I am sure you live in Nigeria swallowing all the BS you are fed by CNN! Like I said let USA try North Korea if they dare.

You think they are negotiating due to sanctions? Negotiating what? Have they given up anything? They are willing to talk now because they have completed their nuclear deterrence programme, they are negotiating from the the position of great power.

"Position of GREAT power..." Shuuuuu?

KratosCorp:
I don't think that there is anyone denying that chemical weapon was dropped from an helicopter in the affected area. What Russian govt and Asaad do is deny responsibility.

But in this current case, besides other covert intelligence operations, the West, based on public records, made it clear that no other entity but (Russia cum Iran backed) Asaad regime uses helicopters in that area.

Plus, this particular operation was purely targeted at Syria's research facilities, not Iran's and certainly not Russia's. So this is merely another warning signal, and there had been zero report of civilian or military casualties to it.

So, please, tune down that your anti-US narrative. And be guided. If the US goes down, this world will collapse into total anarchy, and the concept of individual liberty will be a thing of the past.

My good friend no one wants the united states to go down get me right. Of course that would mean the other major Powers would be left unchecked and that would be very bad for the world. But Then the united states has started developing Monopolistic and imperialistic tendencies and they have shown that over recent years by destabilizing countries who don't align with them, and so they themselves cannot be left unchecked too or else we will have something similar to an authoritarian regime Ruling the World and that would spell doom for the world and for third world countries like ours in Particular. So yes i believe these checks and balances Keep the stability of the world in place and is good for both the United states and for the world at large.

And one more thing.. Please stop watching BBC, CNN and other mainstream news media. Independent Alternative news media would give you a much more unbiased perspective on sensitive issues like this. They are the future of Real News and the only hope we have against these Biased western propaganda Machines. Thank you.

You are completely ignorant I swear.
The same Osama bin laden that was used by America in the 80s to haunt the Socialist government of Afghanistan?
Some of you just jump into history at midlevel.
Osama became an enemy when he targeted America.
when he was wrecking havoc in Afghanistan on behalf of America, he was a freedom fighter.

The same with the Benghazi purported moderates that eventually killed the American ambassador.

You are still typing inconsequential things , perhaps after a quick search on the internet without properly understanding the content of what you read

Over the years, numerous American agencies have worked with various groups in the middle east to achieve a certain aim not because of anything, but mutual interest.

Osama bin laden was part of a Taliban group that work to drive out soviet union out of Afghanistan in the 80s. As that time, America was waging an ideological warfare with soviet interest in the world.

Taliban had other interest, which includes imposing strong Islamic principles in the middle east and encourage war against the Zionist(Israel )

Bin laden later used his training with America to his advantage to attack American's interest in the middle east and around the world, which is very similar to what happened " to the so called Islamic state" today.


Benghazi is a very different case. Gaddafi had no friends in Libya as at the time he was defeated and killed. Majority of the militia that mobilized against him were hard liners, who showed their true colors after Gaddafi was defeated. I don't know what gave you the impression that Benghazi is different from tripoli in any way .

please do some research and don't just listen to CNN, I know what I am saying.

Former president Jonathan, Madame Ngozi our former finance minister and other Nigerian government officials confirmed this before and after they left office.

Many oil producing nations also confirmed this

Please can you educate me on how you did your research to come up with that your information.

Only gullible people believe all they see on mainstream media,we know these are western propaganda to remove legitimate govt and input puppet that they can control e.g Nelson Mandela of blessed memory a typical example in Africa!!

You are still not getting it
Everything I said in short sentence you just elaborated on.

America should stop demonizing countries and leaders who oppose its ambition on their countries.

The same America supports Saudi which is the most barbaric Regime in the world, where women has next to nothing right.

And the Libyan militias who supplied them with weapons?
Who provided air support?
You destroy countries all because of your selfish interest...
Aren't you tired? Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya.

Enough of the hypocrisy bro.
Now Libya has been destroyed what is your gain?

You armed rebels who eventually always turn out to be jihadists that beheads people at will.

When will you people stop this shit

Gaddafi had the option of leaving quietly when his country men turned against him, The deposed south African president Jacob Zuma sent an envoy to negotiate a release clause for him during his last moment alive, but he preferred to die in the country instead.


Americans provided air support to the militia because Gaddafi also sort to use the air advantage to win a war that he was seriously outnumbered by the enemy

For the record. an imposition of a "no fly zone" is not air support. it simply meant America and its allies made sure both sides had equal opportunities and it also prevented a possible genocide Gaddafi was embarking upon back then.

Tell me something, should Buhari fail to win in 2019 and turns against the Nigerian population, would you prefer the American president to look the other way?

Maybe you should tell me why America is not giving support to Houthi rebels?
Because it is not in their interest and that of their allies.

What about Bahrain.
Stop the hypocrisy.
Stop destroying countries.

You have complicated yourself again

Actually the houthis are the ones fighting for an independent democratic state, the houtis are a part of a current proxy war going on the middle east at the moment. The main battle is between Iran's predominantly shia militia and Saudi Arabia's predominantly suni militia.

USA DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO RUSSIA WORLD CUP.

Syria managed to kill 70 percent of the Yanky “Hawks” with soviet-era anti-missiles?! That is better than any of the “protective layer shield” of Israel.
Yeah. I think everyone got the “tough message” Trump sent…

MyExpression:


You can contribute embalming oil.

Lolllllll

The 30 percent success hits will cost less to rebuid than the cost of the attack.
Now everyone knows Soviet era Buks can shoot down Tomahawks.
Assad is untouched and went to work this morning like nothing special occured.
Iran, Russia, Syria, Iraq and Hezballah will foment their alliance.
Syrian people from all corners will love more Assad and hate more Israel and US.
There is still the international fallout of all of this…

greatagain17:
only a third of the missiles fired at Syrian targets were intercepted... Not 71 out of 103. The tomahawk cruise missiles is not that easy to intercept.

your Mumu too much. only 28 hit there targets. 103 fired. 71 intercepted. others diverted. which caused the death of 3 civilians. no military damage. also all 13 missiles fired at Aldumayr airbase were intercepted fully. the 28 missiles that hit their targets caused only minor material damage At the Scientific research center which is easier to repair compared to the cost of firing all those missiles. and for your Info Assad went to Office this morning like nothing happened.

World War 111 Don start on a low key

If you believe that Assad used Chemical weapon on his people despite defeating rebels from their various strongholds, I think something is wrong with that person's brain. In 2013, the same issue occurred that was the year, Syria handed over her chemical weapon to the UN. When investigation was carried out the rebels used the chemical weapon which they got from a factory in Turkey. Assad using chemical weapon is a propaganda from the west. Why is it that anytime chemical weapon is used in Syria, US and her warmonger allies(NATO, Israel and Saudi) are ready to strike Syria? It shows that, this heinous crime was well orchestrated by the warmongers.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10039672/UN-accuses-Syrian-rebels-of-chemical-weapons-use.html

On America, Ghadaffi may be dead but some of his words will never die, 100yrs from now. Sometimes in 2011, he said he wasn't fighting any freedom fighter but armed terrorists funded my US because he refused American cabals from lifting oil and because of the stability of oil at world market. A barrel at that moment was well over $100pb but America insisted on installing democratic government, their interest was not ordinarily, Ghadaffi was not the only dictator, Mugabe was. NATO and French force rained missile bomb into the country until he was captured and killed. Then the secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was seen laughing with President Obama inside the situation room while she made the famous statement "we went, we conquered, he died". The aftermath of Ghadaffi's murder is ISIS, slave trade and the infamous Fulani herdsmen killing our people here in Nigeria, if one have to go by Buhari's words


Scenario 2. President Assad of Syria has been saying it before the official birth of Isis, he keep telling the western media that they should stop calling the opposition "rebel" instead they should call them terrorist because thats who they are.

Let's assume President Assad was responsible for the chemical attack on his people, was the missile locked in his location? Won't their be innocent people, children that will be victim?

America is evil, see how trump successfully caused massive chaos between Israel and Palestine? Innocent people are dying as I'm typing this. Look at how they killed MKO, assuming we get 1992 right, that could have been a turning point in the history of this country.

Not in the mood for an argument, I barely slept last night. I rather talk about cartoons right now

Dannyset:
US has been praying for any small opportunity that could result to war. Gradually it's playing out just the way they want it

the way they want it, NOT!

My initial conclusion last night, based on social media, was (mostly) correct
The only mistake is I thought S-400 missiles were used. Instead, S-200 and less expensive missiles were used. There is a false claim that only 12 cruise missiles were hit. In fact, 12 cruise missiles were shot down defending ONE base, which equaled 100 percent of what was fired at it. Sub sonic cruise missiles are obviously useless against Russia's missiles.

I am going to stick with my assessment that something big was going to happen that caused the U.S. to stop the attack. All the cruise missiles could report their status to the launch site, and the U.S. was sitting there watching them vanish before they reached their targets. "reporting back" was early 90's tech, that the cruise missiles had even then. So it would have been ominous to watch them vanish, And then suddenly, Russian planes were in the air, preparing to attack. That did happen, regardless of whatever any claims are. And within 20 minutes (before they reached their targets) it was suddenly announced that the attack which was supposed to last for days was suddenly over, after only about an hour. Something big happened, and no one is saying what. My guess is that Russia made the right threat. Here is the next day report from RT:

"The majority of rockets fired in Syria by the UK, US, and France were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems, the Russian Defense Ministry said. Russian air defense units were not involved in repelling the attack. The warplanes and vessels of the US and its allies launched over 100 cruise missiles and air-surface missiles on Syrian civil and military facilities, the ministry stated.

The strikes were conducted by two US ships stationed in the Red Sea, with tactical air support from the Mediterranean and Rockwell B-1 Lancer bombers from Al-Tanf coalition airbase in Syria's Homs province, according to the statement.

Syrian Al-Dumayr Military Airport, located 40 km north-east from Damascus, was attacked by 12 cruise missiles, the Russian MoD confirmed, adding that all missiles were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems.

To repel the attack, Damascus deployed Soviet-made surface-to-air missile systems, including S-125 (NATO reporting name: SA-3 Goa), S-200 (SA-5 Gammon), 2K12 Kub (SA-6 Gainful) and Buk.

Russia did not deploy its air defense systems located in Syria to intercept the American, British, and French missiles.

Earlier, the ministry issued a statement saying that none of the missiles launched by the US and its allies reached the Russian air defense zones that shield facilities in the port city of Tartus and Khmeimim Air Base.

MY SALIENT COMMENT THAT I HAVE MADE BEFORE: Gee, if all those trillions did not go missing from the Pentagon on 911, trillions of dollars, which were hit by that "plane" that impacted right where the records were kept maybe old Russian tech would not have had such a high kill rate against American missiles, which would have been a LOT BETTER if those trillions stayed in the budget!

The U.S. military can talk all it wants about blowing destroyed or totally weak nations away, and talk all about how great it is and how invincible it is, but if Russian tech even hit half the incoming missiles the U.S. military had better start thinking twice, and all the war hawks had better figure out where all that money went!

Syria hit 70 plus percent of America's "nice, new, "smart" missiles with 15+ years outdated Russian crap! Syria did not even use anything "good, " and it was Syria, not Russia, that repelled the attack. That dear folks equals DOOM. You can't win if a relatively small economy nation who bought old Russian toys was able to repel you with no help from Russia, and partied the next day!

The bottom line is that unlike the gulf war, where America had real superiority, this time around America went against technology that happened to be "enough". All it takes is "enough", it really does not matter if your missiles have 128 bit tech when 16 bit is "enough". The game has changed.

It appears Russia was going to attack, and the U.S. was threatened into stopping the attack
This is probably the case. When this started, it was "going to be sustained, lasting days". Then a large number of Russian planes took off, and suddenly America stopped attacking after only about an hour. Here's what that adds up to:

A threat was made that a 7000 MPH hypersonic missile was going to go into the center of the U.S. fleet with a megaton warhead. This is pure speculation, but think about it -
How do you go from "we are going to attack in waves, for days" to "an hour into the battle let's call it quits"? And it is now confirmed that the Russian missile systems knocked out virtually ALL American cruise missiles, resulting in a totally failed missile attack. A few planes dropped bombs and then went home, with nothing returning. I think America quit because:

1. Russian defenses worked perfect, and America was watching it's missiles go POOF on computer screens before they reached their targets, and

2. Russian war planes took off after the air defenses were very well proven, with confirmed destruction of practically all cruise missiles. That alone would not stop an American attack, but if any planes were carrying nukes it sure would, if it was proven Russian air defenses would escort those planes to their targets unscathed.

The big proof: the "days long attack" lasted about an hour. SOMETHING HAPPENED.

yanjutomi:

what do u knw about war I guess u are a baby... av been watching all international news simultaneously they shot chemical factory of Al Assad in Damascus and Holms "Trump said he didn't go to war with Russia and Iran but against Syrian dat he carried out calculated and coordinated strike with B1 Cruz missle"

What do you I know about war? Hehehe.

And America didn't launch a single missile at Tartus area or Hmmein Airbase region because they know the repercussion.
Done with you brainwashed dudes.

Where and when did Trump ever say he was targeting Russian personnel for chrissake

Oversabi undergrad!

I leff at people here praising Russians and Syria that they intercepted only 13 of over 103missiles.....this just proves that Russian air defense system is weak and not as strong as Russians made us to believe

Thank you my dear.

Stop this hallucinative theory.

The message was sent to Asaad and his backers - clear and direct. Mission accomplished. No stories.

If anything else, Trump wants out of Syria. The vast majority of Americans - INCLUSIVE OF MOST OF TRUMP'S BASE - do not want the Syria conflict. Even Germany could not join the coalition - even though they endorsed the operation. This shows that this is just a warning signal.

And please, get off that your Russia-worship narrative. Russia's best effort is America's starting point.

North Korea is no match for America. The hunger in NK alone is devastating enough, talk more of a full blown out war with The U.S.

NK had to listen to China and back down- sanctions has finished them.

You shouod understand that a war on North Korea is a war on china too. Not because of they are alies ooo. But cos NK boarders China. There is no way you will attack any country that boarders china without china being involvedd

obonujoker:


That guy is a muslim, so he is anti US

am not a Muslim but am anti US and Israel. Get that into your fucking head

MrMystrO:


Get me right, i don't dispute that a chemical attack happened, Not at all. What critical minds are saying is HOW ARE WE SURE that the attack was perpetrated by Asaad and the Syrian government against HIS OWN PEOPLE whom he's trying to bring together especially now that he's winning the war? Are we just supposed to believe that Asaad did it JUST BECAUSE the US said they did it, without providing any PROOF whatsoever? Common think too for once! Nobody wants these inhumane acts to happen but You can't believe something without PROOF just because someone said so.. its not Done!

True though, but asahd has no integrity and he is the devil himself, and has commited war crimes and crimes against humanity, he escalated the protest back then in 2011, by shooting at his own people who were protesting, syrian government has killed hundred of thousands of civilians in the name of fighting rebels, the man who destroyed his own country due to his selfish desire to cling to power.

Also he bases where the chemical are being launched is where usa and its allies are targeting

whatever happens in syria, asahd is going down.

syria has now become a power play, USA, RUSSIA, TURKEY, ISRAEL,IRAN, UK,FRANCE, all have roots

and the reason y Usa has not taken action on asahd is not because of Russia support of asahd, but because he is toppled now, there will be chaos, cos the rebel factions are too many, and the rebels too are not saints either.

but now that the usa wants to take action, and with russia, being the stubborn bull, supporting a Criminal, it will be interesting to see how this play out
