Syria

[Anny Road]

This could just be the match. Syria seem short on Islamic allies though as consequently Israel has not been dragged in. The minute they are I'm on the boat to Shetland.

Hahaha, yeah.

 

Syria's long-medium range ground based air defence goes sentient on 27th June.

If it begins to learn at a geometric rate, we're fucked.

I see we're about to arm some Syrian rebels. I'd like to think we won't arm the Al-Qaeda backed rebels, but history tells me that may be wishful thinking.

 

However it does look like Syrian ally, Putin, has had enough, and is continuing with the delivery of some surface-to-air missiles that'll put pay to any prospect of a no-fly zone. Syria, meanwhile, is starting to look like Skaro during the Kaled/Thal conflict.

It's like October 1124 all over again

 

Well not really as Baldwin was the one doing the siege but close enough

Wonder if it's because the Russians pulled out? I presume they have.

[Strontium]

600,000 people dead in this conflict so far.

[SasaS]

Russians are still in Syria.

Same shit, different year.

 They've taken homs (tee hee) now the road to Damascus is paved with bad intentions. Russians have fucked off.

 

I reckon if Damascus/Assad falls the Russians will use a tactical nuke as a wider warning.

[Bjornebye]

Assad is a maniac and needs a bullet in his head along with Netenyahu, Allsopp and Putin 

[polymerpunkah]

How will you know if your ophthalmologist is actually the former dictator of Syria?

 

He doesn't ask you "which is better, this? or this?", he tells you.

That may be so, but the alternative here appears to ISIS, who are probably worse. At least Assad's forces aren't gearing up in suicide vests to bomb London.

[Bruce Spanner]

He’s apparently landed in Port Sudan, the de facto capital where the government and army control is based in Sudan.

 

Lovely stuff, we sure know how to pick ‘em.

What was the thread we discussed Syria when Assad, Iran and Russia were winning? I tried to find it the other day but couldn't remember.

Afghan and Syrian state troops weren't up to much. Iraq next?

 

 

[SasaS]

Who's going to take over in Iraq?

Well ….. they might need some more freedom soon. It’s all about resources remember so Israel might decide to roll the star spangled carpet out for a full blown war again. 

[Section_31]

Nah oil is so 2010s, it's all about the materials for making electronics now.

[SasaS]

Iran may look back over the past 14 months and feel disappointed with how it eventually panned out.
