Are we seriously about to go to war with Syria?
- Thread starter Mr210
- Start date
Regional interests. Why else? 
I dont think they will intervene as
they cannot do a Libya, this requires 5 times the resources of Libya, and troops on the ground.
Air strikes will only knock out the air assests, and heavy armour of the Syrian army.
Seeing how badly they are using these assests, it think NATO will do them a favor.
With only a no-fly zone, I see a brief roll back of the Syrian army, followed by improved performance and defeat of the rebels again but on a narrower front.
This improved performance will push NATO into moving ground troops.
The reason why the Syrian army is performing badly is because they have not been listening to their Hezbollah and Iranian advisors on the ground. The changes required from them clashed with their political aims.
The Iranians advised reduced use of tanks and airstrikes, focusing them on smaller number of objectives, more intelligent use of infantry.
This collided with the egos with what remains of the Syrian general staff ..
Air strikes will see them shut the fuk up, and give greater control to Iranian specialists and competent Syrian officers.
But, I don't think Obama has the balls.

This is not a case of "we" but rather "they" are going to war. This reeks of a rogue government making moves against the will of the people (wasn't there a poll in which only 9% of respondents were in favor of attacking Syria) and following aggressive geopolitical "interests" (not your and my interests but rather their interests). I dislike the reality of war coming into view.
According to the U.S. the president can shoot, stab, torture and vaporize this people by the tens of thousands but if the kill 20 with gas its time to step in.
Arizona, Missouri and Wyoming still use lethal gas as a method of execution

I don't even know why the U.S. would start a war with them in the first place. Let them sort out their differences. And, y'all need to learn to mind your own damn business. But, y'all the U.S. Y'all never learn. 
This is why Canada is the best country in the world!

It's great. I have a bunch of ppl in my family who have dual-citizenship. Hell, I'm even thinking about having it in the future. But, I don't know what benefits I'd get from the U.S. Canada has free health care. What do y'all have?
