Wasn't is the case in Libya where It was initially an humanitarian mission to stop atrocities and quickly escalated to a regime change mission?\

Not saying you're wrong, but this shyt seems to change fast.

I do agree with you though if I had to place bets. I don't think the Trump administration has the stomach to engage in a regime change mission, especially given how image obsessed and not much else Trump appears to be. We bombed an airfield last time and that was a big victory and that was that. If there is a regime change, I don't think it will be fronted by this administration.

The time to do a forced regime change was pre-2015.

But Obama wasn’t going to do it. And Hillary Clinton also said you’d have to kill a lot of people taking down the air defenses.

The $1 billion per year CIA program was it and then the support from Saudi, Qatar and Turkey for various groups.

Once the Russians came in, that stopped a Libya style no fly-zone.

The Russians and certain times Chinese have given Assad the diplomatic cover to survive.

They abstained in 2011 regarding Libya.

I'm going hold on to your posts for safe keeping. :patrice:


So for me....where are the pics videos of hospitals in Douma after this. :lupe:

It also logically speaking makes no sense for Assad to use chemical weapons at this late stage of the war when he's the one winning...

A chemical attack all but guarantees foreign intervention which is the only thing that can save the rebels at this stage of the war...

Assad is a sadistic piece of shyt capable of gassing his own people but he's not a dumbass...

I wonder if the EU has come together to launch a coordinated series of strikes against Syria and then other Russian and Iranian targets.
only 5 EU nations are not part of NATO so this can be seen as a NATO operation as well.

in my life time i do not recall NATO ever really flexing.
this announcement is a warm up stretch but if they flex....:mjgrin:
