What is this one saying? they've Now confirmed a total of 71 out of 103 Missiles were intercepted, and the Rest mostly hit evacuated destinations without any serious casualties so i wonder where you're getting that Garbage propaganda from. Get your facts right, Stop Watching CNN and stop being Brainwashed!!
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.

After going through most of the comments on this topic, some are hilarious, ignorantly quipped and majority beclouded by sentiments. I found yours to be the most silly of all.

You appear to yourself, thinking you are well educated on matters beyond your comprehension,seemingly delusional to others in perception.

Haba, how can you come online and type all this romantic thoughts of yours on this space, expecting learned minds to flow along with you. The reasons quoted below for American invasion of countries is too shallow. Do more research bro.

All this hype about Russia fighting USA will be COLD WAR. have you ever seen two chicken taunting each other with hackles raised and all the fluff? That's the best they can do to each other.



greiboy:
You are more confused than i thought. cheesy

America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq because it was housing a group of Islamic radicals that declared war on America because of its support for Israel. Although, there is a conspiracy of chemical weapons hanging over the invasion of Iraq.

The population in Libya called for a regime change because they wanted a man that has ruled them for over Four decades to leave office, but he refused and started killing his own people, what happened next is now history

The Syrian regime is similar to Libya, nonetheless the is not the bone of contention in Syria. America was forced to join the war because of "the so called Islamic state" or Daish.


And Yes, there is a proxy war going on between Iran and Saudi Arabia for the soul of the middle east. The war is currently very visible in Yemen and Syria. It has nothing to do with America, but America might prefer the victory of Saudi Arabia though.

It's really getting scary.

Latest developments indicate a Pro-Assad official says targeted bases were evacuated on Russian warning

Russia issues ominous warning of 'consequences' for US-led strike on Syria. And we all know Russia doesn't joke around undecided

Fears already indicate the conflict could escalate.

The Kremlin do more of talking than action unlike my mentor, Donald J. trump . This is the 2nd time tomahawk missiles will be fired at Syria yet no significant military response from Syria greatest ally, Russia. Don't think Russia want any War atm... Cold War didn't end in Russia's favour.

Bro You took the proposal of Gaddafi seriously

The dollar is the main currency used for international trade for a reason.

Only the likes of China and European Union have the capacity to propose such changes because of the enormous trading power they hold, just like America

Gadadfi or Libya cannot change that. I will agree that America had Gaddafi in its black record before the airstrikes in Libya though.

Well said, Some years back during the fall in Oil price , did you know what was done by the US? they went( I believe you understand this as their corporations) to Saudi Arabia and had more exploration to flood the oil market which was mainly one to deter Russia's economy cus they also are major earners in Oil, it affects Nigeria as well to due to our myopic nature in geopolitics .

Every tom, dick and harry trying to make sense of international politics

Do you know when America invaded Afghanistan at all? Wasn't it after Osama bin laden and his group of Islamic touts caused a ripple in international security on September 11 2001?

Do you know why America invaded Iraq, have you tried to study the geopolitics of the region for one second atall cheesy

Do you know why the Russian will die for Assad rather than have any American interest very close to its defense base?

Do you know why Iran is working over board to ensure Assad remain the president of Syria?


Do you understand America interest in Israel?

Re: Syrian Air Defences Activated And Respond To Strikes by musicwriter(m): 10:25am On Apr 14, 2018
Wrong location!. I' am almost sure the US and allies didn't hit the right target. What the Syrian government does is keep them busy with fake targets, cause they know satellites are watching purported chemical manufactory sites from above. The allied forces then go and strike a fake location and Asaad laugh out loud. When you understand this, you'll understand why more chemical attacks would happen sooner or later.

Did you ever bother to ask why you were not told the total number of missiles dropped?

Personally, I think it could be up to 100 or more. If that's the case, it means the targets were successfully hit over 80% of the time. Americans do not want war. Trump does not want war. But this is the second time this guy would allegedly use chemical weapons on his own citizens in just a year or two. That should get you worried. If you listened to the US ambassador to the UN, she said that folks are starting to normalize the use of chemical weapons and the UN council had been doing nothing about it due to Russia's obstruction.

Of course, I know that the coalition of Western Europe and Saudi Arabia may have a hidden agenda for wanting to remove Assad. But still, unchecked terror anywhere will soon spread everywhere.

So, again, learn to question what you're told.

MrMystrO:


What is this one even saying? Can't you Read? 13 Of their Missiles just got DESTROYED and you're here spitting gibberish. How do you think those missiles were destroyed? by Syrian air power alone? The era of US dominance is over and special Thanks to Vladmir Putin and Russia for making that happen. And if them try "Anyhow" them go see "Anyhow". THIS IS NOT LIBYA!!!

Stop typing stuff from your head

The high prices encouraged fracking in America which was thought of as a very expensive way of extracting crude oil before that time.


The revolution of fracking in America meant it imported less oil from other countries.

America was the leading importer of crude oil before that time.

Even Nigeria was not left out because it exported majority of its oil to America before that time. This meant Nigeria had nowhere to sell its oil at that time. This lead to the laws of demand and supply to naturally take place and the high prices began to tumble

Now Saudi Arabia and other oil producers that can improve their capacity started producing more crude oil to make up for the shortfall in earnings.

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!

You should be the one to question what you're told. I'm glad you used the term "allegedly" to describe the chemical weapons use. However i want to ask u a question. Will you agree a man on the street accused of stealing be lynched when No EVIDENCE whatsoever can be provided that he stole anything, or will you be skeptical until it is proven, that's if you had the power to Order his lynching.. would you??

It seems some people in this forum knows Russia and Putin more than Putin himself. You guys talk about Russian military and what Putin will do as you are part and parcel of the Russian military.
Do you guys think Putin is stupid to attack America? for the sake of who? Syria? you guys are joking. The only time Putin will attack America is only if a Russian territory is attacked by the US not because of one senseless Assad who has allowed his country to be turned to a weapon testing ground because of his love for power.
America will never deliberately attack Russian military in Syria, they are not stupid but they can attack Syria whether Russia likes it or not except Russia wants to escalate which is not in their interest.
The best for Russia at this point is to quickly end this war otherwise they would be humiliated. With the threat they made, one would have thought that US ships and military assets in the region would have been destroyed by Russia immediately after the attack but they would not do that because it would mean a declaration of war with the US. So why would they have to put themselves in an awkward position when they know their limits?

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.

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.
