    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.

    Iraq WMD was another false flag fake evidence was masqueraded as the truth.

    We know the joint chiefs of staff during Kennedy presidency tried to get the president to sign off on doing terrorist attacks inside the United States and blame it on the Cubans. They were not against killing Americans to start a war.

    Operation Northwood plan does not look all that different to 9/11. It involved hijacking planes and using them as drones. If they had drone type technology in the 60's they had in 2001.

    What happened in Salisbury and what happening in Syria clear as day are false flag events.For some reason, these shadowy people are looking for a war with Russia

Is this what the Americans and the rebels are fighting against?

    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.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    Thats Damascus city, controlled by the Syrian regime....relatively normal area with little conflict.

    The area in the news today is a cluster of neighbourhoods known as Eastern Ghouta. Its about 15km north east of Damascus city and has been harbouring various rebel groups for a number of years.

    U.N Mandated mission to create an alternative state

    That's a completely unrealistic suggestion in the context of the reality in Syria.
    Assad was beat until Russia got involved. They caused the massive mess.

    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.

    What would the alternative have been? A failed state with armed warlords in every corner vying for power?
    Iraq was George Bushes and Dick Cheneys massive mess, looking for oil in the guise of weapons of mass destruction. This is completely different.

    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.

    At it's first minor hurdle it collapsed completely, unable to stand on its own legs at all, and only US intervention saved it from becoming a total farce.
    To be realistic Assad cannot stay, he is too hated by many people living there. He is a spent force, a stain.

    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?
    Why because RT said so? Yes there was, and once Russian TV crews go, many people vanish into Assads torture prisons.

    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.

    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.

    Never ceases to amaze me how some people on boards seem to want to 'pick a side' like it's a competition.
    Hmm, yes, seems exactly what id to if my Allie or merch force might do something silly. Declare my enemy is planning to do it, so when it happens, blame them.

    Do you honestly believe that Russia isn't pulling the strings of Assad and the SAA?

    The narrative being pushed is crazy - alleged chemical attacks, and within hours, before anything whatsoever can be discerned, the US is on the warpath claiming 'all options are on the table' and 'there'll be a big price to pay for Iran, Russia and Syria'.

    Maybe it was the SAA. Maybe airstrikes hit an existing supply in rebel held territory. Maybe the rebels themselves did it. Who knows? But clearly the US is delighted at the chance to rattle the sabre around.
    There is always another choice.

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

    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.

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

    Never said they werent. You've missed the point again. Isis are one of the most barbaric forces humanity has seen since ww2

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Saudi Arabia just purchased 600 billion of new toys for their military. It all about money and power. If Trump pulls out his handing back the Syrian oil. US forces are stationed in an area rich in oil reserves.

    Commonsense logical why would Assad want his army bombed and lose men he needs badly to finish this war.

    You not watching you have to see the other side. When Trump declared he was going to pull out of Syria. The US media went ballistic and said Trump is handing Syria back to Iran and Russia. Trump is just a puppet. For decades the corporations, military industrial complex and the deep state ( the rich guys elected by nobody) run things. They have enormous influence behind the scenes to stage-manage world events to their liking.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chrongen


    As opposed to what - leave the country to it's own devices and end up with Libya 2.0 or worse?

    An Assad victory is the quickest way to stability and peace if we are being entirely realistic.

    Not a fan of Russia in general but anyone who thinks a Russian withdrawal is the answer to Syria's problems is deluded.

    At the very, very least people should be questioning the narrative of what's happening and being reported in Syria.

    It is not a simple case of the 'good guys' fighting the big bad butcher (and never was but that's how it's being pushed in some media).

    The Syrian people worship the Russian servicemen who have been defending them from the ISIS head choppers and organ eaters. You won't read that in WaPo however.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chrongen


    Can anyone give a coherent reason why Assad always seems to use chemical weapons when the area is just about to fall to his control.

    Seriously what would he possibly have to gain from using chemical weapons when the war is all but won??

    Don't expect a logical answer that elucidates a plausible reason, just some crap that "he's a madman and a sicko who gets a kick out of gassing toddlers"
