OK, I think we'll leave this here with "you don't know".

In the meantime, British soldiers get their legs blown off and struggle with potential homelessness.

He used "m8". Do you think you'll be engaging in any kind of meaningful discussion? Haha

They've been using those tactics a while now.

What's funnier (but not nearly as smart) is the amount of fanboyism in this thread

all world leaders have an agenda. They all conspire to meet that agenda.

Conspire - (Oxford English Definition.) "to secretly plan with other people to do something illegal or harmful"
"to seem to work together to make something bad happen"

Agenda is a good word too. (the intention behind what somebody says or does, that is often secret.)

You make your bed as they say.

Your country needs you.

Certainly doesn't need you old man

Must be a crazy life heralding politicians like they're rock stars too. Live that dream!

I also wouldn't be suprised, I read an instagram post this morning it said "It definitely wasnt assad that used chemical weapons" It does baffle me that people that arn't even syrian are so eager to come to the defense of him so quickly.

Anyway, don't forget the main group being supported right now are these guys.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Democratic_Forces

And it won't be long before they take raqqah

At the time I thought it good that another ME conflict had been avoided, years later I'm not so sure as we seem to have just made things worse by inaction.

Who'd have thought it eh? The West are damned if they do, damned if they don't anyway. Kind of moot really.

Reckon the main reason to give them a heads up was if the US suspected there were Russians on the base...

Absolutely. Prewarning happens regularly in both directions though.

you won't be glad though when those so called rebels that take over are ISIS nutjobs. The west needs to keep its prying noses out. if Asad wants to Sarin his country into the stoenage that's his business, and the wests medeling will simply further strengthen the ISIS hand in the area. Asad isn't the one inspiring nutcases to drive cars into people in Europe, it's ISIS, I say we stay out as should the US and leave Putin and his warlord mates to gas the population in peace.

The mind boggles!!

How could you be so certain that Assad is behind this?
He's winning so what's the point to use chemical weapon on civilians?
The USA and their dirty politics...

Winning? Winning what? Define "winning".

You insinuate that only the US deal in dirty politics. What about Russia and their dirty politics? How about Iran and Syria? More fanboy politics!

Is it not an old adage that to get the truth you need to hear both sides of a story?

The game is afoot.

You make the naive assumption that at least one 'side' always tells the truth.

Cite more social media as source though. It's very informative.

Syrian man trying to speak out against what's going on in Syria and he's drowned out by muppets who just aren't willing to listen. What they do to him is essentially what a number of posters on here are doing. They don't care what the people are going through and who caused it, they just want a dig at the 'West'.

Standard. No one cares, they just want to argue their political agenda and hope someone else cares enough to validate their opinion. 99% of these people have never stepped foot in the ME, let alone Syria or Iraq, nor do they have anything more to go on than the social media sources that they frantically reference as citation.

Stig in posting random crap with zero value whatsoever non shocker.

You know exactly what Spicer was trying to say, he's just such a moron he couldn't articulate the point properly. Again, the video fits your alterior agenda though, so there's nothing new here. Carry on.

He's the mouthpiece for the most powerful person on the planet - articulating information is his job.

And? It doesn't automatically make him good at it. Trump is the most powerful person on the planet. Do you think he's good at it?

Logic failures, everywhere.

Looks like Raqqa is going to fall soon.

The SDF seem to be racing to beat the SAA to the capital.

More like it's going to be a lengthy drawn out guerrilla battle just like Mosul again.

sven256 said:
Clashes are currently happening, but i doubt the SAA are going for Raqqa. It looks to me they are just going straight along cutting the SDF from advancing south in the future thus securing all the southern half of Syria for the Syria government.

Neither the SDF or SAA can afford an all out war with one another, they're both tied up fighting their common enemy and focusing on Raq and Deiz liberation. There have been some small scale minor clashes between the two but it's not expected to escalate beyond that.

I still don't think it was Assad the last time, I reckon it's more likely to be one of the many terrorist groups that the US are providing air-cover and CAS for and who the terrorist state, Saudi Arabia, are funding.
