U.S. Air Strikes in Syria

No. China has been funding the war all along. The US mans the war, China funds the war, and the entire continent of Europe carries the duty of assimilating the general public of the middle east to accept western standards of society. Haven't you ever wondered why a continent, formally considered extremely difficult for foreign immigration to gain citizenship, suddenly is so open armed to accept so may people? The UK has the role nice guy right now, but will one day stand up as the world superpower they truly are, and the US will be their noble ally. In the meantime the politicians will convince the general public they're doing the honorable thing, rescuing those people from the evil USofA.

 

Have already said it all here before. Jack is brilliantly insightful when having her tinfoil hat on.

Chinese banks?  Yes I have.  Then I wonder why so many ancient aliens love multiculturalism in Europe, yet despise it in Israel.  The UK is nothing, it's just some little island in Europe that gives away it's own laws.  Globalization will never end.

The UK is far from nothing.

It's a joke.

I remember seeing this video with Peter Hitchens.  Where he says something about how when England loses a football match there will be people weeping in the street, but when our politicians gives away our sovereignty to the European Union, no one cares.  Sums it up pretty well.  Too many brainwashed citizens worried more about their team or who's gonna win Strictly Come Dancing, rather than important issues.  The people have been dumbed down to create the Jeremy Kyle generation.

Would have to disagree with calling any world superpower a joke; though tend to prefer a big picture perspective of the situation.

Personally would rather attend a hockey game than watch any of this crap on the news. Don't see as being able to do anything about it anyway; might as well try to enjoy life in the meantime.

We don't have any power.  We're just like a boil on USrael's arse.

There's always hope, but yeah, it's best just to try and enjoy life.

When looking very closely at the details, it could seem that way.

It's good to have you back here, benjimanbreeg.

Thanks friend.

I think most people are still human, some even decent, and only a select few would seriously consider beheading others for whatever reason. The problem is that it's the latter that gets all the attention.

Not exactly accurate. The majority of Germans killing Jews at the concentration camps were normal "decent" people. Many of them had to drink themselves into oblivion in order to do their jobs.

The majority of the Germans killing Jews at the concentrations was a minority of the total population. I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with.

Of course they were a minority of Germans but they were a good cross section of German society, they were "regular Joes".  My point is that even "good" people will do evil things when commanded to by higher authority

That's where we disagree. I don't think most people would get into beheading others.

bomb them for the greater good

   

Now that would be integrity.

True altruism.

[odeon]

The US and UK politicians do actually make out like they're doing the honorable thing by bombing people.

It's what politicians do.

Force simply isn't ever going to be the answer. It has been used to "solve" problems countless times in the past, and it always creates several new ones.

That independence thing you guys had a couple of hundred years ago didn't solve anything. I know.

Now we're a problem for everyone else.

The UK is important, but it's not a superpower.
