It would appear that May and Macron are falling into line behind Trump but I'm not sure the British population are so eager. I can't speak for the peolple of France of course and Germany has already stated she will not be a part of any military response.

second, removing Assad will not necessarily solve the issue. The Assads are an extended clan, brothers, cousins and other relatives control the government. Remove one and another one will take over, who may be worse... third, the Assads are part of the Alawite clans, around 2,000,000 strong, which have key position and know that if the Assads fall from power, all 2,000,000 men, women and children will most likely be killed and/or stripped of all their assets and/or tossed out as refugees, so even if Assad is killed, they will support his replacement since the alternative is unthinkable. this is a very complex situation. Western politicians are always looking for the quick fix or the popular slogan, but there is no easy answer.

Now that there is a pause in the response to the chemical warfare used on innocent people in Syria (blink) I hope it wasn't from the threat of Russian doubling down on the promise to punish anyone that strikes back at Syria. This could set a red line in other do not touch or we will touch back in future conflicts of this nature. One more note has Syria been involved in any cyber warfare in the past? If so could they, with the help of the more intelligent Russian allies, strike back with cyber warfare?

Question, after the opposition in Syria is finally crushed and Assad is the unopposed President of the world's largest rubble heap who pays for the rebuilding?

I think we all remember Obama drawing his red line.
And nothing happened after Assad had used chemical weapons or was accused of have used chemical weapons. I thought WHAT what about this red line Assad has crossed it and Obama does nothing-Guess it was someone called a salut speech(skål tale in Danish) Some days ago I came to the conclusion why he didn't act as he had said he would. He have been told by his security-ting-people In the war against ISIS it would not be so good to weaken the Syrian army now that ISIS is strong. (of course I could be totally wrong) Today ISIS is almost gone. Markus |

I got a laugh from a Armchair General who rang in on this subject on the radio. He said the West can clean shop and wipe Syria and Russia off the map, his comment on Russian technology was it was at best 25 years out of date and rusting.
Well on that note all I can say good job people like that have no power to start military action. Trump and Putin should meet and work things out face to face.

That's correct, those groups don't bother me. Now vegans on the other hand, they're annoying.

Dont worry, over 40% of vegans were repeatedly found in medical studies over the past years to be ill from nutrition deficits, and practice food habits that even may damage their genes if practiced too long. With some luck your annoyance extincts itself. See them in holy cow's heaven.

Despot Bashar al-Assad and his British-born wife, dubbed “the First Lady of Hell,” enjoy a lavish lifestyle while children are gassed to death on the streets of Syria.
They don't even live in their palace due to the war nearby (only ten (10) miles from the chemical war going on in their country) http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/04...n-tatters.html Quote:
