ceab8ea037dc3e28c-874-559/screen%20shot%202014-09-25%20at%2011.56.19%20am.png
Now why would you chose that, and Russia chose these;

How come after years of fighting IS, they have nothing to show. And Russia needed a few weeks to produce this;

While western media had to use the Russian footage pretending it to be US bombing.

Reddit is a corporate owned company and as such exists, as all big corporations do, to further the status quo. DO NOT express opinions outside the box. I get a 10 minute wait time to post a comment on r/worldnews every time I am critical of Israel. Mods say blah blah poor score. Bullshit. It ONLY happens when I decry Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. I can post there all day about other subjects with no problem. The powers that be don't simply control the government. They control Reddit. The sooner you accept that the better off you'll be.

I even welcome it.. It fuels the separation of awakened and sheep. But it must be called out.

You don't get shadowbanned from an individual board. You get banned from a single board. You get shadowbanned from the entirety of reddit. You'll know the difference by the fact that when you're banned, mods generally tell you you're banned whereas with a shadow ban, your posts simply don't show up unless you're logged in and occasionally bots/mods of other subs will inform you of this if you post there. Also, I believe if you attempt to visit your own user profile while logged out it says something like "page not found."
edit: there's also a spiderban, aka "getting chucked," which is an entirely new level of fucked.

Perhaps they have control of the mods there

If it makes you feel any better, there are plenty of comments and threads whinging about the mods' pro-Russian or pro-Kurdish bias that pop up and get removed just the same. Here's one from earlier today.
What links them all (and yours) is the belligerence - ie you've not gone in to share and learn and discuss the ongoing situation, you've gone to wave your team's flag and yell and get in slapfights with anyone who takes the bait - which can be fun, don't get me wrong, but is also pretty much terminal cancer to a sub that hopes to represent all sides of an incredibly contentious issue.

4chan pol is the future. Free speech rocks!

btw, I am all over your post. It is right on the mark. The US had no intention of bombing its own creation.

Yea, I just got banned from there too, reason:
Yeah, except for those who does not criticize the US...
Meanwhile rampant swearing and ''uncivil'' discussions continue in the sub, they're just not as 'anti-american' as mine I suppose.
-1 shmusko01 2016-02-18
looks like you were banned for being antagonistic and dumb

I like how you downvote anyone that disagrees with you.
One of the commenters who replied to you made a very valid point that you failed to address, but I'm sure you'll address it here. How have the Kurds being making so much progress against Daesh if the US haven't been supporting them effectively and regularly?
You can argue that they're not doing enough, but to say they are doing nothing is simply not borne out by the facts.

I downvoted 3 out of 11 comments directly responding, in case you miscalculated..
It's not a question of counting strikes, but if the overall strategy is elimination or instead containment and redirection of ISIS towards Assad and in the process destroying a country instead of helping it.
With ISIS ranking in billions of dollars by illegal oil trade, there simply is no other material target that can be remotely compared in terms of long term strategic significance.
Hence, there neither is any other focus of discussion, which can be remotely compared in terms of significance, when to evaluate the true motives of the intervening parties.
A righteous motive, is clear, it's obvious, it's transparent. Like Russia's deployment and immediate target of the illegal oil business; They exposed it, acted upon it within weeks, and the only ones who can claim ignorance are those who had no eyes on the ground..
