most likely chemical weapon attack was false flag, but as far as i know what Assad did with bombing his own people conventionally and suppressing them with violence wherever possible is also not that much better. The right of people to self-determination should be enforced by the international community.
Same way as we should not just close our eyes if someone is beaten next to us, nations should not close their eyes if people in other nations are beaten to death.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination
The right of people to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law (commonly regarded as a jus cogens rule), binding, as such, on the United Nations as authoritative interpretation of the Charter's norms.[1][2] It states that a people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference.[3]
I understand that we should not allow evil bullies, but why us...why not the nations in that area. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, ...even the useless U.N. We may be dragged into another war that was actually started by deep state and globalists who want war.
what is missing is an international force. Currently only Alliances operate, maybe its always like this. Sadly Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran have their own local interests that are not necessarily in the interest of Sunni or Shiite people in the area. The sad thing is, that we even give weapons to Turkey and other Nations involving not necessarily in a good way in the conflict. If you ask me, the conflict seems to be between Shiite and Sunni, between Saudi Arabia and Iran, between Turkey and the Kurds and of course between Russia and US. Lot of conflicts. But if we look closely they all seem to follow the main problem, that self determination of people is not allowed. Current Syria is a mix of mainly three groups of people, that have nothing in common, same as Irak. Kurds should be allowed to be independent, same as Shiite and Sunni. Then US / WEST could defend the Kurds, Iran could defend the Shiite, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey the Sunni.
Yes. Turkey is def not our friend. And Russia wants a strong hold in the region. But it is a trap for us. But we must defend Israel, and these counries are def enemies of Israel.
I would not say that Turkey is not our friend. Out of their point of view they had an military coup who they think America supported. Also they fear the Kurds to have a own state, because they fear, that the Kurds in their country try to be independent too. What is missing is clear international rules and enforcement for the right of self determination.
Turkey is not our friend.
Iraq was our friend, then Iraq was not our friend, now Iraq is our Friend...
I think it's Iraq. And they are not my friend. In fact Muslim countries are not my friend or Americas friend. They hate us, and we use them because they are to backwards and dumb.
