Out of curiosity...are there Americans posting here about Russia & Syria?

Hmm, how on earth do you find the time for all of that when you're simultaneously flying around the planet talking sense into unsavouries with your 'TEAM'? Or are you still on 'stand down'?

 

America should not get involved with Syria or Russia.

 

It gets worse when you point out that what they call soccer is actually football. And if you want to get a reaction when they ask "Then what do you call our game of football" tell them "We call it rugby for girls"

 

I think you will be hard pressed to find a computer manufactured in the US. They assemble them from components purchased from China, Taiwan etc.
So is there such a thing as an American computer?

 

there is nothing constructive we can do. Arabs are all about being backward. The oil will dry up in the mideast and we will pump more of our own oil so we will continue the pivot to asia.

 

We are just tired of the BS over in the middle east. Its like a broken record.

 

Not until an errant missile splashes a plane.

 

I have considered the same theory but as you say there is no proof. I suspect Obama didnt have to pay Putin, all he had to do is leave a hole and putins ego would fill it.

 

I should have come on to this thread earlier. I am an American...and woke up to what my country was doing when Obama went against the most tolerant leader in the Middle East. I knew people who were moving back to Syria and were praising Assad for what he did to the country...but it didn't matter to the sociopaths who control Washington. They wanted a gas pipeline to run through Syria from Qatar to break Russia's monopoly in Europe, so they decided to destroy a nation which finally began to prosper after so many years.

Frankly I believe Washington is controlled by satan, and they are heading us into WWIII. I am not the only one who thinks that. I won't even read Washington's propaganda news networks...which are all owned by the same corporations. The lies make me sick to my stomach. I prefer RT and Sputnik etc. or informative internet sources like Moon of Alabama, Washingtonsblog, Paul Craig Roberts, Consortiumnews, Ron Paul, New Eastern Outlook, etc.

As for what the US is doing in Syria, it is supporting the terrorists who are killing hundreds of Christians each day in order to get rid of Assad who is the legally elected president so they could put in that gas pipeline. In other words, Washington is saying it's either our way, or we will destroy you and any country that goes against us. So much for democracy.

 

European liberals liked Obama in 2008. You were falling over yourselves. And now you blame America for what the Obama administration is doing. You don't even care to know that many Americans have opposed the administration's decision to give weapons to the "rebels" in Syria, because many of them end up joining ISIS or are also radicals.

The propaganda in the leftist liberal news media in 2008 was that Bush is evil because he intervened in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Obama would end these "imperialistic wars". Yeah, right. ISIS was not created by the US. It was rather allowed by the Obama administration to continue. It's because Obama and other leftists want Islamic radicals to become a threat to America and the whole Western world. Obama views the entire Western world as colonialist and imperialist, and wants to see it destroyed. And Putin is not doing this because he opposes terrorism. Russia has been the biggest sponsor of Islamic terrorism since the time of the Cold War. Putin doesn't care about the Christian people and others who are massacred by ISIS in the Middle East, anymore than Obama does. It's all about influence in the region and power for them, the evil globalist leaders.

 

You know this how? What are US special forces doing there?

 

Nope, we aren't.

 

Then what?

 

What are you going to do about that?

 

I'm doing the only thing I can do, and that is post facts that contradicts the spins of the media...with the hope that it might wake up the American people as to what Washington is doing.

 

Haha. Good luck with that.

 

Is that a serious question

 

WWIII.

 

Yes, it was a serious question.

I suppose it is eventually going to happen

 

Cant wait.

 

Sorry didn't mean to be rude. If you have Netflix, check out the documentary on the Syria and Ukraine conflicts. The Syrians have many "drop points" with US special operations in Syria. A camera crew follows along. They don't show identities of any of the personnel the Syrians are picking it up from...but it's very obvious.

Good watch though. Recommend it.

 

Why is that?

 

What provoked you to watch the documentary? What was the most interesting thing you learned from it?

 

I wasn't provoked. I'm a documentary buff. My girlfriend hates it, but I just love watching real TV sometimes. After I left the military I got kinda sick of violent movies.

I learned a lot actually. I learned that Russia, as annoying and arrogant as they are, is actually trying to play a vital role in helping the world against terrorism. I also learned that our current administration (which is now public knowledge obviously) is arming Syrian Al Qaeda rebels in hopes to defeat Assad. We took the wrong side. Do I blame Obama only? No. I blame pretty much all of Congress and Obama.

It's an interesting piece about the life of the different Syrian rebel factions. Not all are terrorists.

 

From my experience the most right wing European would be seen as a liberal by Republicans on this forum. I think most Europeans were happy to see a politician with a brain and human empathy after the terrible performance of Bush. Europe was as most of the world 100% behind the Afghan war and with good reason. You were attacked in a despicable and cowardly way by a maniac who was being sheltered by a state. No one disputed the legitimacy of the war and in fact NATO used article 5 for the first time.

The Iraq war was another matter but history has vindicated the Europeans who were against the war. Remember Freedom Fries? You probably don't. But I think many people in Europe did when Obama was elected.

Giving Obama the fault of ISIS after 8 years of war in the region under Bush is just silly.
