got a call for three nines
Russia and China have veto power on every issue.





Nothing is going down without Russia and China not knowing. There can be no UN security council approval of a no fly/swim/drive/eat whatever the fukk anything if Russia or China vote "NO."

When the issue came up with libya, they both abstained. Thats the equivalent of turning a blind eye. That shyt isn't going down again.

From what I gather, there is no real internal politic turmoil in either country right now that will force an abstain vote. Not to mention, Iraq level instability in Syria is a major major headache for both countriesiy.

We can hoot and holler all the fukk we want. But we are in no position to do anything unless we really want to officially start the second Cold War. It is now 9:24 in Syria. Ain't nobody blowing a pop off. I got 10000 coli cash that the US ain't even gonna throw a paper plane in Assads direction by Friday, midnight, west coast time.

This is the international equivalent of our debt ceiling debate.
America should drop a tactical nuke on Assad.
Then pose a whodoneit to the UN like why would you do that Russia? China por que? Maybe get Pakistan and India in it as well.

This is getting interesting.
Reuters) - Russia is sending two warships to the eastern Mediterranean, Interfax news agency said on Thursday, as Western powers prepare for military action over last week's alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria.

Interfax news agency quoted a source in the armed forces' general staff as saying a missile cruiser and an anti-submarine ship would arrive in the coming days because of the "well-known situation" - a clear reference to the conflict in Syria.

I know it won't lead to anything, but smaller things have caused war before

:heh:

What supposed to happen? Do you think they'll be sailing next to each other like the 18th Century, or what?


We have 5 subs and three aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean right now and a few more aircraft carriers and subs in the Gulf not to mention all the support ships... there are literally at least two fleets

Dennis Kucinich: Syria Strike Would Make U.S. 'Al Qaeda's Air Force,' Could Spark 'World War Three'
Former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) cautioned against hasty military action in Syria during a Tuesday interview with The Hill, claiming that air strikes would help al Qaeda and lead to much broader conflict.

"So what, we're about to become Al Qaeda's air force now?" Kucinich said, presumably referring to reports that the terrorist group has also vowed "revenge" on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime. "This is a very, very serious matter that has broad implications internationally. And to try to minimize it by saying we're just going to have a 'targeted strike' -- that's an act of war. It's not anything to be trifled with."

The Obama administration has confirmed its belief that Assad is responsible for killing as many as 1,000 innocent civilians in a chemical attack last week. The United Nations also concluded that a chemical substance was used in the strike, but has yet to determine that it came from Assad's forces, who have accused rebel forces of also using chemical weapons.

While momentum for retaliatory military action builds in the West, Kucinich told The Hill that it would be unwise to rush into a decision that could possibly lead to "World War Three."

Kucinich also suggested that it would be unconstitutional for Obama to order a strike without congressional approval, a viewpoint that both the president and Vice President Joe Biden once shared as members of Congress. The Ohio Democrat made a similar argument in 2011, claiming that it could be an impeachable offense for Obama to take military action in Libya without first consulting lawmakers.

Kucinich has attracted scrutiny for his input on Syria in the past. In 2011, he went on a "fact-finding" mission to the Middle Eastern nation, a trip that gave rise to reports by state-owned media claiming that Kucinich had lavished praise on Assad for his willingness to "negotiate." Kucinich's office responded by saying that the then-congressman's actual comments had been "lost in translation."
