  5.  @irateindividual8086  We weren't going along woth the US we were enforcing EU sanctions. We are sanctioning a leader in Syria that has been bombing his own civilians. That seems right to me.

  6.  @irateindividual8086  it's not that he was fighting the war, but the manner in which he was fighting it. But of course I wouldn't back Islamic extremists, but that's not all the opposition fighting Assad. That you try an reduce it to that suggests you know your wrong. Its pretty easy to see there is other opposition from the biggest area left not under Assad being the SDF.

  7.  @irateindividual8086  the difference is how you deal with a friendly government compared to an adversary. With Saudi Arabia we can encourage them to better targets because we're in the room. One of the weapons we sell them in the paveway iv bomb. It more accurate but with less explosives than the alternative, that reduces collateral damage. We don't have that option with Syria. So we use adversarial methods, like sanctions. As for gas the UN have supported the fact the Syrian government has used it, it not just a western claim. I don't see an issue with using when your winning, if you think its helpful it still is. It seems more useful as a weapon of terror for suppression than a battle winner to me.
