    That's a completely unrealistic suggestion in the context of the reality in Syria.

    Why?


    He was on the back foot because of external meddling and supply of weapons from you know who. Russia did not 'cause the mess'. Whatever their motives - I've no time for Putin - I still believe Russian intervention is key to a stable, peaceful Syria in the not too distant future.

    Yeah, that popular uprising never happened so, and wasnt crushed by tanks and barrel bombs, nope never happened. As long as Assad is in power, Syria will never know peace.


    That is completely and utterly missing the point. The point was that America deposed Saddam, created a 'democracy' and funneled astronomical amounts of funding into it - including billions into an army supplied with modern US weaponry and equipment.

    Stop deflecting, you're terrible at it. Its a completely separate issue.


    Actually Assad has reasonably strong levels of support. Obviously not all Syrian people support him - and didn't before all this began - but I think conservative estimates believe over 50-60% of the population do?

    Support Assad or shoot me and my family. Great options if your living in State Terror controlled regions.


    Are you seriously trying to deny that opposition forces aren't guilty of horrific war crimes and atrocities? They absolutely are, and I'm not just talking about ISIS.

    Never said they werent. You've missed the point again. Isis are one of the most barbaric forces humanity has seen since ww2
    Also, it's hardly black or white or west versus east. It's hardly difficult to admit that Syrian forces are guilty of crimes whilst also accepting the opposition are as well.

    Both sides are at it.
    Never ceases to amaze me how some people on boards seem to want to 'pick a side' like it's a competition.

    But this is exactly what you are doing.


    Do you honestly believe that Russia isn't pulling the strings of Assad and the SAA?
    So why leave him in power?


    Yes...in theory. However we have to deal with reality here.

    Im dealing with the reality, are you?

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    Really? And the Russians have been a bastion of peace and progress?

    Can't think of any historical event the Russians or the Soviet Union faked? We have numerous false flag events stage-managed by the West. The Russians only got the lower tier of Nazis. The Americans got the higher tier of Nazis who were brought in and given jobs that placed them in power to make decisions.

    What has this got to do with the latest chemical weapons attack in Syria ,

    You seem to be trying to prevent the discussion with shadows and false flags

    Russia warned us the US forces in the region were training Jihadist militants to stage chemical attacks in Southern Syria. Russia is telling us this was going to happen . Russia can't go bombing these sites as they will be bombing western forces and this will kick off WW3. Russia is receiving intelligence and using surveillance to watch this.

    Try the "invitations" from puppet governments for the "fraternal" help of Soviet troops when their populations grew tired of Communist dictatorship and wanted change.

    Cant think of anything the Russians or Soviets faked? :eek: :eek:

    (other than doping athletes)

    1) Fake democracy. It was essentially one party dictatorship

    2) The famous Red Flag over the Reichstag -faked

    3) The purges -denied it happened, people wiped from history if an enemy of Stalin

    4) Shelling their own village and blaming Finland, using it as an excuse to invasion

    5) Some very good scientists the Russians captured were German, its what spearheaded there successful rocket program at the Gorodomiya Island on a lake northwest of Moscow like Manfred von Ardenne

    6) The Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979

    7) Control and use of secret police to occupy and rape Eastern Europe.

    8) Pretending they didnt have atomic weapons on Cuba

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    No, its a select few of Assad supporter loyalists in central Damascus 'safe zone' Its great for TV, makes Assad look reasonable. Unlike Saydnaya prison, which is basically an extermination camp.
    So whats the alternative, have Damascus looking the same as the rebel held areas.cause thats working out well,
    Its not ideal but the best chance for the country and surrounding region, is for assad to gain back control of the country.

    Those countries were already part of the Soviet Union, so no.

    The Cold War is still raging, in your head anyway.

    Opposition to Russia seems to come from the left, and those opposed to the left.

    Yeah, that popular uprising never happened so, and wasnt crushed by tanks and barrel bombs, nope never happened. As long as Assad is in power, Syria will never know peace.

    I never said there wasn't a rising. The point was, as what with happened in Ukraine, external players were pouring weaponry in to sustain the rising. It wouldn't have stood on it's own without that intervention from external forces.
    Why?

    How would this new state work exactly? What's the roadmap for a peaceful, stable country and can you point to previous successes with comparable context to countries like Syria, Iraq, Libya?
    Stop deflecting, you're terrible at it. Its a completely separate issue.

    That's not deflecting at all. I'm pointing out the reality of establishing a 'new democracy' that relies entirely on external forces to keep it in power due to the fractured nature of the society over which it presides.
    But this is exactly what you are doing.

    That's a bit childish. I'm certainly not 'picking sides', merely discussing the reality of what's happening in Syria, and what might lie in store for it's future and what the 'least bad' option would be for that future.

    My opinion is that Assad is that 'least bad' option - doesn't mean I support or condone the Assad regime overall. You're willfully ignoring that.
    So why leave him in power?

    As opposed to what exactly? Russia is in Syria for Russia. Assad remaining in power is essential to them and furthers their aims in the region, that's why they intervened.

    Doesn't mean he's not just a puppet having his strings pulled by Putin. That's what a puppet state is. Nazi Germany did it to countries like Romania during the Second World War.
    Im dealing with the reality, are you?

    Honestly, you're really not putting forward convincing arguments that are based in reality rather than an ideal world.

    The Vietnam war began when the White House in 1964 claimed 3 Vietnamese patrol boats attacked a US warship. President Johnson used this event to escalate the war in Vietnam. Today we know this event was a false flag it's a verifiable a historical fact.

    A false flag is something placed artificially to give the appearance of something else.

    That Maddox and NV torpedo boats exchanged fire is historical fact. That two days later, the US Navy expended a lot of ammunition shooting at ghosts which were not there is also historical fact. Given the exchange of two days prior, the US Navy being a bit jittery is not malice, but just normal nature. Yes, the second incident was one of the arguments (in addition to the first one) which escalated Vietnam, but it's more to say that poor information led to the argument, not malevolence.

    So nothing to say on the 70 deaths and 500 injured at all ..

    The second incident was claimed as historical fact until 2003. It was a false flag.

    I think that the people responsible, US allies, should be brought before UN criminal courts. That’s unlikely as long as the US provides support for the jihadists.

    By the way what to make of trump claiming Iran was involved. What kind of controlled populace would believe that?

    Think logically. Assad wanted Western forces to attack his power structure in Syria? The Americans keep threatening if Assad uses chemical weapons they may use force. It doesn't add up Assad would use chemicals weapon when America keep saying this could lead to military intervention. Trump decision to leave Syria probably accelerated this false flag event into action.

    Russia need the Spot light off them due to them using chemical nerve agents in the UK despite claiming they had no chemicals weapons , didn't they also say Syria had chemical weapons.

    No an NSA report in 2005 said warning shots were fired on the 2nd of August 1964. On the 4th of August 1964, a false report circulated three Vietnamese boats attacked US destroyer called the Maddox. Historians all agree today this never happened. US writers have tried to make excuses for this event to justify the war in Vietnam.

    Yeah they will run to the UNSC and demand a full and open investigation that they will then block meanwhile the OPCW investigation is due to release it's finding in the Salisbury chemical nerve attack.

    The only reason any side would use chemical weapons is to drag in Western powers to attack Assad. Assad has won the war. Trump decision to pull out of Syria annoyed the military-industrial complex and the deep state elite and they have used their influence to stage this false flag.
