Re: Boris Johnson warns Russia US could strike Syria AGAIN
Personally, I wish Boris would stop with the war cries and be a bit more diplomatic with his words. The USA rightly took measured steps to retaliate for the horrific chemical attack Assad committed against his own people. This was a warning to Assad and Putin that the world would never stand for such action by any country. The USA as the most powerful country in the world sent a warning to Putin that by backing Assad, he was as guilty.What he does not need is our Foreign Sec. going ya boo to him publicly. Putin already holds Boris and his carefully tousled hair in contempt, Such goading of Putin from Boris does him or us any good.(Everyone knows what a rat is capable of when trapped in a corner!)
Best to shut up Boris and let the USA do the jawing.

Of course, he went to the same school as Cameron. Perhaps that's how they educate them there.

Yes, we are a member of NATO, and I understand that we have consequent responsibilities, but so are countries like Denmark, the Netherlands and even Germany. Do they go sticking their noses in here, there and everywhere?
No. Neither should we.

Re: Boris Johnson warns Russia US could strike Syria AGAIN
HiBoris is dangerous, he is making the UK look foolish.
He is picking a fight with Putin, not good for the UK.
He has suffered some serious setbacks this week.
First of all, his threat of even more serious sanctions on Russia has been well and truly kicked into touch by the G7.
Secondly his threats about Syria have been kicked into touch by the USA.
Thirdly his threats about the Ukraine have also been kicked into touch.
Boris should have been going to meet Putin in Russia, he cancelled the meeting.
Rex Tillerson, the USA Secretary of State is off to Moscow to meet Putin.
He has already said that the USA is not bothered about the Ukraine.
He will be doing some straight talking with Putin.
There is a deal to be struck with Putin about Syria.
Putin drops Assad, but gets it's warm water port.
Now that would be a winner for all concerned.
I sincerely hope that it happens.

Re: Boris Johnson warns Russia US could strike Syria AGAIN
I like what I'm reading here and agree with most of it ..but ...
What I want to know is what becomes of a Syria without Assad?
I know the first thought to many will be ... Syria will become a better place.
But will it? How? Carving it up in piecemeal chunks with bonus prizes for all those who were against Assad?
No world leader, and I include Trump, seems to have a clear idea on how to move forward other than for deposing Assad.

History will undoubtedly repeat itself, - did Dubbya & Bliar have any idea what was going to happen when they 'regime changed' Iraq???

A very astute post.
Syria was a Secular Society, loads of Christians, Yazidis etc freely able to worship and lead their lives.
Only issue was, you didn't cross Assad.
The only outcome we are heading for if we follow Boris and others is another hardline Muslim State along the lines of Saudi.
No Christian Churches, no Shia Mosques, all women required to cover up, banned from driving etc etc.
There will be a small Russian Enclave, same as Kaliningrad.
The continued march of Radical Islam.
