Russia Responds To Syria Air Strikes: “We Are Being Threatened”

So, one has to wonder, how does hitting chemical weapons manufacturing sites in Syria, threaten Russia? Is Russia now the new owners of Syria? The French said they have proof of a chemical weapon attack on civilians, which is illegal under all the treaties concerning them, and such weapons are banned, so the Russians say this is all a fabrication (which could be given the sorry state of our government) or a BS lie by Russia and Syria (then they do have banned weapons and lose all protections) (But Russia and Syria seem to not any more credibility than the US government). So, in a world of liars, who is the best liar of them all? And to go to war over it? This all makes no remote sense, so it is obviously time for the aliens to step in and beam every politician off the planet so we can find some rational people...

    There is almost always some meddling, nosey rule following stool pigeon that can't stand to see anyone live free. Invisibility is very difficult.

    Hence the idea of hiding in plain sight has more appeal than open defiance of authority. If they aren’t aware you are ignoring their rules, they can’t very well attack you

    I think he was right. The establishment wants to continue its reign. Now we call it the swamp, but its the same concept.

    I did have a dream that we could be allies with Russia in the fight against radical maniacs. Too good to be true. We're all radical maniacs...haha.

    Well put. Rules for what are atrocities, in the execution of the atrocity of war, seem more bureaucratic than ethical. Modern "war" seems to involve more and more innocent victims and unintended casualties - so pretty much all war includes horrific atrocities of innocents/non-combatants.

    The booty is less obvious. Bankers and the "defense" industry get the monetary booty, and the feds get the power booty.
    We are in agreement, I think.

    they didnt get any justice. We have a constitution in name only these days. The government does what it wants and steals money from us to do it.

    Agreed, which is why I'm not on the Churchill-esque bandwagon yet. Russia is still far too vulnerable with regards to oil to risk a conventional war.

    It does put lie to the whole world "we care" idea. Care is only measured in what gain there is for a specific nation. ISIS proved that, as well as the numerous dictators who endanger their own people and treat them as thralls, such as Venezuela.

    Possibly a reason for it, but there was one last year as well, so was this just to keep the threat valid?

    The Russian proxy nations can be being used to spark trouble, one needs to wonder what the end game is. Russia is economically tied to a lot of countries, and one argument for global trade is war will hurt a lot more players than it used to

    It seems there may be a lot of manipulation going on and so many people in the game, the manipulators don't know when they are being juked.

    The story of the American travesty in the Phillipines in the 20's is something you never hear about in history, or even from the Liberals (probably because it wasn't in their history). I only read about it in the book "Flyboys", it gave context for some of the treatment of Americans in WW2 by the Japanese as their media had detailed the strocities committed by the Marines in detail for years, creating a bitter hatred of the "white devils".

    100 were murdered by the feds at Waco. Why were they killed? Cui Bono? What justice did those innocent people receive?

    leftists are so into emotion that it completely clouds their responsible actions. He probably didnt want to make Putin feel bad. I guarantee Putin looked at him as ridiculous and had a good laugh. He got Crimea, probably a good chunk of the rest of Ukraine, and for all practical purposes, Syria.

    Agreed. Plus, there is no booty to be gotten by a war with Syria, so there is even less reason to go there. So 40 people died in a chemical attack? More people than that by a LOT die everyday on our highways, but there is no hue and cry over them.

    Putin wants to restore Russia to its pre-crash status by taking over countries to shore up his economy (as they did before). Socialism always needs new wealth to stay alive.

    He protects his warm water port access through syria, and just threatens anyone who tries to take that control away. Damn Obama let him get into Syria through being a pansy, and now syria is pretty much a russian satellite and we might as well let Russia do what it wants with syria and draw the line in the sand there instead of trying to backtrack on Obama's mistakes.

    Agreed that Syria poses no danger to us, but this was a strategic strike, more aimed at North Korea. NK does pose a threat to us, and this was aimed at the NK administration that the US won't tolerate illegal behaviors. There will be consequences.

    A war with nuclear weapons will send us all to a Mad Max existence. Not even Bowlcut Boy wants that. Would Putin really give up his Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous to live in Moscow with no heat and no food? Scarier, though, are places that wouldn’t care about such things in a search for martyrdom and a “Jones” for virgins.

    Personally, I don't think this is a fight we have a dog in and our interjection into it has only complicated the matter.

    Unless...

    You view this as Churchill did with Hitler's early incursions into Austria, Czeckoslovakia, and other nations - only with Putin being the incursive instigator and the Ukraine as his first (of many) nations to conquer.
