Stand down: Moscow has ‘irrefutable’ evidence chem attack in Syria’s Douma was staged

[Mordac]

To what end? To scare off the remaining dying rebels? Fairly certain the Russian people don't wish to be associated with an ally that is complicit in killing children, yet here we are. Russia is a failed state and another problem that can be sorted out later. Syria on the other hand...

Why did France, UK and the US (FUKUS) bomb Syria before the inspectors could get to Douma and find out the facts?

Before Russian went into Syria the West had an opportunity to join forces in coordinated sorties attacking the rebels. Instead Rebels seem to be fighting each other with US / UK equipment. The whole thing stinks.

Since when did the Russian people actually have a choice in the matter?

Like I said before, it's a failed state.

And did the people of the UK have a choice in the matter when deciding to attack Syria without recalling parliament to vote on the matter?

Some of us bothered to stay behind so we have the right to complain or not. You, on the other hand, couldn't wait to f**k off to a more desirable homeland, and we dearly await the moment you can't wait to f**k off from here...

So predictable.

So predictable.

Indeed you are. Next...

Yes. They had that say when they voted in the last GE and May became president for life PM.

Or would you have preferred a referendum on the issue?

Recent British governments have dragged the electorate into conflict after conflict and clearly was nothing to do with self defence. Terrorism being the result instead, Mi5 said as much not long ago, we've brought more problems for ourselves.

A PM operating without a majority government, without recalling parliament to vote on going to war, without UN approval. Isn't this what we call a dictatorship?! Do as I do not as I say. Scary times.

without UN approval.

The Russians would veto any action. As they have repeatedly throughout the last 7 years. You'd rather Putin dictated USA/UK/French foreign policy, rather than our elected leaders ( who you may or may not like, but that's not relevant).

No, that's what we call "Intervention", dictatorships look more like Syria or Russia.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've read. The USA has thrown its weight around for the last several decades without the concern of any country / leader. And it shows no intention of changing that approach. That country has easily spilt more blood around that world than any other. And our government sucks its nipples for fear of consequences.

Russia might have a large Army, impressive numbers of tanks and aircraft, but much is obsolete and ageing in decay. Their aircraft carrier must be towed around for it breaks down every 5 minutes. It quality not quantity the counts.
