I seriously doubt that...they should be well aware they are 'next on the list' and if they do anything stupid their support from Russia and China would soon diminish.

Chemical and biological weapons are banned, if they use it, all support from Russia and China will be withdrawn. Not to mention sanctions if not direct military actions by NATO and/or UN. If that happens, there is absolutely no possible way that Syria can win.

I was saying that a lot of Libyan armament like MANPADS fell into hands of all sort of rebel/terrorist fractions....anarchy in Syria may cause similar outcome.
They have loads of chemical stuff laying around in same stockpiles as conventional ammo.
It all just seats there without extra measures....

Syria is not a signatory of the CWC.

Yes I know. Others are and will condemn any use of it. Maybe even do something about it. There is one thing I find strange, Israel has no interest in this. Syria is an old and hated enemy. If there`s going to be foreign intervention, will Israel participate in it?

As a representative of Zionist conspiracy to control Arab world?
It would be PR disaster for the west .

They watch too much Zion Protocols crap.....

I sort of doubt they would directly participate. With the way things are going in Egypt I would think Israel would want the two factions in Syria to either destroy each other or fight on forever. As long as they are fighting them selves they are not available to join up with Egypt (and Iran assuming Assad wins in Syria, Saudi perhaps if he doesn't) and go after Israel.

If I were in Tel Aviv, I would be laughing my head off right now.

Of course, there is the danger of the end results of these 'Arab Springs' leading into a large Arabic superstate which will band together and provide a new villain for Tom Clancy novels for the next decade...

Lawless and fractured Arab states might be great pain in the back as well.

Let us all be positive...Assad will soon tire of the fighting and step down as soon as his Dacha build is completed in Siberia

Oberon · 06-24-12, 05:25 AM

Well, Turkey has used Article Four to call a meeting of NATO, which is more than I suspected it would do.
I doubt much more than sanctions will come from this meeting...but it's an interesting development nonetheless.
