Re: Updated: Imminent U.S Missile Strike on Syria
Yeah your right Arthur lets take no action against Russia or it's interests ever why take the chance better to be safe then sorry right. Well actually no Putin is a threat and he must be opposed at every opportunity or more countries will find themselves under attack despite his rhetoric he is anything but a man of peace. He is a thug who managed to maneuver his way into political power and is now prepared to use every dirty trick in the book to extend his reach and the only thing inaction will do is cause more chaos in other areas.
Syria is a testing ground for the latest Russian toys for Putin if he was serious about aiding them he could have sent a big enough force to end the conflict once and for all he didn't because the situation there suits him and his plans.

The Russians have already said that they will target this country.
When you think - where goes our gas supplies come from - any answers

When aggressors are allowed to get away with aggression, it emboldens them. 'Do nothing' is not the sensible answer you think it is.

The trouble is most Brits are against military strikes OB as they don't want another ill conceived war on their hands like before..

Re: Updated: Imminent U.S Missile Strike on Syria
So what should our response be maybe a Youtube video with theresa may with a stern face and wagging finger that'll sort it all out, evidence is mounting that it was an attack by assads forces it's not the first time they have done it and if there isn't a strong response it will not be the last. Nobody wants a wider conflict but fear of that should not stop us doing something and if it does we become a lot weaker and assad and putin will be emboldened is that what we want either.

There are always dangers of getting involved, but if we sit back and do nothing, it's only a matter of time before Putin arrives to break our doors down. He won't knock first, although that might be what we polite British would think was polite.

Nothing to do with backbone OB or being a hawk or a dove as these are extremely weighty issues and one needs to consider the consequences before one makes the next step IMO.

Doing nothing is not an option. Russia is getting cocky and more reckless, Chemical weapons being used on streets of Britain (Salisbury) And not for first time.
What next?

Re: Updated: Imminent U.S Missile Strike on Syria
Not a lot. Whereas to go in gung-ho with all guns blazing to find out a month later, when the Middle east is a nuclear desert with 100's of millions of innocents killed, that you were the victim of an elaborate ruse...

Re: Updated: Imminent U.S Missile Strike on Syria
Russians are showing how inconsistent they are....
The chemical attack last week, they found no evidence of an attack.
The attack was carried out by the White helmets.
They refute the findings of the Salisbury OPCW inspection, but are now waiting for OPCW to go in tomorrow to do their findings in the Syria.
They could not be good liars if they tried.

Even if it was a real attack we don't know who did it. Seems strange they would launch a chemical attack knowing the backlash would be - the 'war' is going well for Assad, it doesn't make sense. It could very well have been the rebels themselves/ISIS - they wouldn't think twice about sacrificing their own, they are on the brink of losing. If there's 100% solid proof of responsibility lets see it.
Can't believe we're falling for this again. Syria is a disaster zone, there are no good sides, i've go no answers, but missiles won't help and possibly makes things much much worse for us all. (and why is it always us that has to get involved with the US ? We're a minor nation these days, - where are Ireland, Sweden, Mongolia, Turkey etc etc? Maybe they have too much sense, don't want to waste their time/money and value their own security. Seems like we're so desperate for a trade deal we're currying favour with Donald at any cost.
As for the Russians - sanctions are hitting them big time. Hit them with lots more; money hurts them most.

As the OPCW are going in to investigate tomorrow I would imagine no action will be taken until the publish their findings.
