You do realise that nuclear material can be traced back to its source by studying it's composition?

setter · 25 Dec 2014 at 16:32

Yep, iirc its isotopes can actually be used to determine what particular reactor it came from.

I said before, one way they (US) could go would be to let off a nuke at ground level in a major ISIS strong hold then claim that it was ISIS accidentally letting it off while preparing the nuke for a terrorist attack somewhere else.

Masterful. You should work for the CIA, and infiltrate their ranks.

The IAEA do who would inevitably be investigating it

Who says it has to be ISIS investigate? It would lead to a international inquiry. Russia for one would no doubt jump at the chance to implicate the US. This is like discussing the matter with a school kid, but worse. I don't even see why the matter is being discussed. I was posting just days ago how amusing it is that these topics often devolve into nuclear annihilation fantasy. Go read a Tom Clancy book or something. Your appetite should be quelled that way.

Please, stop talking sense. This is not the thread for that.

Don't think there's any need to "just nuke 'em", looks like the whole shooting match is unravelling at the seams anyway.

When the ISIS thing first started to kick-off I saw the argument put forward that they should be left alone to screw it up by themselves, have the people turn on them, and then the western intervention.

I doubt there is much that the normal citizen can do about it though.

As crap as it may sound.. isis alone isn't to blame for all of the damage to the infrastructure.
we played a big part in that.

setter · 27 Dec 2014 at 16:52

Western countries had nothing to do with the destruction of infrastructure in Syria. This was the doing of Syrian state forces and various rebel groups including Isis.

Anything that reminds UK liberals what Fundamental Islam actually looks like is a good thing.

It must suck for ISIS (and Islam) that they can't run an existing state along religious lines even with millions in oil revenue, while the Jews have been making a very successful state out of nothing for decades.

Reports coming in now that ISIS have used chemical weapons, will be interesting to see how the west reacts to this considering out governments went full retard over the mere suggestion that Assad used them.

hardly...

they're already attacking ISIS, Assad got away with it on the other hand

and you don't see a few flaws with that?

i really do wish people would stop aping the Americans by using liberal as a perjorative. As a liberal I am not really a huge fan of Fundamental Islam as it is pretty much the antithesis of liberalism.

No true the west has armed, trained, and support anti Assad rebels. If you count Israel as the west they have directly bombed Syria.

setter · 27 Dec 2014 at 20:39

Russia has armed the Syrian government forces, as for the rebel groups. They were fighting for quite a while before being supplied by the west. As for Israel, they've only carried out a few small air strikes in Syria. Nothing near the scale of damage which each side in the Syrian conflict have carried out.

Russia supply its allies which it has contracts with, the west has made syria in proxy war they don't give **** if the country gets torn apart as long they can topple Assad. A lot of these weapons falls into the had of nut jobs like ISIS for example.

If we kept out nose out of it im sure Assad would have had crushed these rebels along time ago. If we did not destroy Iraq and destabilize the region for "so called weapons on mass ********" there would be no ISIS.
