No, seriously, only WWII only only partially. The others? No, can't say as I agree. We stick our nose where it doesn't belong. Only reason MAAAAYBE for war is if we are attacked and that only happened sort of in Hawaii (never would have if we hadn't armed HI).

Let's stop making excuses for more war. That has only led us down, down, down into the quagmire of endless, futile war we are in.

No chemical weapons in Bazrah as of six months ago. And no, it’s not the only thing I took away from the 4 page report. Another thing I took away from it is your reliance upon a report that does not conclusively prove what you continuously state. Chemical weapons are not primarily stored in large quantities and are typically armed just prior to delivery to their target. Chlorine gas is the exception, hence why barrel bombs can be deployed. But I suppose you’ll argue that Assad’s forces have never dropped them. Like any good 3D, the ability to cherry pick one small kernel of “truth” and argue it’s a thread that proves your point, is a great one. See Pizza, Comet, Podesta, Email. You’re being suckered and have lost all objectivity yet only you know the truth.polaris_x said:
seriously!??? ... you read the entire 3 page document and that's what you got?Halifax2TheMax said:
The report does not confirm what you state. In fact, the report states that the Syrian authorities weren’t completely forthcoming with answers to questions posed. See paragraph 10. Further, the report states that further inspections are required to confirm that the 25 of 27 sites remain non functional, inclusive of previously known underground facilities. Are there unknown underground facilities? Do the Russians not have chemical weapons capabilities? No wonder 3D wants you to work with him.polaris_x said:
assuming you are referring to the inspection? ... lots of sources that the barzah research facility was bombed ...Halifax2TheMax said:
source?polaris_x said:So .. we now know this ..
The research facility that was bombed was a cancer research facility ... for those who don't know ... cancer related medicines are part of the sanctions imposed on Syria ... we also know that the OPCW inspected the facility for the 2nd time in November 2017 and said there was no suspicious activity ...
here is the OPCW report on Syria ... search on barzah to find the specific statement from the OPCW
https://www.opcw.org/fileadmin/OPCW/EC/88/en/ec88dg01_e_.pdf
first of all - it most definitely stated what I said ... NO chemical weapons in Bazrah ... sorry to everyone it does not copy and paste well ... if you read section 11 - it clearly states there are no chemical weapons in Bazrah ...
the fact that the Syrian delegation may not have answered fully all questions is subjective on how you interpret it ... also the report states that they verified that 25 of the 27 facilities were in fact destroyed ... the conclusion clearly states it will continue to monitor the 2 remaining and underground sites ... well, they don't need to monitor 1 of the 2 because it's been blown up ...
Sattilite imagery of before and after shows at least two of the complexes as being in agricultural areas and not near dense populations. The US and their allies have weapons systems to destroy chemical weapons with minimized risks to nearby populations. Do I think any of this is right or moral? No. Does that make Assad and Putin nice guys without an agenda? Absolutely not. I suppose you believe the chechens leveled that apartment building in Moscow a decade or so ago? Right?

His point is that there will always be a superpower. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
As brutal as the US has been at times for some countries... I'll take my chances with them running the block versus... oh... say Russia or China.
We're likely on a collision course with a catastrophic war event. It's shitty to think about, but it's more probable than every country laying down their arms and becoming a true global community.
I'd also like to add that the Trump experiment... no... I mean to say 'calamity'... has pushed us closer to that moment versus removing us from it.

If anyone named Hitler the real problem that caused the WWII, still the International Community’s indifference and indolence are the responsibles. Who else created the conditions for Hitler to rise? It isn’t Germany who put those harsh sanctions to itself.
and plenty of countries go into economic collapse without electing one of the most racist and evil people in history. The treaty is only part to blame. And none of that changes the fact that once hitler took power, that war was justified for the allies.
It's obvious from the last 70 years or so that getting involved/creating more war does not bring peace...
Let's stop making excuses for more war. That has only led us down, down, down into the quagmire of endless, futile war we are in.
His point is that there will always be a superpower. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
As brutal as the US has been at times for some countries... I'll take my chances with them running the block versus... oh... say Russia or China.
We're likely on a collision course with a catastrophic war event. It's shitty to think about, but it's more probable than every country laying down their arms and becoming a true global community.
I'd also like to add that the Trump experiment... no... I mean to say 'calamity'... has pushed us closer to that moment versus removing us from it.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
I dont know the legitimacy of this source or article, but it is scary reading.

soo .. no sign of weapons as of November 2017 is not good enough for you?? ... again - you have no proof that Assad dropped chemical weapons ... even general mattis admitted the US gov't has no proof but yet you do!?? ...Halifax2TheMax said:
No chemical weapons in Bazrah as of six months ago. And no, it’s not the only thing I took away from the 4 page report. Another thing I took away from it is your reliance upon a report that does not conclusively prove what you continuously state. Chemical weapons are not primarily stored in large quantities and are typically armed just prior to delivery to their target. Chlorine gas is the exception, hence why barrel bombs can be deployed.

I think out of all the home nations Ireland is the most popular and most beautiful country. Irish people are really some of the best souls around.. London is a rubbish dump of hollow souls . I would rather be in ireland/Scotland and wales. Beautiful places. Anyway of topic sorry . Just wanted to apologise for the English.ConorKavanagh said:
I don't really care enough to hate any of them honestly. I was just trying to join in and make the thread a little bit more polemic for a while. Most people I've met from each of the 3 countries have been amazing people whose company I've really enjoyed. Having said that, there was one time that I was in London near Wembley after the football team had just been beaten and almost got killed for being from Ireland.

No, seriously, only WWII only only partially. The others? No, can't say as I agree. We stick our nose where it doesn't belong. Only reason MAAAAYBE for war is if we are attacked and that only happened sort of in Hawaii (never would have if we hadn't armed HI).
https://www.munplanet.com/articles/interesting-questions/could-world-war-ii-have-been-prevented"Woodrow Wilson’s call to create the League of Nations and its epic failure is a great allegory to explain why WWII exploded. Negligence and indifference from the States involved in the international scene were what prompted turmoil in Europe. A harsh Treaty of Versailles that sunk Germany into debt and economic and social crisis was only allowed by a bunch of countries that weren’t looking forward the future of Europe; or even the world. The policy of isolationism taken by the United States at the end of the war, which emphasized on not intervening in European affairs any more, prevented the United States from joining the League on Nations, weakening it considerably and leading it to its dissolution. With a strong punishment, and no way nations could cooperate as a whole (the League of Nations) the battleground was set for a greater conflict.
As Germany sunk in crisis, other countries started recovering from the wounds of war. This gave Germany an image of an underdeveloped country, or even worse, of a criminal receiving its punishment. Being seen as the enemy, and also being helpless, drove Germany to seek a quick turn table. The conditions created by the International community made the Nazi party so appealing to people. Let’s consider how German society felt after being named the responsible for the worst war ever.

That's very encouraging to hear, Rob. For several years now, I've placed much of my hope on the younger generations. I think they generally understand that peace is their best chance for survival. They also have fewer biases than older generations like mine. They commingle with other races creeds and colors better than those who came before them. They are generally less homophobic, xenophobic and racist than older generations. They are hope personified.lastexitlondon said:

Exactly and look at the protests against guns against cutting funding here for nurses and many causes. I genuinely think this new generation have the scope and exposure to speak and be seen/heard. I feel good when i speak to my children. They do not have the racist and homophobic undertones that my dad has. Its totally different. That has to produce love and understanding. My kids view on kids being gassed. Is one of utter disgust and disgrace. Whoever gassed them. I don't know. But i hsve faith in my kids generation!

I was listening to MSNBC (which I tend to dislike greatly) this morning. They were talking more about whether the US went far enough than whether the US should have done anything at all. Honestly based on the talk I was hearing it wouldn't have been far-fetched if it was on Fox News. Got me thinking...is it because the evidence is so compelling that the US had to do something, or is it the only thing the left/Right can agree on .... bombing...war.

So either the white helmets are a terrorist organization and everything is fake to get public support of bombing, or Assad is a monster using chemical weapons on families.
These are 2 very extreme situations.
I’ve read a bunch from both sides and now I know nothing more and my head hurts
