He did it again. Who will stop this maniac

By all accounts it was delivered by bomber (even the russian spin is "assad's bombs blew up rebel chemical storage") and the people with planes in the area are: the west/nato, assad, russia. Nato didn't intervene after ACTUAL chemical weapon attacks so what the fuck would be the point of a false flag that they continued not intervening after.

day 1

shills already working on leftypol

Does anyone non-ironically believe that he did this?
Cui bono? Not Assad that's for sure.
I wonder if there's some other nearby military power than has an interest in making Assad look bad, has a history of false flag operations, and doesn't care about killing Arab civilians…? Who could it be?

I know you're asking rhetorically but I'm still not really sure who you mean. Turkey?

Israel, he's suggesting Israel did it

Obviously I was referring to the greedy backstabbing Armenians Fuck those guys, if the Turks had finished the job we wouldn't have any Kardashians.

implying they would change tactics from their ISIS forces

because he's a right wing dictator who hates the population and is mentally unstable and paranoid. there's no reason to believe that he didn't do it, i haven't see strong evidence that he did. But, he is definitely the prime suspect. You people have no impartiality when it comes to these turd positionist fags. Until proven otherwise all signs indicate it was SAA.

I love how when it comes to something like US politics tankies can correctly identify that its possible for there to be no good choices, but when the topic switches to foreign politics suddenly someone has to be the "good guy". It's so fucking autistic.

If assad was a rational actor he wouldn't be in this mess in the first place

why do so many of you fellate putin and assad?

especially putin, who is nothing more than boris yeltsin: the next generation

would watch, tbh

There is a certain class of "leftist" whose political opinions start and end at "america bad."
Yes america is bad 99% of the time but it doesn't mean that america is completely incapable of good or at least neutral and also doesn't mean that opposition to america is good.

See: fucking Latuff's Ukraine comics where in the space of a week he went from "Callous Obama examine he nails as Ukraine, savaged by russian bear, pleads for help" to "heroic russia rescues ukraine from Obama and EU's vile tendrils."

I don't, I just don't think he's a cartoon villain.

SOMEBODY'S got to be a cartoon villain unless you think the rebels somehow acquired an air force and used it to bomb themselves

you know i almost think the only faction for whom it WOULDN'T amount to cartoon villainy if they were behind it might actually be the kurds? It'd just be regular villainy then.

They just captured an air base by Tabqa, theory checks out

Good argument.

Bullshit. The US had been working to undermine him since 2006. Assad knew this. The presentation of the arab spring in the western media was part of the reason the protests got so big. This was steered in this direction from the start by western IC, NGOs and MSM. If Assad had stepped aside right at the start Syria would likely now look like Libya. Perhaps fewer deaths but much bleaker prospects.

I was thinking less "step aside" and maybe more tell his security forces "hey you know what let's limit ourselves to only torturing ADULTS to death."

No need though, it's not happening anyway.

US NGOs and the IC had been agitating against Assad since 2006. If he'd stpped aside Syria would be either A US puppet state or Libya 2 tending to islamism. He STILL enjoys majority support, his army is STILL mostly Sunni.

Yeltsin2. How? Yeltsin sold off everything the state owned and crashed their economy where Putin has stronged their economy and tried to resist globalism.

literally just said "i don't mean stepping aside"

Wait - is Assad liked by Holla Forums too? He 🍀🍀🍀allegedly🍀🍀🍀 gasses Islamic fundamentalists, protects Syria's (comparatively white) secularist and Christian minorities, and is liked by both Trump (for his competence at maintaining and secularism) and Putin (for his status as a regional ally).

Are you really okay with supporting an authoritarian nationalist just because you like his economic policy?

:^)

IT'S O YOU DIPSHIT REEE

I think it's because being critical of everything is too hard for most people.
People need the good guy side and the bad guy side. That means rejecting the western establishment become too often sucking other establishùent's cock.

Also a similar thing is happening with media sources. Realizing the MSM spouts bullshit become for a lot of people that MSM is always lying and alternative news network can do no wrong.

Yeah, we do. Here's a handy dandy guide

...

This is the apparent aftermath of the missile, hmm.

No way was it sarin, all those first responders with bare hands and paper masks would be dead. Plus there are animals running around in the background, they would have all ran away or died.

What's with all this CIA? It's not about supporting Assad so much as it's about opposing attempts by Western powers to non-democratically overthrow him for their own gain at the cost of life in the region.

Do you people just suddenly forget what happened in Iraq or Libya?

1989 called.

did you forget how the Assad family have """"""""governed""""""""""" for the last few decades?

Seems pretty good to me

russia has
ffs

Yeah

where did iI see that before?

CIA pls go. In 1989 when the USSR was the second largest economy in the world you might've had something but that shit is warmed over Cold War bs. Russia has fallen all the way down into the spot of 12th largest economy in the world, economically, which is really what counts it is in bad straights when compared to America and China which are both much greater oppressors of developing countries via capital export. To say nothing of the fact that the stuff about 'muh stronk Russian military' is just a bunch of hype to keep young Russians from abandoning the Yeltsin-Putin post-Soviet political system in droves.

Trump gets his team to get on his page, no regime change. A huge change in policy, and Assads basic win of the war.

Two days later, during the intelligence communities biggest scandal when their corruption reached new heights vis a vis Susan Rice, all shit hits the fan and they are now preparing for war, all of them, and Trump has nowhere to turn to.

It's a fucking neo-con coup, and makes zero sense Assad ordered it.

Also, Bannon moved off NSC and the guy the CIA wanted fired was the mole for the spying on Trump. They are sneaky fucks and Trump does not have the power to do anything about it. AND he is going to lose a third or more of his base if he goes to war, he's fucked.

youtube.com/watch?v=DaLaGHdCQK0 Fantastic video abt western propaganda against Syria.

lol at this

Lol @ being this retarded. You're just like one of those "muh motherland" fags but in reverse.

i said that Russia geo-strategically and militarily is the second most powerful nation on Earth. economics does not disqualify a country from being a super power if its military arsenal and geo-strategic importance is paramount to world conflict-peace. Russia is a military super power, i don't believe you at all that its incapable of hanging with America in a nuclear exchange. I don't believe they haven't been blowing up hospitals and teaching Assad how to torture and i don't believe Putin isn't a gangster kleptocrat. You can shill all you want, it won't change what i've observed

I remember when Russians and tankies laughed at Murica for trying to bomb terrorism and Islamism out of existence with an air war now Russians and tankies support bombing ISIS out of existence.

Isis is just what happens when you completely destroy a fragile state post-colonial state like Iraq and have people flock to the only thing that provides the functions of a state like sunni Islamists.

ISIS will survive since it's an ideology and you can't bomb an ideology out of existence you can only defeat it with a more powerful ideology and education. Mfw ISIS will be a recognized state in ten years with Muh Putin and America recognizing it

Kek they have one outdated carrier that was so shit they gave up on launching off it in Syria. Russia is a mess.
