I don’t see what Assad would possible have to gain from using chemical weapons on his own people. It was either the rebels, or the Russians trying to provoke the US for reasons that I don’t know.
Or the US, to fabricate a reason to strike Syria.
Russia isn’t going to declare war.
We don’t know this yet, but it unlikely as Russia is very weak in reality.
It’s apparently a one-off strike
Trump said he wouldn’t take any action against Syria, this clearly wasn’t true. Why would you trust his administration now?
not the firs time Assad has been accused of this. Sarin – 20 times deadlier than cyanide – was used on innocent, including children and babies.
He was accused at first, but it was proven to be the rebels, something that I mentioned in my previous post.
Assad is not the leader of a sovereign state,
Why? Is Syria not a sovereign state?
I would say keep out,do not intervene, and a one-off strike is not a military intervention in the way that Russia intervened to support one side in the war (or the US and UK have been covertly intervening to support the other side).
We should be striking the rebel elemets that are aligned with ISIS, as they are our enemy. The Kurdish nationalists are not our concern they haven’t done anything to the west, although I would rather not support communists. So I would recommend leaving them alone to fight Assad if they want to.
Assad may not be the guilty party, something you mention, drac. This is a right time for the Russians and Assad to demonstrate beyond all doubt that they are not the guilty ones.
I don’t see what Assad would possible have to gain from using chemical weapons on his own people. It was either the rebels, or the Russians trying to provoke the US for reasons that I don’t know.
The second problem is a far more serious one than intervention in Syria. The US is beginning talk of a military strike against Iran, which is Assad’s supporter. now that is alarming, and would spread the war fomr one end of the region to the other. The possibility of us all being dragged into all-out war is enhanced if that is the case.
The only reason I would support any kind of action in Iran is to limit their access to nuclear technology, but as far as I know diplomatic options are still avaliable and working.
My Dad has lived in Spain for many years and he’s very worried about the future. Having put pretty much everything in the pot to move, there wont be enough to make a move back to the UK, not that he wants to come back. Uncertain times for the ex-pats.
Why would he have to come back?
The party refusing to guarentee the status of existing immigrants is the EU, they are the only reason that he would have to.
I feel extremely angry that I’ve been stripped of EU citizenship
Why? What have you been able to do that would be impossible without EU citizenship?
by a nationalist campaign based on falsehoods and pandering to prejudice.
Are we going to have this conversation again? There was multiple campaigns to leave, which one are you talking about, and what did they say that was a falsehood?
Spain still has a major problem with unemployment, but it’s not immigration that is the point here. It’s free movement of people
Spain has a lot more problems than unemployment, but its good you’re finally admiting that freedom of movement has negative effects on the native population.
The only thing you have said about the EU in this post is negative.
That has now disappeared.
No, people will still be able to travel and live in France and Spain.
What was that you were saying about falsehoods?
I do not approve of these strikes at all, it is the oposite of Trump said he would do during the campaign.
The main reason is that Syria is part of a military alliance with Russia, 60 years ago this would have been considered a declaration of war, and Russia and the US would now be war. This may still happen, it depends how Putin decides to react, and if more strikes are made.
I don’t like Assad, but the only thing removing him will do is give ISIS more influence in the region and further destabilise the Middle East. The last time chemical weapons were used in Syria it was by the rebels (ISIS), why is it suddenly so bad that Assad is using them in return? If he even was the one that actually used it.
Not using paragraphs should be illegal.

I think Mrs May has decided it is a bad thing.

Now, THAT I wish I had missed. let’s hope things don’t badly awry, shall we?
We are already in a cold war with Spain, it’s going great.
