the Syrian government are informed about the strikes before hand president assad commented on it in a interview .

there is a bit of a "stay out of my way and ill stay out of yours " deal going on with the coalition and the syrian government .

What do you think of the U.S giving air support to Syrian rebels.
[/quote] against ISIS ? im all for it . against the government ? im against it . why ? because alot of Syrian (possibly still a majority ) support Assad . i know a syrian girl who i have on Facebook . she is always posting about the war there and i read the comments alot . and her and all her friends support Assad .

so i think we should stay out of that side of it . getting involved is only going to make it worse and even more people turn on the west .

Another reason we have been reluctant to go for Assad is because the Syrian army is very well equipped in terms of AA . russia has sold syria hundreds of long , medium and short range AA , and SAM’s and not heaps of shit either . while we would certainly deal with them , we WOULD lose aircraft a good few as well in the process.

an official declaration of war was never made during the falklands war . a deceleration of war has to be delivered in writing to a government for it to count

Well, first of all, US has been bombing only Al Nusra and ISIS in support of democratic rebels. As far as I know US hadn’t supported democratic rebels against Assad’s forces.

This is the best map on the internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Syrian_Civil_War_detailed_map

And then there is that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_naval_facility_in_Tartus

That is actually interesting issue.

The German-Czechoslovak war started on 17 September 1938 by official establishment of terrorist SudetenGerman Freikorps and official order to start crossborder operations.

Slovakia also didn’t declare war on Poland, but instead invaded the country alongside Germany on 1 September 1939.

But the best thing ever is Slovakia declaring war on US and UK on 12 December 1941. Can you imagine the meeting of staff in the two countries? I mean, that must have scared them pretty good :smile:

normally there not made . for some time . sort of ruins the surprise aspect of the invasion by declaring war before hand :slight_smile:

[/quote] the hardest part of that war would be finding Slovakia on the map :slight_smile:

lets not get ahead of ourselves here XD

lets rephrase that

#5916

Of course, i merely meant that bombing the Syrian military would be considered an act of war.

Fun fact the U.S in the past 50 years have actually declared war only a few times out of all the countries its invaded.

#5917

The Syrian government is also the main force fighting ISIS at the moment. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if ISIS was controlled by NATO in order to control the region. The public would have no problems sending troops back into the middle east now, if it was to stop ISIS.

#5918

hardly lets be serious here :slight_smile: although some reports are saying turkey is tolerating ISIS because they’re at war with the kurds and turkey is quite happy to help them kill each other .

[/quote] its the only option . we cant defeat them by air power alone . anyone that says we can , doesnt have a clue .

right now i think we are buying time . for us to get all our kit back from Afghanistan . get it all back to tip top shape . and when we are in a stable position go for ISIS . we cant allow them to murder their way across the middle east.

another interesting development is the Taliban turning on ISIS fast . ISIS is trying to set up base in Afghanistan and the Taliban are having none of it . should be interesting to say the least if they go to war with eachother

#5919

It blows my mind that you have such trouble believe governments pull shady shit like that. The Taliban and Al Qaeda were both creations of the CIA, so is it really that stupid to think the same of ISIS.

Rewind two years. The public is sick of war, they want to be done with the middle east. But wait a scary group is now murdering innocents, we need to step in and stop them.

It’s a perfect excuse to back in.

You know the world has gone mad, when you’re rooting for the Taliban. :smile:

A subject that’s actually relative to everyone!

First kindly watch the music video.

Then the rebuttal the musician made to the general responses to that music video.

Then if you have opinions on the matter feel free to share!

not completely true . both were the result of american support to moderate resistance yes . but to say the US created them for some dark plan to invade the east is silly (ohh yay we have found a debate :slight_smile: ) .

they’re the products of a major miscalculation . any attempt to make it seem like that was the CIA’s plan is frankly giving the CIA too much credit :slight_smile: in many ways we could say the same about ISIS yes . id agree . but again i dont believe its a aim for the US government .

just the dick heads in suits seem to think if we make these places lawless everyone is going to suddenly go "come on guys election time " . when instead its more like "im claiming that town " or "remember that Mohamed kid in school that called me fat ? … lets behead him "

indeed haha . could find us giving the Taliban military support :smile: the Taliban are not actually that bad , their conservative Muslims . but not extremists which is why they’re so popular out their . they were also the government of Afghanistan for many years .

the biggest problem in Afghanistan though is thats its tribal . the Taliban mostly come from the south . and they used to fight the northern alliances for control (and they won ) . so in the south the Taliban get huge support but in the north they dont . so what we have is the majority of the Afghan army being people from the north . which means the locals in say helmed hate them . so the locals join the Taliban to kill the army . so its a constant civil war basically .

hardly anyone in the south joins the army and when they do it normally ends in them shooting ISAF troops in the back . same with the local police . they normally all know the local Taliban and tell the Taliban when we have resupplies , what time we go on patrol , what time we change guard etc .

i actually had one instance where a local police officer inside our compound was on the phone and was (we suspected , could not prove it of course ) correcting the taliban motors landing on the compound . so the local police do fuck all and are mostly just spies to put it bluntly :slight_smile:

Yes he has a tendency to cause dissent , but he wasn’t the problem.

People kept going back and forth with circular arguments and someone else who wasn’t even posting flagged someone for the reason of ***“hes really dumb”***.

That thread was troll bait in my opinion.

Hey i was being polite. I didn’t notice any flaming going on, but i haven’t checked it since yesterday. :smile:

#5926

Did it happen to be pengman who flagged the post?

#5927

(some shit about twenty characters)

#5928

Yeah he stopped posting.

#5929

Here I will re-word it in way that’s less complicated to comprehend.

A person was flagged by an individual who was not posting in the thread at all. Not currently nor previously, the individual who made the flag had zero posts in the thread.

Who was it? (20 chars)
