What you said. If Rubio, Hillary or Kasich won the election, we’d probably all be dead.
It's FAR worse than that. While we didn't quite start Syria's civil war, we joined the war and dumped billions of dollars, weapons and training into it in an attempt to overthrow Assad. We significantly contributed to the humanitarian disaster, hundreds of thousands of deaths, 11 million displaced refugees, the refugee crisis in Europe and Turkey, and hundreds of millions of people effected.
Look up Operation Timber Sycamore to see how David Petraeus and Barack Obama got us into a war for Saudi Arabia and Qatar to overthrow Assad and build Europe a new gas pipeline through Syria...
You like the drunk in the bar. You have no clue what your talking about at all but belligerently spewing your ignorance louder rather then learn from your errors You have zero understanding of the geopolitics in the Pacific. Don’t kid yourself that you do.
That is very sobering and interesting. Thanks.
This is what happens when your too stupid to survive planet Earth.
Still waiting for you to locate “The Philippians” on a map...
Good find.
Where is the German army?
Thought to survive and a condemned people grab at life lines and life rafts... to eat is to fight to live another day. Until you walk in in their boots....
Or cold war mentality. Russia as a threat is over. It would take them 100+ years to rebuild what they had if they had the will to try to do it.
Sort of amazing to see you write these things now MNJohnnie.
We have all come a long way, I suppose.
It is important to carry a long stick, so that you don’t have to use it very often - if at all.
It is, however, Not so important to carry a long stick that you had to take loans out to pay for - in order to fight for national interests other than your own...
And in the end - leaving your children as eternal debt slaves on the continent their forefathers fought for.
That.... Is instead rather diabolical...
In Syria it would have.
That is probably one of the things that set off Trump...
Any, Kurdish independence could only be kept up by a permanent American military presence, essentially prolonging the civil war to infinity.
And, from my analysis. The entire civil war in the first place would not even have taken place without American organization and support...
People like Obama and Clinton have a LOT to answer for...
I pray that they will.
The world needs and is crying out for some justice.
At the same time, you have the usual suspects here doing their agitprop in the keyword lines. Tell you most things you need to know about those sort of people.
That is of course all correct, and most analysts are well aware. Even thought that story goes a bit deeper as well, but
I will leave it there for now.
Hva you considered..... That this might have been one of the driving forces for the entire conflict in the first place?
In July 2011 Iran, Iraq and Syria said they planned to sign a contract potentially worth around $6bn to construct a pipeline running from South Pars towards Europe, via these countries and Lebanon and then under the Mediterranean to a European country, with a refinery and related infrastructure in Damascus.[1][6][7][8] In November 2012 the United States dismissed reports that construction had begun on the pipeline, saying that this had been claimed repeatedly and that “it never seems to materialize.”[9] A framework agreement was to be signed in early 2013, with costs now estimated at $10bn;[10] construction plans were delayed by the Syrian Civil War.

What were those lessons, and what have they forgotten?
“China goes to war with us, most of that debt disappears.”
Which really should scare people, but also relax them at the same time.
It would really be against Chinese interest to kill the cow they are milking.
The Chinese has seen and learnt that milking cows can be a very profitable business indeed.
Why would they kill the goose that lays their golden eggs - with which they can slowly take over the whole operation without a single shot fired. By using the tax dollars paid for by working Americans. It is almost a plan too perfect for words...
The Chinese comes from the nation of Sun Zu. It is a different culture, more patient, more ancient... and they are not stupid.
But, there might be war - but I would say others would be more likely instigating it.
Exactly. Are you an economist too?
I studied China, Chinese culture and business practices back as an economist way back when...
Australia? Why should they attack Australia?
It is already falling into their hands like a ripe fruit...
When you employ slightly longer timescales than the 4 year election cycle...
Oh, I see you were already here before me.
I am glad to see that a lot of us has learnt through these years.
Though, I would argue that we pretty much DID start the meaningful part of it.
Without foreign involvement it most likely would have been a small revolt - perhaps a few hundred killed - before the rebellion was quelled.
Though... “starting the civil war...” I guess it is a question of semantics.
We seem to be on the same page.
Cheers.
My opinion — McCain and Obama aided and abetted the Syrian civil war and almost made the USA side with the jihadis.
Thanks to Trump that was stopped.
Pretending that you can work with Islam is foolish and foolhardy.
Islam is a cult of death that must be exterminated.
