This shows that politics is bullshit, the last vote, it was super duper close in favour of no intervention now every MP but 43 of them are suddenly in favour? Hardly anything has changed, a British guy died and America got involved.
Funny.
This time we have been asked to help by a union of Oil States. Before we were looking to go and bomb Syria unilaterally without the acceptance of the oil countries around there.
We still aren't hitting Syria, we're asking them to be our friends, because although they like to kill their own civilians it's better than some Muslim nutters killing their own civilians.
Fuckem, honestly.
Iran has been funding these radical islamist groups to fight the US by proxy and make them waste billions of dollars fighting an asymmetric war.
Now Iran should have to reap the discord they sowed. You know who's next if ISIS takes over iraq and syria? Iran.
Frankly if we were 20-30 years further down the line with renewables we could afford to just bail out and be like "whatevs, have fun killing each other, get back to us when you actually are capable of being a democracy".
You know why ISIS is even a problem in the first place? Because Saddam kept them in line with a boot on their neck.
We removed that boot and replaced it with the US armies boot, and then we removed the boot.
Well guess what? They got up and now they wanna fuck shit up.
We fucked it up for Iraq and Syria ( Wanna guess who was funding "rebel" groups in syria? ).
Seriously our interventionism is absolutely retarded lately.
Afghanistan was a huge blunder, there were <300 Al Quada members in Afghanistan when we went in, we needed to surgically strike and leave, instead we chose to occupy.
For the muahjahadeen war is a fucking recreational sport. They fight in summer, and smoke weed and fuck little boys in winter.
Guess who funded them to fight a proxy war vs russia in the 80s and promised them their own state, and then betrayed them after the Russians left? Oh right america. That's who.
If the US ( and the UK for enabling them ) would keep their fucking fat faces out of international affairs unless there is an actual genocide happening. ( Balkans, Sierra Leone, Rwanda ), we'd all have been so much fucking better off.
I am struggling to care overly much about the politics but if you are going to start cutting the heads off kids because they don't follow your particular mental illness (religion) then frankly the only medicine is death.
Kill all of them imo.
Having said that, all this is basically the fault of Tony Blair and George Bush and we should never have fucked about in the region in the first place.
Seriously our interventionism is absolutely retarded since WWII and mostly before...
Isis have killed about 10,000 people, Syria has killed 100,000 of their civilian population.
Fixed.
I know people don't like George because he talks the truth and that..but how can any free thinking person not agree with this and be appalled at the backlash against him for not towing the line.

The caveat is..."so far". And everyone is aware that the response to Assad was so supine in the first place that 100K deaths became possible (plus, the Assad situation was complicated by his being a Russian client).
Don't be so asinine Scouse.
The man is a bit of a dick, but he's pretty much on the money here, and he's right that everyone who's not a politician can see it, but they're living on a different planet.
Don't be so asinine Scouse.
