Diplomatically this is a LOT more clear cut than Afghanistan... the government has broken the Geneva convention for christ's sake.

and I can definitely see boots on the ground being debated heavily. Especially with how our presence throughout the middle east has been, its definitely not an easy sell. All we've really heard was 'military action', the only specific part was cruise missile strikes. At the same time, its clear we couldn't overthrow Assad without actual military presence. And while we're already attempting to fund, equipt and train rebels we really haven't been doing it too efficently. What I see happening is more of a coordinated effort to aid the rebels indirectly, knowing full-blown military action could end terribly.

idk about you but im more concerned with money than the world. i couldnt care less about kids i've never met

@TYSON team america, fuck yeah!
@Sharp Nine the sniper was the final straw imo - it may not b directly linked, but it still gives argument to..

Lmao@rawn m.d.

that could lean the UN into it, but with no one being hurt, no motive, and the UN in a stalemate I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

the sniper attack hasnt been attributed to anyone and if the UN DOES act it won't act on anything but significant evidence

agreed

I was with u till this^^^^

I usually agree that America gets involved in other countries affairs much too often, but in this case I feel like if nothing is done more innocent people will just keep dying.

I dunno if it is definitely the right thing to do, but something has to be done.

Admittedly the pictures of dead kids on the news has swayed me emotionally, which is why i would make a horrible politician, but i think some things are more important than politics.

Congrats on being a terrible human being.

Understood.

btw i have it on good authority that there are so many drones flying over syria atm its amazing they dont crash into each-other

You know I have to ask what that authority is or assume its Rawnmo

well all i can elude to is ex-employment intell

and what Kansas and Mou are known for producing

thanks

word, im with you yo

but its all money

it looks like it costs money to go to war, but politicians and shit have vested interests in companies that profit from war, so off bat thats a reason to go in, and control of a region is $$$ syria is in russias pocket but if we fund/participate and help a rebellion the next regime can be in ours and we get the benefits of whatever they control even if its just a safe place to wage war from onto neighboring countries

its all schemes and shit at the end of the day for $$$$

uh=oh that was more the case with like ww1 n 2 tbh

war used to cause mass industry for the effort

now its more a flex, i mean ya there is a $$$ component, but not as much as b4

its ALL money

ww1 and 2 boosted our economy no doubt, but they had such a giant effect because those wars were so big. the whole country was in the war effort

now its companies and corporations that have the politicians and lobbyists in there pockets. these same companies rebuild the areas we destroy and get paid to do so, these same companies build the munitions we pay for and shoot etc, so they are profiting, and on top of that the control of a region is MAJOR profits no matter how small it is. you got a sovereign nation basically paying tribute to you

i mean look in afghanistan, we got troops guarding the poppy fields, we're getting the opium from the source for pharmeceutical companies $$$$, afghanistan supplies like 90 percent of the worlds heroin, cia has been known to sell drugs to raise funds, russia has a giant heroin problem, we're supplying the heroin contributing to the degredation of there whole infrastructure from the bottom up.

meanwhile once in syria its like oh watsup you palestinians we here with israel cuz we love the jews

next thing you know reptilians are flying out of CITADELS like dragons eating kids and pulling off the veil in the introduction to the NWO

!!!

we need to mass produce Krokadile and just kill russia

what im reading tho is the rebels and shit are al qaeda? does that make sense? so we'd essentially be teaming up with who we've been fighting to overthrow syria

hmmm

i dont get any of this shit. i just throw my logic at it like a net with a big hole in the middle trying to grasp any shred of understanding and come up with nothing.

lol the enemy of my enemy is my friend

thats how the Middle East works
