Re: Syrian War

That Arab Spring has bought so much misery in its wake, and we did have a hand in that IMO we encouraged it social media pushed it forward.

Re: Syrian War

If my recollection is correct when it all kicked off. The government of the day did not want to get involved and were constantly rebuked by the public for allowing the atrocities assad was perpetrating. It was only when public opinion grew that the government was forced to send out help and arms to the rebels. In fact much of this occurred before Al Qaeda or ISIS ever became involved because they were too stretched in Iraq .

At one point Assad was almost defeated and the rebels were at the gates of Damascus, and then the Russians stepped in and started giving him aid. And we know the reasons in my opinion for that, I've already mentioned

Re: Syrian War

The Syrian people had no qualms with Assad. The uprising started in Daraa due to a few school teenagers writing political graffiti on the walls.
President Bush insisted they were interrogated as they could have been connected to ISIS or Daesh .
Assad obliged.
The Parents objected and protests spread far and wide against the interrogation.

The West were absolutely involved , it had already been decided by Bush senior that the Middle East was to be 're-designed' .
The uprising in all the Arab nations was not coincidence, it was manipulated purely for regime change. It worked in Egypt, and Tunisia, as a different approach to invasion . Then came Syria.
They went in from the country to the towns, whipping up conflicting views.
The West and Israel have supplied weapons and money to the demonic forces, or to put it another way, caches of US and Israel weaponry and hardware have been found all over Syria in terrorist hideouts.
UK have financed the White Helmets to the tune of £19 million, an organisation that supports the terrorists ! USA have given them another £30- 40 million.
Unfortunately, US , the West, Israel ,Turkey might have just about had their tiny little eyes wiped, as in the last couple of days, China have offered to support Syria's re-building programme . So if China and Russia have their noses in Syria, it's not good for anyone , least of all world peace if the West once again, decide they are going to change sides and protect Assad from these evil forces !
It was also announced this week by the Pentagon, that there was no proof that Assad had used chemical weapons.
Now is this to tone down all the rhetoric that has been flying back and forth and another way to calm a situation based on lies, or is it because Russia and Turkey have now got more power in the region than US, which was not the point of the exercise.
Word coming out in mornings news , but we probably won't hear about that on Western TV /BBC :

Botched airstrike by US coalition warplanes kills dozens of civilians - mostly women, children - in east Syria

We know US and UK can lie through their back teeth, they did just that to qualify the invasion of Iraq and we believed them then, I don't believe them now I'd sooner believe the ordinary suffering people who live in Syria, and their accounts .

Re: Syrian War

The link you give I see is to a pro Assad online news site .

Re: Syrian War

Shhhh! Don’t say things like that.

Re: Syrian War

There were and still are a lot of people who were happy living under assads rule. I doubt many prefer what they have now to the way it was before.

Re: Syrian War

Assad is an evil bastard, who wouldn't be in power if the Russians weren't supporting him.

Re: Syrian War

I always think in these countries be careful what you wish for, regime change isn't always huge best idea no matter who is in charge. If he was ousted now who would take over ? In a void the most violent most extreme grab power.

Re: Syrian War

This is true in the same way that Iraq was arguly better off. under Saddam except for all the people he and his insane sons murdered and tortured but he did keep peace among factions with an iron fist.

Re: Syrian War

So where would you like it to come from ? The Daily Mail that has no reporters in the area ?

Try this one, but I'm quite sure if it's not an Israeli news report or Daily Mail, it will be dismissed as per usual.
