  1. Lol. Idiot. If it made no sense for the Syrian regime to attack its own people it wouldn't have been fighting them for the past seven years.

  2. Do the Russian's really want to go to war in defence of the right of a mass murdering tyrant to use chemical weapons on his own people? I don't think so. Turkey shot down a Russian jet that Putin said wasn't even in Turkish airspace, and the US wiped out hundreds of Russians recently in Syria's Deir al-Zour province. And what did Putin do? He buried his dead in meek silence.

  3. Putin has turned Russia into North Korea 2.0. He needs the democratic west as an enemy, because all dictators fear democracy.

  4. Putin will be crushed like a bug!

  5. Максим Седов Do you really think the west will give in to Russia? And even if Putin gets his way on this, what has he accomplished? Assad continually uses chemical weapons, and Russia stands by him? What victory is that? And what will be the cost to Russia in the long term? Does Russia really believe it has more in common with Assad, the ayatollah, and North Korea than it does with the west? What kind of future is that?

  6. Putin's support of Assad and his chemical weapons has made Russia very unpopular in the muslim world. And if Russia is prepared to use chemical weapons, then they can't very well complain if they become targets of chemical weapons attacks themselves.

  7. Western forces have been targeting ISIS in Syria for years.

  8. paksta 1) So was the Russian jet flying in Turkish airspace, or not? And do you think the US would even notice Russian sanctions? (if you reply with a non relevant point, I will reply in kind) 2) Most people have no doubt Assad carried out another chemical attack, because Russia vetoed a UN investigation into it. Again. 3) Libya is in a far better position than Syria, as they avoided seven years of all out war. If your argument is that getting rid of strongmen doesn't work, then by looking at the mess in Syria, we can conclude that propping them up doesn't work either. In fact, as we have seen in both Tunisia and Egypt, countries are very likely to avoid war altogether if their dictators step down from power when they lose their authority. Assad should have gone long ago. It is only because of the Russians that he hasn't.

  9. Lol. The US vastly outspends Russia on defence without even trying.

  10. Last time I looked Russia couldn't even influence it's near neighbours.

  11. Nope. But the North Korean regime continually whips up ant-American hysteria in an effort to hide its own failings.

  12. Like all tyrants, Putin has to lie about his popularity.

  13. There wouldn't be a problem if Russia stopped using chemical weapons on civilians.

  15. There is already a power vacuum in Syria. That's why the country has been at war for seven years. Because Assad lost authority once he turned on his own people. The same happened in Libya. The countries that avoided war, were the ones who's dictators stepped down once they lost authority (Tunisia and Egypt). Assad would have been forced out and the war avoided if Russia had not propped it's puppet up.

  16. 1) So, if Putin just slaps a few weak sanctions onto Turkey after they just downed a plane that, remember, according to Putin, wasn't even flying in Turkish airspace, what makes you think he will start world war 3 over Trump striking at Assad's chemical weapons airbases again? He didn't last time. 2) Libya is fractured and chaotic. But compared to the disaster that is Syria, it is in a far better position. As we know, there has been over six years of all out war in Syria, with large areas under the control of ISIS. Think that is better? 3) Why would Russia investigate an attempted assassination in the UK? It has no legal authority to do so. Just as the UK has no legal authority to investigate similar murders in Russia (and there have been many). We know that Assad has launched numerous chemical attacks against enemy held areas. We know that Russia has backed and supported him in this. We know Russia covers it up in the UN. And we know that each time the excuse has been the same: 'Why would Assad do this if he is winning?' That same excuse has been repeated for years. And as we know, Russia is not only prepared to support Assad's use of chemical weapons in Syria, but it's also prepared to use them in the west. As the Skripal case shows.

  17. Doesn't your god care about kids being targeted by chemical weapons?
