    The new regime would be controlled by Saudi Arabia and UAE. There more jihadists in Syria than Syrian free army fighters. Assad got toppled those groups would start fighting among themselves and start a new civil war. Iraq is very different the largest ethnic population in Baghdad is Shia.

    So you agree then that Russia was always in Syria and were never going to leave. Well we're making progress :)

    Is America going to pull of its base in Rhineland-Palatinate ( Germany) or pull of its numerous bases around Asia? Russia standing by its ally in a time of crisis why would they? America has set up 9 or 10 makeshift bases in Syria that's an invasion of another country.

    Deflection again please Cheerful show some good form and admit you were wrong. Again if you want to discuss other countries and their misdeeds you can start a thread about that.

    It, not deflection you asking Russia to abandon its ally Syria. Tartus naval base existed before this crisis started so it's an irrelevant point to bring it up. America bases are new and do you think America is going to leave Syria when Assad wins?

    The thread title is The Vladimir Putin appreciation thread. It, not a thread about Putin doing wrong in Syria. But I debate with you guys because everyone has their own viewpoint.

    10 bases...more like 10 training camps

    No I never said that. I responded to a post where you said that Russia got involved to help the Syrian civilians which I have now shown to be absolute bull****. Russia have been involved with boots on the ground since the 1970s and all their recent actions show is them protecting strategic assets and not thecSyrian people. Again you want to discuss the Yanks etc start a thread about it.

    Agreed, but these bases are like ones they have set up in Afghanistan.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling

    Uh-huh...they were a bit light on the ground before the Russians got involved,you mean to tell me the biggest and supposedly most advanced army in the world didn't see all those Toyota pick up trucks thundering across the desert and kicking up dust clouds with head choppers hanging off the back of it before that...who are you kidding

    Never said Russia joined the war to help Syrian citizens? I said Russia was asked to join the war and help its ally defeat Isis and other militant jihadists groups who were destroying Syrian cities, towns and villages.

    Tartus is a naval base to land troops and refuels ships and dock. Russia is using mostly air power to defeat the Jihadists. Tartus does not facilitate airstrips and runways for aircraft to take off and land.

    Ah the usual Russia is the bad guy stint by west and there cohorts in the media. Gallup done a survey a few years back, it wasnt Russia who was voted as the greatest threat to world peace with three times the amount of votes to there nearest rivals in 2nd place who was Pakistan. Can anybody guess who was top?


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling

    Even the BBC has given up pretending that NATO is fighting terrorism.
    The only thing that surprises me about this article is how it got passed British Government censorship. Worth reading.

    Amazing that this video has reached western audiences so quickly.
    It was probably filmed about a week ago.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the majority of the Turkish backed "rebels" are the same cohort.

    70% + of the vote in favor of Putin.

    He's a popular man, like all dictators.

    It takes less than a second for data to be transmitted from Russia to basically anywhere in the world.

    I's pretty impressive. I believe they call it "The Internet". I think it might catch on.
