lemme put it Straight to you, Russia CAN NOT fund a war without totally crashing her economy- Russia is struggling at the moment, abi you no know?
Even Israel is fit enough to engage Russia... America can comfortably keep a Naval assault running up the Mediterenean for over 2months without Allied effort and they'd still be America.
Do you really think any of the former Soviet countries are going to stick their necks up or play pseudo socialism for Putin?
All this one sef na noise, Russia will not even engage anything with the US if the US strikes Syria, Putin is not stupid to go head to head with a country that spends 10 times his annual budget on War Financing at this time.
Assad's going down period.

Virgin Finder: They have already said there won't be ground troops. Why are you guys so headstrong?

Financial benefits from attacking Syria?

Has the Syrian situation not gone worse despite int'l isolation or 'siddon look' over the past 21/2 years?

Has Assad won?

You are not bright!

X-factoria:
So you think that the US will attempt to sack Assad/the Syrian government without sitting down to analyze the chances and implications of Assad's backers - Russia, China, Iran etc forming alliances to attack them? You think they reason like Nigerians? What do you think they have been using their huge defense budget for? You think it has never crossed their minds that a day like this lye await for a nation of their stature? Do you ever think America is oblivious of the desperation of the Russians to achieve a balance of power since Ronald Reagan/CIA orchestrated breakdown of the soviet union?

Anyway, the reason Obama deferred the decision to intervene in Syria to the US congress was to have their inputs and satisfy the need for a high level deliberation because of the perceived possible escalation of the intended military action. The implications for the US inaction is grave. There is a compelling need to nip in the bud, the free use of chemical weapons/wmd in the middle-east. There are also huge and growing humanitarian concerns - about 6 million Syrians have been displaced since the war (I don't know where you got your 80% Syrian likeness for Assad from). There are also concerns for Israel if Hezbollah/Shiite Syria survives this or wax stronger. So please drop your propaganda that the Omar pipeline deal is spurring America to action. The US has been reluctant to act because Syria holds no economic benefit to them but the chemical weapon usage and the worsening humanitarian issues are of grave concern to "big brother". Excuses you may say but these are enough grounds for intervention. Everywhere in the world, the majority must be allowed to have their say. If Assad only controls about 30-40% of Syria as of now, he has no right to lay claim to legitimacy any longer.

If for anything the Russians are to be blamed for encouraging the Assad regime to hold on when the people are already tired of him and his government. From day one, the Russians have been arming the regime and helping them with intelligence for their own selfish reasons.

Let Assad resign, there will be peace in Syria!

your point exactly??
its because you dont know what I meant thats why you quickly posted an empty statement, let me enlighten you son;
The former USSR was a world power along with the US before the coldwar(1985-1991) that later led to the disintegration of the USSR under Gorbachev.
The USSR consisted of Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Latvia, Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan the Baltics basically about 15countries.
But they fell apart because the system could'nt just work. Do you think Ukraine, Belarus or anyone of the former Soviets is going to stick its neck out for a war Russia dives into? When they themselves are trying to recover from previous aftermaths?
At the time of Joseph Stalin, Russia could go head to Head with the US why? Because They had the economic strength to Match the US (Dont you know wars cost seriioooous money?) they even funded space and Nuclear researches with ease and they had stronger allies eg Germany.
now Russia cant, because they have economic issues themselves, that is why they are not pleased with the US interfaring with the Syria case because they are making cash from selling arms to Syria and thats about to stop if the US intervenes.
Russia cant go head to head with the US this present day and everybody knows that, I'd be more scared about a Global war if China got directly involved.
Not like I'm supporting a war though because as it is, its a delicate situation, but I'm just letting you know that the Russia of before was a lot stronger than the Russia of now.

Flytefalls: Naive?



For you: I do not support war or America. I support coordinated international relief/aid efforts as an 'intervention' for the >4million displaced Syrians who have suffered already. I am talking of food, water, shelter, medicine, restructure funds; basically up-scaling what the UN is already doing. I also inferred (@bolded) that even our humanitarian efforts (as interventions) could result in war in some future place in time- one cannot discount that fact. It was somebody's bright idea to help arm the rebels- we will pay for that. It's best always to stay ph7 neutral to avoid unnecessary future repercussions; but this stance does not bode well to those affected .

We cannot offer security. It is not our place to- this is their civil war. But we can't afford to be seen doing absolutely nothing; which is what many Syrians in the UK are verbalising. Basically what this guy is now saying now that his government have voiced their displeasure at military action: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23942037

Eko Atlantic: How far can the president go with his desperate mind of getting re-elected in 2015?

Paying militants(OPC) to cause havoc and disrupt SouthWest's peace by awarding them a N2b contract of securing pipelines. Is this the pipeline they want Nigerians to believe they are securing?

Involving in state(anambra) politics by secretly disqualifying the best candidate and the man of the people(professor Soludo) to guarantee his 2015 support from the state and imposing puppets on the good people of the state.

Fighting one of Nigeria's most competent and hard working governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state, just because he doesn't fall for his(jonathan) dubious antics and wanting to stand alone. Where 5 lawmakers successfully impeached a speaker in a house that has over 30 honorable(s).

Breaking down a forum(Nigeria governor's forum) into factions, a forum that has been existing before he knew anything close to politics. Where 16votes was greater than 19votes.

^^^
All these because of 2015!!!

-Yet, the education sector is crumbling with federal and state universities lecturers on strike.
-Health sector is write off, where governors and even the first lady need to fly out of the country to threat even malaria.
-Oil theft at its peak.
-taking loans allover the world to revive the locomotive rail system, that couldn't successfully move goods from Lagos to Kano/Kaduna(less than a thousand kilometers)
And renovating existing airports which was never his idea, claiming to have achieved.

Yet Nigeria is the highest oil exporter in Africa.

Really fresh air!

Ayatullah: @Mankand, You are a confusionist, why are you posting the incidence of May, 2013 for the fresh attack of August 2013. Are you an Israeli Agent?

Caleboha: Who born Iran? Make dem try bomb any country na, they'll cease to exist in the world map! It'll take only the gallantry of America to invade all these country unscathed. America rules the world, haters can to go to hell!!!

Onosas: I suspect the rebels even America new it only that they woun't admit it in the public. There was a leaked video some months ago showing some army deserters training some foriegn terrorist fighting the Asad govt on how to create biological and chemical weapons.
If there is any success the islamic terrorist has gained in this Syrian war, it will be the aqusition of the technical know-how on the making of biological weapons. And thier greater success will be to amassed as many sophiscated weapons as possible as soon Asad regimes falls.
In addition, i see the aquisition of chemical weapon as a game changer in thier quest to terrorised the globe. Moreover the knowledge of chemical weapons will soon spread to other terrorist group across the world including Nigeria.

sneezeemek: Mr man u re like seriously losing ur mind, the chairman that was arrested is he from Anambra, is he even from any of the south eastern states? U really need an urgent psychiatric attention, u tribalistic bigot

LesbianBoy: What shall it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul.


Goon and you think you are better than bim? Smh na wah

Christ Addict:
Is it Lagos state government that is developing Lagos?
The federal government and investors from other states including foreign investors are those doing the Job, Lagos government is only administering and controlling traffic just like what Information Minister Labaran Maku said.
