Syria is not worth a war with Russia

[Likkmee]

Syria is not worth a war with Syria.


It is not our problem. We are not the world's policeman.

UM. Nobody told you ? It's true.

 

[sparky]

Is there any syrian news worth reading today?

~S~

Assad is as reprehensible as a being can be. That he is willing to sacrifice his people just to remain head of state is another disgusting example of the abuse of power. Unfortunately, there have been and are many men like him. Eliminating him would not end that, and might not even end the suffering of the Syrians.
The consequences of major conflict between the U.S. and Russia are enormous. It is something to be considered only in the most dire of situations.
Syria is a horrible mess, but it does not justify what would happen in the event of wide scale conflict between two powers such as America and Russia.

I’m not sure what alt-right altfacts news sources you guys are mainlining, but there will be no war with Russia now that we have hit Syria.

When exactly did the American right decide to cower to Russia, being so scared of Putin and believing this utter horseshit that WWIII is just around the corner if we stand up to this guy?

we should invade canaduh

most of us know which way to go

I doubt most of you would know which way to go.

 

[sparky]

Stand up to Putin for what? Bombing facilities that have 48 hours to evacuate? ~S~

We have two options. Quit dicking around and confront Russia head on, or get the hell out of the way. Our attack on Syria will have the same result as if we had done nothing

Confront Russia on what? Occupation of Syria?

I don’t know.

It’s the OP that is worried about war with Russia.

Confront them if we want them to stop gassing. If not, then get the hell out of the way and let them have at it

It’s not Russia that’s gassing the people. Russia doesn’t want that. But Assad is going to do what he wants. So hit what’s valuable to Assad.

It's so reassuring that we have many foreign affairs experts on our board here.

Don't be fooled. Russia is responsible giving Assad the approval. Assad doesn't take a dump without Russia approval

I doubt most of you would know which way to go.

Towards the smell of the beer, eh?

 

[ChrisL]

When are people going to realize that the Russian powers that be and the American powers that be don't really care about the Syrian people? This isn't about the Syrian people. It's about power grabs and displays of military might.

 

[there4eyeM]

How is it 'alt-' anything to point out objective, historically based issues? One need not be 'right' or 'left' to want to avoid damaging America.

I would ! That's by where Santa lives !

Hopefully this is just theater designed to get his approval numbers up.

Voters tend to support a war time president but I don’t think trump will be rewarded for this.

Someone did a poll and only 1 person said we should get involved. Republicans can’t be happy we’re getting involved

 

[ChrisL]

Syria isn't our problem. OUR problem is that we keep getting involved in other people's bullshit, all the while knowing what a fucked up situation it is and that our involvement only adds to making it an even more fucked up situation. We need to stay out of it and worry about our own problems. We can't rescue all the stray dogs in the world.

 

[ChrisL]

I really don't want to have anything to do with it. I don't want their refugees either. Let England and France take them. They are the ones who apparently want them, so let them have them.
