We can’t just pick and choose when we want to wield the power of justice in the Middle East. We’ve always sat back(supported and funded at times) and let poor civilians die in Iraq,Yemen,Gaza,Afghanistan...but now all of a sudden we apparently care about the people of the region?

I also don’t get why Assad decides to use chemical weapons in an area he already controls and just as Trump was about to pull out of Syria.That won’t happen now.
He gained nothing.People say he’s just crazy but surely he’s not stupid.

We had a duty to act.

Exactly. Neither of these things make any logical sense at all, yet its the story we're sold. They don't even bother to come up with anything particularly sound these days; they know that most people won't be paying any attention at all, and of those that are paying attention most will just swallow the official version of events without question, and those who don't will be brushed off as "conspiracy theorists" :shrug:.



There's definitely something "more" in the works and it in my opinion there's no question that it ties in with the recent "attack" in England and diplomatic expulsions etc.

Bloody warmongers ,1st we had the load of utter BS about the poisoning to get us in the mood to go against Russia, then we've had photos of children to make our hearts melt so everyone backs this onslaught ,May has bitten off more than she can chew if she starts on Russia and their friends

I have mixed feelings on this one Chuff. I do believe everyone should stand up to anyone committing that kind of genocide, especially for the children - but another part of me feels why should the West always have to get involved with countries who are so bogged down with religion, which enables such zealots in the first place, they are unable to sort themselves out.

I firmly believe some religions hold countries back and are a breeding ground for dictators and psychopaths.
