Missile World Cup

[Publius Ovidius]

This is a Cold War era proxy war waiting to happen. Terrifying in one sense and I'm generally not an interventionist, but the gassing of children passes the mark, IMO.

But we don't know did that ...let's face it sunnies Nd Shiites are not adverse about blowing each other up in markets and mosques are they? It is reported that the rebels/ freedom fighters are losing ground, so how best to get world opinion back on their side....I am not suggesting that happened, but even the un haven't the faintest idea who did this.

Russia won't get involved as long as their strategic port in Syria is safe. They will saber rattle a little but will not support Assad to the point of hurling missiles at the west.

China don't give three hoots about Syria their strategic goal is to increase financial dominance across the globe. So as long as they can trade then they are happy.

We will get involved because by a hairs width and nothing more it is the right thing to do. We can't have people chucking chemical weapons around and not get put back in the box or the bark that prevents this happening more has no bite behind it.

It will be some subsurface cruise missiles against air defence systems and command and control and possibly an attempt to secure the chem stocks. Anything more is a buggers muddle.

Good post. However, I think this smells of something very worrying to me. Whether anyone can prove if the chemical weapons were from Assad's regime or not, ourselves and the Yanks are going to get missile happy anyway

Will there be a strong French midfield (if there is such a thing), or will they just come on once it's all over carrying the bucket and sponge?

In answer to Ernest's post, it's because we are deluded and still think us as some world power.

As for haig saying we can take action without un agreement......yes that is a really sensible idea William...let's piss the Russians/ Chinese/ and everyone else off....you buffoon! He Makes me ashamed to be a Yorkshireman.

Surely it does not take anything to do that? Yorkshire is full of ********s - he is just one of many.

US Secartary if State John Kerry Speaking now. America mean business.

Looks odds on for a US kick-off based upon John Kerry's speach.

Not good, and not our problem if they all wipe each other out.

All a western strike will do is increase the impression that we are all imperialists. The middle-east need to police their own problems.

He is a basically a southerner. From Sheffield, which some of us from the west riding regard as Derbyshire anyway.

Bloody hell! Civil war is spreading from Syria to Yorkshire already. We Loiners will leave you lads from Huddersfield to do the fighting.

Granny,

You leave us southerners alone you wax-weathered fopster.

As long as a missile takes out Barnsley it will have served some purpose.....

 

[Ali_rrr]

Is this going to be a Level A, B or C Game for costing purposes?

How long will it take for someone to moan about FFP?

Is a fair and balanced argument

I've never took Hague seriously since he got caught with a young male 'friend' sharing a bed to save money

Jealousy is a cruel mistress, Enrest.

Its a bad state of affairs, the West has been picking and choosing which conflicts to join for years. We did next to nothing in Lebanon, Egypt ,Tunisia and Bahrain. Standing off in the Med and firing a few cruise missiles off to slap Assad on the wrist is just going to upset the Russians and Iranians and do nothing to help the people being slaughtered. The Yanks have said that the Assad regime should not use chemical weapons " or else " now Assad has done it and said " Or What ? " America has to stand up and do something but can't actually do anything to help. a pretty pickle for Mr. Obama

 

[daveinprague]

Really dont understand why we in the west feel we have the 'right' to interfere in other countries civil wars...I would guess we would be pretty unhappy about it if somebody intervened in, god forbid, a civil warin the UK. of course there will be horror stories from a civil war...of course women and children will be killed, but thats the nature of a civil war, and always has been..... effectivily taking sides, particularly with a side that appears to contain a large proportion of Islamic fundamentalists cant end well.

 

[StonehamPark]

But how many will they bring?

 

[KingstonSeagull]

I think to show them a lesson that you can't use chemical warfare, we should nuke demascus...
