UK should 'enforce Syria no-fly zone even if Russia vetoes UN resolution'
The Guardian ^ | 12 October 2015 | Patrick Wintour

Britain and its western allies should be prepared to enforce a no-fly zone inside Syria to protect refugees even if Russia vetoes a UN resolution, the Labour co-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on Syria has said.

Jo Cox, working in conjunction with the former Conservative international development secretary Andrew Mitchell, is pressing the British government to develop a new comprehensive diplomatic political and military strategy focused on protecting Syrian civilians against attacks both by Isis and Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad.

I really hope our leaders aren’t stupid enough to do this, but I have my doubts.

Sounds like a marketing opportunity. Britain will need to buy some new aircraft to replace the ones they will lose if they are this foolish.

to do what? protect ISIS?

Bad Vlad and Worse Bashar are no different from whatever Al Qaida freak the Free Syrian Army would put in power.

As if they would beat out ISIS.

Nope. Obambi / McCain / Official DC done screwed da pooch.

Left a vacuum that Russia is filling.

For the Bearded Ones, it means “Boom”.

Bit late in the game to try to turn back the clock. Or even stop it.

First, they need to answer three simple questions:

  1. A no-fly zone directed against whom?
  2. On behalf of whom?
  3. Just who are these refugees? The overwhelming majority of those who have come to Europe appear to be military age men. Why?

Yeah! Lets hurry up and get WW 3 going before someone smart comes along and figures out how to diffuse it. What’s a generation without a war?

England doesn’t have the combat power to do this alone. And lets say the UK declares a no fly zone over Syria against the wishes of the Syrian government.
And Russia being there at the request of the legitimate government is on a mission to bomb rebels.

Is the UK really going to try to shootdown Russian planes?

Never happen. Surely nato isn’t so deranged as to go attack Russian planes who are trying to bomb Saudi sponsored allu ahkbar jihadis. At some point, our society needs to rise up hard politically and stop this foolishness.

In Libya we started siding with Black flag Al Qeida. There were many stories then discussing it. Then we started supplying the same bad guys in Syria by way of Benghazi.
When I think back several decades ago, I knew we were the good guys 100%. Now every day I feel more and more like a good German who deep inside knows that we are being lied to, that -we- are the nightmare not the heroes, and that our government has turned down a deeply evil path.
