The General Political Thread

Lol! Russians all talk no action!!!

A bigger response might be given in due time, but most likely it will not a military response, unless any further strikes will cause damage to Russian troops. Russia will stick to their diplomatic responses for now I believe. Congratulations to the coalition forces (USA, UK and France) for demonstrating their incompetence in destroying anything of importance. 71 out of the 103 missiles fired at Syria were intercepted by the Syrian army, using old Soviet-era surface-to-air missiles. This is a total humiliation for them, especially since Trump was bragging about his 'new' and 'smart' missiles.

I can only applaud Russia for their smart diplomatic play, it is quite impressive. The coalition forces managed to violate both fundamental human rights and the UNSC charter in their attack yesterday, but it's not like anyone will care or punish them for it anyways.

If Russian troops get hit in another attack though, I can guarantee you that there will be a quick and harsh military response.

USA never published how many missiles were launched.

Yeah, a quick and harsh military response which will either lead to a nUcLeAr wAr or to a failure.

Damn y’all got really strong opinions about this lol

Russia is just a little more democratic than the process that lead to noorwegian becoming a global mod.

My 5 cents.

 Russian economics is taking another hard dive, so they need to keep their diplomatic face by pretending they influencing global politics. Though, they're going more and more for a militarism in country, so they must keep the population in constant readiness for conflicts. There will be no unrest inside country if leaders talk about constant threats outside the Russia.
 About missles - no evidence or proofs about intrecepted ones were given by the way. Russian media were caught on lie so many times here in Ukraine, so why not they can make the same in Syria, lies lies.
 What we have in Syria is another little local war without high chance of getting global, the sides will keep challenging each other on both diplomatic and military fields. Remember the episode, where US troops destroyed russian troops moving to the oil fields? What action Russia took? Nothing.

When you try to paint Russia and Assad as people who care about human rights

They don't but west is much worse. USA killed more than 3 million people in Iraq, agent orange was a humanitary juice as well. Not to mention that USA election mean nothing since President or congress have no power,  look at Trump he was saying he will stop supporting rebels in Syria now that he is elected does what illuminati tell him to do. US presidents are just puppets while Putin and Assad are at least actual rulers of their country. Look a country that has a dictator that kills a few political opponents lets start a war and kill at least a milion people and refugees will go to Europe anyways.

When you try to paint Russia and Assad as people who care about human rights

But they do.

If you define caring as using gas on their people, they both deeply care for their own civilians.

Never happened.

Fact is NATO is agressor that is bullying Russia and USA broke many agreements with Russia about staying out of middle east, not building antinuke systems...

Yes it is. It’s the age old argument of deflecting onto somebody else to avoid criticism for something you can’t defend.

There has been bombing in Syria for years, big difference is this one is public and trump is "bragging" about it, that's why it's gathering much more attention, anyone with half a brain knows this is nothing new.
