Lmao @ France. And you want me to take you seriously after citing France, no?

You mean the same France that would surrender after one week? - you're definitely a joker!!

We're talking about countries that can bite in the EU, not the delusional french neo-liberal president.

Go to bed, mate! undecided
i'm so loving this arguemet because as it goes futhur. Your ignorance becomes more glaring.

You are talking of france who has the 5th largest military on earth, the country that has the third largest stockpile of nuclear weapons on earth, the country that bombed libya? The country that rid northern mali of toureg rebels in weeks, the country that ended the ivory coast civil war and arrested gbagbo in weeks? The country that subdued algerian independence...wow! I can go on forever. You want to define the 5th most powerfull country in the world by their surrendering in world war 2 over 60 years ago? How pathetic.

What's happening now is an unmistakable announcement of an end to a unipolar world. There is a message out there that once you're in good book of Russians, you're covered.

Symphony007: the E.U wants no part in syria but [size=20pt]france is america's biggest backer[/size] in military strike, so who is the EU speaking for? Do you watch news at all?

The EU can speak for countries like belgium and romania who don't have a single machine gun but france has pledged it's full backing. Plus the british have pledged intelligence support since parliament voted against military involvement.

Mr. I hiy google and there was nothing like mccain apologising to puttin. Maybe you can put up a link for me.

grin grin grin
The same way they backed America in Iraq and Afghanistan? grin grin


ASUU, please call off this useless strike action.

Blah blah blah.

Perhaps, someone needs to explain the difference between fighting RPGs and AK47s carrying rag-headed militants in Mali and fighting a country where tons of countries and groups have vested interests.

The French will never regain their reputation having surrendered during world war 2, and subsequently getting disgraced out of Egypt during the Suez crisis by Russia. Tell them to shut it!! When the dons are talking - the French need to take the back-seat and listen! undecided

Didn't the Vietcong also chased the French out of Vietnam? - classic french and always running like kangaroos!

All of you have acknowledged that the niqqa is scared buh will pride let him back out. Russia to me is the only notable rival America has and I have always know that either of the two are boosting the Syria crisis in collaboration with maybe China. Even if they recognise they are afraid, pride won't let them back down and if America carries that Strike, this means War or what I will call "A battle Of Supremacy" with Syria being the battlefield. Why is he bringing the issue of civillians when they will be written off as collateral damage. All this is just politics. I will leave with these two quotes....."Those the gods want to kill, he first makes them mad" and "When two elephants fight, the grasses suffer"... Gracias.

You definitely hit your head on a brick as a kid. The more I correct you, the more you come back with retar.ded retorts!

Is France now NATO? And what military assets did the French provide during the Libyan intervention apart from a few dassault rafales, special forces and a few warships for blockade? Even tiny Sweden/Denmark provided almost the same military assets as France during the Libyan intervention and it took NATO more than 6 months to fight little Libya with no air defense and poor military. Heck, Sarkozy was already bored of the war before Gadaffi was killed and he was asking for negotiations.

The Americans provided most of NATO's assets and the UK did more heavy bombing than the french. Heck, the UK did fire more than a dozen tomahawk cruise missiles from its submarines. Even the Germans who didn't participate directly arguably did more than the French because they provided the intelligence that killed gadaffi.

The major blame about this crisis should go to the United states. This is because they were at the forefront of supporting the Syrian opposition when they began the initial uprising and call for President Bashir Al Asad to stepdown from power. The United state Government is in a position to arrest the situation and bring about peace by advising the opposition to embrace peace and dialogue but the United states in their quest to achieve their interest in the region started empowering the Syrian opposition with weapon and other humanitarian facilities. The United states that destroy Iraq, Libya, Afganistan is now escalating the crisis in Syria while pretending that they are spreading democracy round the world. The United Kingdom (Britain) that was supporting the United states on the Syrian issue have step aside refusing to support President Barack Obama airstrike policy towards the Asad regime on its alleged use of chemical and biological weapon on its citizen. This situation has left President Obama without it closest ally Britain. But as a consolation, France another western ally of the United states decided to support President Obama to carry out the airstrike.

France has the only aircraft carrier in western europe. And you are telling me that france combined with the most powerfull nation on earth can't humble the russians?

Ok, I'm bored - let me indulge you. Tell me why any country in the EU or NATO would want to engage the Russians in a conventional war? Just look at the proximity and bear in mind that none of them has the capabilities to counter Russian missiles. Even the American patriot missiles won't save them.

As for France, its military has always looked good on paper but that didn't stop it from surrendering when the nazis came calling; when the Vietcong chased them; and when the Russians told them to get out of Egypt or say aurevoir to Paris. grin

The only battle that can't be won by Russia or America is the battle of convincing ASUU to call of its strike. Reasons is because the academic staff union of universities have the biggest ever created bombers and nuclear facility in their heads. I'm sorry but even the Pope might get close but certainly not win. We're talking world powers against world's largest association of retarrded entities. Oh please!!


ASUU surrender or this war continues. Omo! our war against ASUU hot pass all this one Una dey break head for. No be say them get better things to even teach us, make them just call off strike make we gardue, sorry I mean escape.

Nigeria depends on America economically, they're our biggest customer for oil. They accept thousands of Nigerian immigrants. They support our fight against BH. Why are people here so critical of America?

Methinks we're jealous and bitter that America has wealth, functional government, and a good environment for its people to live.

I just like this putin.

He understands the game more than obama when it comes to international politics.

Some people here claim Putin is scared of the american might. That's arrant bullshit.

Even in ordinary local politics, u don't display all ur cards at a single for time for opponents to see.
It makes u vulnerable.

Putin already has a hidden agenda inside of him.

But he still appeals to obama to take things easy.

So eventually if usa tries to strike syria, Putin will boldly stand against that and will openly come in to assist syria.
Many countries will support him considering the fact that he gave out diplomacy as an option to resolve the crisis which obama rejected.

No country will then critize him for supporting syria.

He is making obama/usa look like the oppressor...but only few people can see this.

Already, most countries at the G-20 are opposed to military intervention.
UN is yet to pass a resolution about the crisis.

But usa is even claiming they will strike syria without UN orders.

Russia is only pleading with usa to make most foreign countries see putin as anti-war.
Russia will actively oppose military intervention against syria. Same with Iran and who knows, china.

Germany also opposed intervention.

Usa need to watch their back.
UK/canada/france and their other lies can't face alliance of Russia/china, iran and eventually if germany joins( if they know that it will wrestle world power away from the usa)

Down to memory lane, Germany already took control of France in the 2nd world war.
It took the intervention of the allies to reclaim it back.

So eventually if another axis should be formed by russia, china,germany, iran...then the west are in form a doom.

Usa need to thread gently at this point in time.
Most countries oppose intervention, even south africa.

It is only their western allies and few middle east countries who are proponents of intervention.

Most people here on NL are not politicians so they really don't understand most of the tactics been employed in politics.

It's all political Card, Vladimir trying so sound polite and speaking for the world against Obama, coming from a Russian, I'd say it's crap. But then again, I don't support President Obama and US military decision to blow up Syria, neither do I support the use of chemical weapon by any party.

My question is: Why threaten the user of this chemical weapon, when most of them (chemicals) are produced and exported from the US? If you don't want them to use it, stop producing it....

you are wrong bro....even the combined forces of china,iran,germany and russia will not hold sway against the USA, you seem to forget that the USA have military bases around the world three times more than all these countries combined,you have also forgotten the tiny but mighty Israel who wil undoubtedly support USA, i tel u bro, Russia is only trying to hold on to its only military base which is Syria,once Syria falls, Russia becomes relatively weak militarily compared to USA, only a fool wil underestimate the superior power of the combined forces of USA and Israel alone, let me also remind you that mid east countries like Saudi Arabia,Qatar,lebanon,Jordan are allies to the USA and they are in full support of military intervention coz ASSAD is not in their good book....note that USA and Israel combined wil wreck massive damage any day any time...dnt mess with them.
