Yaay Afghanistan and Iraq part 2
Take any bets on how long this unproductive quagmire will last
Quote:This already happened.
Assad used Chem weapons. Media convinced everyone Trump was going to start WWIII. US bombed some runways or something. It was over.
So your argument is that because their was on false alarm a war can't happen ?

LOL !
Russia says they will shoot down all missiles fired at Syria,
-and-
they are moving all their ships and subs out of Syrian waters.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The whole situation is royally fucked up though, I agree. It seems unlikely to end well whatever happens.
That is also on the table, because Trump is in deep shit, he is facing hell lots of domestic anger, and it's a well known tactic -and a pretty cheap one too, but effective- to start a war out of nothing to distract the peoples' anger away from you.

I didn't believe it before, but rumors were so strong about the existence of two wings in the American White House: followers of the Military Industrial Complex vs The Oligarchs -fat cats-.
The mess means that it is real, the wings do exist, and both are beating the hell out of each other and that is what we're seeing now.

It'll be a token gesture just like the last 'response'. $100 million dollars worth of cruise missiles to pulverise an empty airfield. The west should have hammered the bastard years ago when there was a reasonable chance of taking him out but with Russia and now Iran stirring the pot; forget it.
I never bought the intentions of the alliance against Assad. It literally involves most nations in the world, the amount of airpower this alliance have is enough to defeat Hitler twice. Israel alone can halt Assad's airpower if not invade Syria.
What happened to the war on ISIS ? My guess is that the proxy is not quite needed now since the masks unfolded and the true fighting sides appeared.
Probably there is a new shape for the region, and the time for it to happen is now.
The alliance's forces -from Saudi Arabia to France to ...etc-, each one took a price for joining, just like the era of Sykes-Picot treaty

You really think it is funny that US has become butt fuck bitch to a third rate has been power with an economy that doesn't break top ten, the most absymal moribund demographic trends since black death, and a military that hasn't seen serious investment in 25 years?

This plays right into Anomolacaris' statement about tweeto von cheeto being a puppet. Not ascribing any stupidity to you about that, BTW. I understood what you meant.

She meant all the crazies north of the equator, where, it would seem, most crazies seem to be.

OFC all the crazies are in the global north. It;s well developed with a continuous history of grudges and scores to settle. The global south is a bunch of penal colonies and plantations.
@Atlas...
So, let me get this right. The islamic state turns on all their fellow muslims......Russia buddies up with assad to offer him political protection while destablizing the established order as he gasses his own people...and iran positions for strategic depth in an eventual bid to attack isreal.....and still.. somehow...you find a way to blame the Great Satan?
Impressive, you're a shoe in for whenever khamenei dies. That train will never be late.

Didn't Trump once say that only fools warn their enemies of intended actions?
I think I heard that Syria is dispersing it's air force.
Maybe we'll get by with a token shoot and bluff this time.

The problem with the west going into Syria was that it would only ever have been a quick in and out with a saturation bombing campaign. As soon as the troops left the country would have quickly devolved into Somalia on steroids.
The only thing worse was the actual plan B: Give the Gulf states the money &weapons to arm ISIS (especially after the main opposition groups started refusing the guns).

The world, including handsome leaders like Trudeau and Macron, all supporting and some contributing to the US air strikes and unanimously speaking out against Syria, and Russia's support of them. Just like Putin wanted. Anamolacris and Fireball called it. Trump just got played!
