Regime Change

[toc]

How many civilians was Assad killing before there was a civil war?

Assad is facing the regime change via civil war because Syria helped the insurgency against the US in Iraq. As to how many 100s of thousands or even millions of civilian innocent people die or have their lives devastated as a result.............does not matter. Very sad indeed!!

There are dozens of other civil wars happening around the world that we do not even hear about on Cable News channels. All for geopolitical chess game of those who think killing or hurting helpless people is a form of entertainment.

Russians are not going anywhere from Syria and so is Assad as a result. If US persists more, then Russians will open another hot front against the US somewhere else, like Iraq or Afghanistan and end result will be deeper war involvement and shittier US economy.

Is getting rid of Assad worth the risk of putting these people in charge?

I understand Assad is a bad guy. But why is it exactly that America needs to get rid of him?

Backing islamic rebels to overthrow governments in the middle east is the greatest folly of my lifetime. I don't know how it could get any worse other than maybe starting a nuclear war.

i guess its time for me to say i don't like the looks of Tillerson. Was giving the guy benefit of the doubt, but he does not look like a diplomat to me, with an eternal scowl on his face. The optics are awful. Now he's going to Europe to meet with Russians?

I agree there is no need.

There is a desire.

All the slander conjured up against Syria is to support the desire.

The desire may well be based on building one kind of pipeline versus another.

It could be as simple as that.

That certainly sounds like a good excuse to start WW III.

That certainly sounds like a good excuse to start WW III.

It might also have something to do with the survival of the "petro-dollar".

The petro-dollar is an agreement to buy oil from Saudi Arabia (or their oil alliance) with U.S. Federal Reserve notes, which is also considered the world reserve currency. It's an attempt to monopolize the purchase of oil from sources that will only take one kind of currency over another, and to protect that monopoly with force. It's a way to literally prop up the forced currency, which may well lose it's value if it wasn't needed to buy the damned oil from the monopoly.

That's what has started wars, and what might start this one.

Meanwhile, Iran will take other currency for it's oil, and Syria has said it can run a pipeline to the world through it's borders, and Russia supports this.

There is indeed a rival alliance, a monopoly, that want's to run through Syria to reach Europe.

I have no idea what her policies are on other issues, probably straight out of the Obama playbook, but she and Rand Paul are the only people making sense on this Syria business.

When they try to impeach Trump, does he think Goldman Sachs partners are going to take to the streets?

I'll say this, if they have enough money to piss away on this kind of thing, I don't want to hear anyone moaning about what the wall will cost.

You poor stupid fuck, I'm not suggesting we nuke them. I'm pointing out the inhumanity of the do nothing but sit back and watch while thousands die drip by drip and then claim to be concerned about their lives. America, the free world at large doesn't give a flying fuck about those people. Never have. Never will. If they were dogs we'd put them down, but then we love dogs don't we? You're the worst kind of hypocritical asshole. Go write a check to some charity, but don't get your hands dirty. Fuck you.

Oh, man, just shut up, your digging yourself an even bigger hole. You posted "drop a couple nukes". It's an immoral and disgusting idea. Are you really this stupid that you don't understand why ?
