    Haha! OK. America bombed the Syrian compound in the country of Syria then. Much better. Was it justified?

    Yes .. If this eliminates a thread to American personnel and assets in the region

    You don't need to add "The country of Syria" You already mentioned it being Syria in the first sentence

    None of them are justifiable in my opinion but this thread is about Biden, we are discussing Biden and you started replying to me based on my comments about Biden's strike. Others have had the stones to say they agree with strike, why can't you? Because you don't know enough about you say, well read up on it.

    And as I've explained to you, you also don't know enough about it either to be angry or upset about it. Otherwise you would not be dodging questions about it. If you hear the words "Syria" and "bomb", you immediately assume it's not justified regardless of the circumstances is that not right?
    My views remain the same as many Democrats who are disillusioned by military action, however. You just don't want to hear anything negative about Biden, full stop. I agree he's a massive imrovement on Trump, but tone down the idolising.

    I've outlined many things, including quite recently, in which I disagree with Biden about as I preferred Sanders. So no I do not idolise him.
    There isn't really a discussion to be had until you voice an opinion about the Biden strike, on the Biden thread.

    I have voiced my opinion. My opinion is that I do not condone attacks on military installations without taking into account the context nor do I not automatically assume a strike is not justified purely because I do not like military foreign intervention of any kind.

    Gotcha. So glad we were able to come up with a new definition of the word bombing. I was so worried that Biden was next in the long line of presidents to drop bombs, but now I know it was an accurate airstrike on a Syrian compound and not a bombing. Go Biden!

    Its not a Biden Strike ... Just drop this nonsense ..... If you are really interested in the ins and outs of this conflict.

    Look, there's no point in continuing because you won't do me the basic courtesy of reading up about the topic we are discussing. Have a good one.

    Sorry, strike ordered by Biden. Go Biden!

    Uhh no .. The definition of bombing remains unchanged

    It doesn't matter who is in charge ... as long as there are American assets in the region any American president has a duty to protect those assets/personnel ....

    Oh you didn't understand the point I was making about reading up about it. That's cute. Have a good one.
    I actually have read up about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,151 ✭✭✭Curse These Metal Hands



    I actually have read up about it.

    After hours of claiming you hadn't? Methinks someone is trying to save face. I'll assume you agree with it then. We got there eventually!

    It's ok, you've completely missed the point. Don't worry about it.

    Yes I already said so earlier

    It was a bombing in Syria correct ...But Syria wasn't bombed when you use the correct context... The compound was bombed would be the correct sentence to use

    Do try to keep up

    Doesn't agree with foreign military action of any kind but supports action in Libya and Syria. At least you're consistent in your hypocrisy.

    So you've been arguing about nothing then. Because the original post you took issue with was my use of the term bombing.

    When did I say I don't agree with foreign military action of any kind?

    No ..With your term "Bombing Syria"

    Just read back ... You might pick it up reading over it a couple of times

    But loads of posters here went mad when Trump killed the Iranian general in Iraq, despite having loads of justification in terms of protecting American assets in the region and the blow back for American interests being extremely limited (Iranians shooting down a passenger jet) ???

    Mod: Spent the last ten minutes of my life that I can't get back reading through two pages of absolute pedantry. Curse These Metal Hands, Aristotle, weisses - if you don't quickly learn how to engage in some form of actual discussion, I'll remove you from the thread.

    Proportionate is the key word imo

    Tim Apple anyone?

    TBF at least he knew what position he held, he never referred to Mike Pence as the president. btw this is not the first time Biden has referred to Kamala as the president, he has said it on a few occasions.

    Not sure of the context of the latest speech, but if it's anything related to the Senate, then it is President Harris (as the Vice-President of the USA also holds the position of Senate President). I believe this has come up before.

    Trump called Kevin McCarthy ‘Steve’.

    Are you suggesting that in these instances he completely forgot that he was in fact president? Is that what you're going with?

    Find those little verbal miscues by Biden, very endearing.

    he stumbled 3 times getting on to his plane today , barely a day after Putin wished him good health, Coincidence?

    Verbal miscues and an inability to navigate a set of stairs without going head over tits are indeed endearing.
