“If the great powers of the world really wanted to, they could wipe out ISIS and Assad and stop almost every atrocity. It would require a resolve it hasn’t shown and serious, unfettered military action.”

Pure bullsh*t
You going to fight?
Who do you think would?

The world could have had real peace, if, after WWII, the US had been liberal with nukes for nations that stepped out of line. We could have announced that any country that tested a nuclear device would have been nuked by the US. That means Russia, or China. Heck, it should have meant the UK too. Only one country in the world should have nukes and the primary responsibility of that country should have been to make sure that no one else ever got nukes.

Secondarily, we could have nuked a country that invaded across an international border (Saddam in Kuwait). No boots on the ground. Not for the US. Never. But we could have nuked the people who needed nuking.

The continental US would have been untouchable. Our defense budget could have been very small. And the world could have had peace.

-—what happens in Syria to Syrians doesn’t affect the rest of the world in any tangible way.——

Tell that to the raped women of Europe. Syrian men came to Europe and are like kids in a candy store...... just look at all the women!

The solution has long been known but Obama prevented the accomplishment.

Refugee camps in liberated Syria are the answer agreed on by the coalition. They will be accomplished

Refugees come in two types:

1) People who do not want to be refugees. They want their country to be a good place to live. Camps in Syria are a fine idea.

2) People who want to invade the West and impose Sharia Law. These people are not true refugees. They should be dealt with harshly. No room for them outside Syria. Maybe no room for them in Syria either.

How about locating refugee camps in Saudi Arabia. They have lots of available land. And that would be fair as the Saudis, along with their Qatari buddies, have financed ISIS & the various Islamist militias in Syria.

Let us start with this. The attack, if it happened, was NOT Sarin. You don’t rush in in hours to “rescue” victims from Sarin. Ask anyone ex military. Any Vet who took NBC or Combat Chemical Casualty Course (this should be nearly EVERYBODY in the military) can tell you.

Doesn’t mean there was NO attack. But when it is so easy to tell “fake news” why do they persist in claiming this.

What is happening in South Sudan makes Syria look like a church social. Where is the outrage about that? Guess no videos of 10 year old girls being gang raped have made it out to the world.

The pipeline will not be denied.

Um... Europe is not in Syria. What happens between Syrians in Syria does *not* affect the rest of the world. The problem arose when the rest of the world opened the doors to Syrian refugees.

The second part are not really refugees imho, and those should not be allowed to come here under any circumstances

Given the state of the art in those days (40s-50s) ... had anyone followed your plan the world would be awash in highly radioactive fallout, with the few surviving enclaves of humans struggling to find something to eat beneath vast dark clouds and subfreezing temperatures as the hundred year nuclear winter slowly encroached.

As usual, American blood is always spilled. Our children lose their parents to war, but we are told here that we are guilty of not caring. Europe has spread their cheeks for Islam and what they got for it is certain extermination.

Obama disguised American deaths by calling them UN troops. All of us know who the UN blood shedders are. Americans.

People all over the world are being terrorized and murdered by Islam, So we have to say “pardon us for not getting all wee wee’d up when muzzies kill muzzies”. Killing is what they do until everyone prostrates themselves for Islam. After that they tyrannize and murder those who step out of line.

I would guess many of those poor gassed babies were Christian. And lets get real, why waste your gas on women and kids instead of wiping out enemy fighters? Could it be that the other side uses those unfortunates as shields?

I disagree.

We nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They are fine now.
If, in 1949 we had nuked Moscow and in 1951 threatened to nuke London (London!!) I think the entire world would have stepped away from nuclear testing.

I see a maximum of three angry nuclear attacks. In the real world we had two.
