What would the US or British Government have to gain by dropping chemical bombs on Syria and blaming it on Assad? It's not like they have shed loads of oil. Why do you assume I do that. They obviously wanted to use it as an excuse to escalate the conflict which clearly has been our intention all along. Which would probably have meant boots on the ground imo. Why is anyone's guess. There could be lots of reasons. It was on the list of seven countries the last republican administration are on record as planning to change the government of through military means. Axis of evil etc. ThoughI do know a cracking theory about it as it happens. I'm sure you'd not agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's absurd about my alternative theories? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 How exactly would you escalate the conflict in Syria more than where it already is? It's like saying Mount Everest isn't high enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Maybe absurd is the wrong word convoluted then, both are plausible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying Mount Everest isn't high enough. Have we invaded Syria? You could put a quarter of a million NATO troops on the ground that would be a slight escalation no? You could overthrow the Syrian government. Which has been the expressed wish of the UK and USA governments for years btw they openly say they want regime change. What a ridiculous question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video is about the chemical attack under Trump's rule. I thought you were talking about the attack that Obama defied his Government by not using it as a red line for military invasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm just using it as an example of how our media treat this and how misleading it can be if you take the BBC or CNN as gospel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Quite nice to see this thread has multiple new posts and none of them are about a mass murder with a gun in the US. I expect normal service to resume soon though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Seventeen kids gunned down in a school shooting - thoughts and prayers. Dog dies in an overhead locker on a flight - "Quick! I need to raise this in the Senate and get a bill through to stop this ever happening again! Dogs are family after all. But not kids though."

This is a fucking brilliant thread and one which will probably still be going strong long after I'm brown bread.

This sort of thing happens about 4 times a day in America. Children find their parent's gun, have no idea how dangerous it is and actually kill somebody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
