U.S War Ready Yet Again.....

[Siсiliаn Ноundd]

So I watch the news from BBC and "Propaganda Controlled" U.S News. The Syrian Government used chemical weapons on its people... From what I know the US is ready to strike Syria, and Syrian response would be to strike Israel. Then Israel response would be to in quote "Attack Back With Strength" Another war? Whats your input?

I think its correct for U.S to go on this one. But maybe the best option would be an U.N deployment, since crimes against civilians are going on there.

Yes I think something should be done if the government is killings its citizens with Chemical Weapons and, Yes one would think the UN would, but we all know the U.N is supplied and ran by the USA. So instead of admitting US troops and weaponry into the UN and such, the US will just simply do it them self.

...crimes against civilians are going on there.

U.S have no interest to save those poors but only to support its colonial plans in the Middle East and secure Israel for long time as it can..


Since when a colonial power looks for the others freedom ?!

Well there main reason for being there is because there is a "straight" that most of the worlds oil gos through that Syrian Government can really put a "damper" on. That is there main concern, not the people.

The US has over-extended its military operations around the globe. Introducing a new front in Syria would be disastrous for our economy and standing in the world's eyes.

Air strikes and cruise missiles are about all the US can really afford to do in Syria right now. And only 9 percent of Americans support US intervention in Syria. I don't think the Obama administration can afford to spend the political capital on this.

If they can restrain it to a light slap on the wrist over the course of a day or two, most Americans will yawn and go along with it. However it is fairly likely that this will turn into something more involved though. The pre-Libya definition of a "no fly zone" typically didn't include providing an effective air force for one side. It makes one wonder what a "proportioned response" to a "moral obscenity" could turn into. There is also the issue of Syria having a fair deal more anti-air and anti-ship capability than Iraq or Libya had. Especially if they have their S-300s from Russia yet. American/British casualties are not unthinkable. That could make even this 9% figure drop quickly. The flip side of this is that after all of the talk about "red lines" it might cost too much political capital to back down.

As far as the repercussions for Israel go, I don't think it will be too serious. I don't think Assad has the ability or the desire to launch a direct assault. Given the rabid support Israel has from American evangelical Christians, attacking it likely isn't in Syria's overall best interests. There might be some proxy attacks, but the threat is much less serious now than it was at the start of the civil war. Hamas has been steadily distancing itself from the Iran-Syria bloc and aligning itself with the (pro-uprising) Gulf Sunni powers. The related elements in Egypt, the Sinai specifically, look to be gearing up for their own insurgency against the military government. Finally, Hezbollah might be about to get involved in its own civil war in Lebanon. They might try and replicate their 2006 bump in popularity with an attack on Israel, but it would be a huge gamble.

One possible impact of Western intervention in the Syrian war is an escalation of violence in Iraq. In recent weeks there has been significant fighting between the Al Nusra Front, who are being aided by the Islamic State of Iraq, and Syrian Kurds. The Iraqi Kurds or some of the recently arrived refugees might begin retaliating against Sunni Arabs in Iraq. Then there is the ongoing Shia-Sunni violence in the centre of the country. Western airstrikes aren't likely to have a calming influence on that. On a national level it might push Iraq even further into the Iranian camp. If one takes US foreign policy at face value, the toppling of the anti-Iran, anti-Al Qaeda regime in 2003 looks like a worse decision every day.

What a mess. It's going to take a long time for there to be a resolution to this.

I never understood why people felt the need to repost their username after every post they make.

Seems a bit like having a wank, to me.

It 'signs off' what you're saying and underlines it, in my opinion.

Right...

It could be bullshit in its purest form, but its also not too smart to say its bullshit until you do not know.
