Poll: Syrian Chemical Weapon Attack

He's counting on his mates stepping in.

A poor miscalculation on his behalf - because they won't do a thing.

Yeah cause he wouldnt have asked Russians/Chinese before even allowing a fart from his military....

Question for ya'all.

How would we or our government here in the UK feel or re-act if an outside country was to send arms to groups in the UK wanting to overthrow our government?

I'm sure they'd be called terrorists for a start instead of 'rebels'.....

 

[Devlish]

Yeah yeah im off Lazder, catch you soon kiddo.

 

[Westyfield2]

So if the UN aren't going to do any because Russia/China will veto it... what then is the point of the UN?

Whats the point of UN when there were 37 instance of total agreement to sanction Israel but USA vetod every single one of them.

You are right, UN is garbage I do agree with you there.

To give peace a chance.

I seem to remember the powers that be being pretty miffed when Libya supplied arms to PIRA and the good old citizens of the USA raised money for them.

The Americans, because they're stupid, supported the IRA as they thought they were brave freedom fighters .

Do you realise that ultimately if Syrian rebels had no support from western countries the civil war would be over long time ago, the children would not have needed to die...

Do you realise that if bomb assad and cripple his army, the war will go on for longer, aka the more children will continue to die.

Do you realise that if we help the "rebels" win, extremist government will be installed and over years many more children/women will suffer due to it... Look at Libya now, a country which was well developed is now into stone age where different clans fight for streets, how many children have died as result of that?

Ask a Libyan whether all this was worth the "democracy" which they actually havent got... They had dictatorship that still more or less provided them with decent life, they were promised Democracy with good life... They got total anarchy.

Is that what you want the "children" of Syria to see??

This really!

Standard issue western intervention seems always to follow the same pathway!

Give the "Losing" side just enough support to ensure a bloody stalemate that drags on for years (or even generations) and turns a conflict that might originally have been over within weeks with minimal casualties into a holocaust that costs and/or blights hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives!

 

[merlin]

he sounds like a complete twot to be honest.

Because I hold an opposing view to you?

 

[Johnnytoxic]

The News networks are so biased and spout anything the government tells them too.

Last night there was a comment about a war veteran that had 1200 likes, saying the U.S should stop getting involved in wars. The comment has now been deleted.

The propaganda machine is ridiculous.

 

[Domo]

What's difficult to understand?

I want Syria to be militarily punished, hard, ASAP.

Rules are rules - they were warned.

We'd be contributing to the misery already endured by Syrians. Perhaps not content with their own government committing atrocities, why not have other governments launch weapons from a far just so said governments can feel good.

Military intervention will cause more deaths and lead to greater instability in the region.

Or because of the views you hold.

I am talking of precision strikes against command, not the Syrian people.

So, is the UN turning into another League of Nations? An organisation crippled by the self interests of the member nations.

It always has been.

The fact that most of the funding for the UN comes from the major military powers,means it can never be totally unbiased when it comes to these players,as the funding tap would be closed,leading to many people loosing their jobs.
