Attacks in Douma

raduv1

An endless cycle of history repeating itself then ?

It's quite depressing when the only response
                                                                               

But should history of a population, religion or region have an overriding effect of that countries humanitarian needs in the present ? The countries population at the very least should get the basic freedom of choice .

Agreed - that is what I'm saying.  If it weren't for the innocents caught in the middle then I believe we should just keep out and leave them to it.

But if this ends with Assad being kicked out and we have some dubious election which puts a rebel supporter in power, then for a short while we will be applauding that democracy has been restored but after a while we will see that oppression is still alive and well it is just be applied to a different group of people.

And then Assad's ex-supporters will become rebels, they will be seen as the good guys and as always it will be the innocents caught in the middle who suffer.

And May kowtowing for 'the' trade deal, America remembers it's friends, blah blah blah. Succinctly defines the motives by both parties!

The plot thickens....

UK accuses Russia and Syria of blocking chemical inspectors from visiting Douma

Oh dear....

"Diane Abbott, the shadow home secretary and one of Jeremy Corbyn's most senior allies, has illustrated a tweet about Syria with a computer generated fake image of an Israeli jet bombing the capital of Iran."

Diane Abbott uses faked photo of Israeli fighter jet bombing Tehran to illustrate tweet about Syria

And a good distraction from the reasonable issue of parliamentary democracy

Pig sh*t is no longer the benchmark.....

Oh dear, so how are these liberalists meant to get their ‘factual evidence’ now?

No doubt Russia will claim the U.K. has done this also.

Assad and Russia REALLY want to look as guilty as possible don’t they?

As for Abbot, we’ll when she gets a memory and recalls the fact she was in office at the time Blair launched an all out attack against Saddam WITHOUT UN backing and approval, she’ll restore some credibility, we’ll maybe.... hmm actually no she is beyond restoring any credibility these days..

Diane Abbott is the definition of Clown Shoes.

The whole concept of her and Corbyn leading the country is a piss poor BBC Sit-com waiting to happen (TM rustybin, just in case).
