As it stands, there doesn't seem any way that this can work out particularly smoothly.

It's probably the first time in history that things have been played out so publically. There is a constant stream of leaks from all quarters if you know where to look. I don't even think we are 1% into it yet, maybe they will end it before the real damage is done?

Yeah, reverse everything. Good is bad, war is peace, bondage is freedom. All Winston Smith-ish. This video's speaker has oodles of credibility but we'd never see it on terrestrial TV. In it she says what 'loons' have maintained for years: there is no civil war going on in Syria today nor at any time during the past five years. It's always been Syrians of all faiths versus foreign mercenaries.

Apparently that vid has only had 1800 views. Something quite dodgy going on with the yootoobs these days

Re: The Donald Trump thread

So why is Trump, who some on here maintain is at the head of a populist movement against the "ruling elite", now authorising bombing of Syrian targets?

Must say though that if the UN really were behind that video, it does make you wonder what's going on.

You mean the ex-head of a populist movement against the "ruling elite"

Who know's what is really going on, but it's interesting that the attack took place as he was having dinner with the Chinese president, just before they are due to have talks about North Korea and those disputed islands.

Take it for what you will but Sputnik were reporting ISIS attacked Syrian army positions almost simultaneously.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Something not quite right here and plenty of flexing of muscles going on. Propaganda has always existed bit it's getting harder in these days of social media and fake news to keep track of right from wrong.
The killing of innocents and increase in migrants showing no signs of abating.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

The US strike was gentlemanly; the US informed Russia beforehand to minimise casualties. Russia relayed the message to Syria. But Syria reports six people died at the airfield. What the US did was an illegal act of war. The UK government supports their criminality.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Team Donald's latest Tweetyweety:

"North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A."

Apparently written by a 10 year old and chosen as the winning entry by Team Donald.

Don't worry folks, it's only WW3 we are playing with on Twitter today. roll.gif

But if the USA "solve" the North Korea "problem" what excuse will they then have to patrol the south China sea with them nooks?

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Indeed it is.

Lets hope that Kim Jong-un is not too unfamiliar with the ol' routine and stops himself getting a tad jittery.

I get that its all a game of brinkmanship, smoke and mirrors.
It is this childish, lowest-common-denominator Jingo-ism that makes me cringe.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Today's been quite a day. First off North Korea threatened to nuke the Yanks' military bases in South Korea, Pacific Ocean and in the USA itself (implying they have the capability) should they detect the US is about to launch a pre-emptive strike on them, then hours later China threatened to bomb North Korea's nuclear facilities if they (China) deduce that North Korea has crossed their "bottom line."

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Everyone's sabre rattling. Yanks against Syria and North Korea. Russia and Iran against USA by telling them not to do similar in Syria again. North Korea versus USA and China getting arsey with North Korea. Meanwhile on the main board speculation is rife over who might be Tiger Woods' new girlfriend, and why is Simon Cowell limping - is it because of a painful verruca or ingrown toenail?
