Current Affairs Syria...

[bol-uk]

Not really, just push 500,000 troops in, sort it out, put in a new government, then let the U.N. tell every country including Russia to get out.

This has nothing to do with what exists in Syria. Assad allows Russia Air and Naval facilities which Russia wants, so they will defend him for all they are worth. However, remove the war, remove the government and all bets are off. If Syria and its people want Russia, then so be it, it’s their choice, but it’s never too late.......

You make it sound so
Simple!

It is, if there is a will to do something....you seem to think it can’t be done by the USA, UK, France, EU, NATO, the largest, most powerful and richest grouping in the world by far.....

I’m with you. I’d rather the West stopped messing around and sent in troops and stopped the whole bloody mess........

If this (a crusade against the murderous scum of the world) was what was on offer then it would at least have some logic behind it - but of course there is zero chance of us doing that, and even less chance of us doing it in places like Yemen where our chums are doing it or to prevent an actual genocide happening to the Rohingya, which is too far away and has nothing we want.

Well that’s Syria sorted on to the next.

Sadly recent history has shown us that coalitions , money and even good intentions are absolutely no substitute for an actual plan and particularly an exit strategy.

The last few interventions have hardly been glowing examples of how international coalitions should use military intervention.

I ain't got no quarrel with no Syrian.

No Syrian ever called me a Honky.

So we should do nothing. Ok..........that’s sounds like a plan.......now do you have any idea perhaps about what should be done, or are you sitting on the fence with Corbyn......

Again. So what would you like to see the West do.......

 

[peteblue]

Come on lads, you all know what we shouldn’t do, now any chance of sharing what we should do......

 

[MrPerfectNot]

Hey I’m just proposing a way of saving a further 400,000 deaths, yet you seem to be backing out now......I thought saving people was your primary thought. So let’s do it, or let’s stop pretending eh......

You're funny.

 

[peteblue]

You're funny.

I know.....

Start using its brain.

Keep ourselves firmly away from the situation and let it sort itself out rather than another well meaning intervention that leads to a power vacuum filled with murderous roving bands that really hate us?

I am assuming ofc that this new government would be one amenable to the west mate, more specifically one chosen by the US?

You think sending 500k troops - a frankly absurd number as at the height of troop involvement in Iraq the second time the US only had 166k in country. Would solve anything - besides create an absolute powder keg of US/UK/French etc troops present and active in the same country on opposing sides to the Russians, absolutely insane suggestion.

I'm also speculating that you suggest 500k troops, Russia to be kicked out and then in a country with 500k western troops in there the US go 'let's have democracy' an run an election LOL

Not checked other threads but i am guessing you aren't suggesting that we should go in Saudi or Israel to safeguard human lives and to bring democracy to those regions?

And do what....
