I would say no I have no interest in a 2nd vote the op did hint about running to get money from the banks . Perhaps you didn’t get the sense of humour from my post .
There is little I can do to stop wwIII I’m sure your the same . I’d plan to spend my last moments with my family before the end . |

Is a global war likely? I think it is going on already. Will it change from a proxy war into a direct clash between world powers? History tells us it will. How soon will open hostilities break out? I think very shortly. Will Syria be the flash point? It is possible but I doubt it, I have a nasty feeling our strong and stable leader and her chief diplomat are a lot more likely to bluster their way into starting the conflagration that is looming or maybe CinC 'Bonespurs' Trump may just start it on his southern border. |

I suspect both sides are itching to know and test wether thier misiles can be shot down ?
I suspect a short tit for tat test .
Then possible a Russian strike on us maybe a ship ? To see A. What we do ? And B . To see what the Yanks do ? Answer probably nothing !
And we'll be on our own ! |

"I think we are in the most dangerous times since the Cuban missile incident. The only problem now is we have Putin & Trump - God help the world!"
Yes both egotistical narcissistic personality's.
Either one of them would probably be willing to start a nuclear war rather than back down and talk sense.
Let's hope they see sense. |

As a group of countries led by Westminster in recent years we have got the big de isions wrong
Thatcher
Blair
Cameron
All made huge mistakes that cost many thousands if lives and May does not want yo consult Parliament
Blood lust fueled by power and ego
Who are we kidding with massive armed forces cuts ,1 aircraft carrier presently being sea trialed and an airforce of 12 modern jets
Who thinks we are a world power
To get this wrong sadly I believe will have dark consequence for generations
After 7 years in Syria the country is broken and is sucking us into a WW3
We are doomed I say doomed |

You've said all along that Trump is in Putin's pocket.
If that is the case why is he threatening to launch missile strikes into Syria and stirring up trouble with his Russian friends? |

Yep, and I still believe it. That is why Trump is telling Putin what he intends to do before doing it...
So much for Trumps vaunted use of the element of surprise...
As I have said many times my worry is that Trump and Putin have a pact and have already divided out what ever will be left of Europe after they are finished. Unfortunately I think Trump intends to use the 'special relationship' with us to engineer (at Putin's command) a pan European war with Russia, in which Trump will be as good as his word and refuse to make good on the USA's commitments under Article 5 of the NATO charter.
I also semi expect Trump to make an all out power grab in the USA, suspending Congress and elections in an attempt to set himself up as President for Life.
History is repeating itself yet again I fear, and this whole situation can be attributed to austerity, and thus in the UK to the Eaton posh boy pig fucker and his sidekick Gideon! |

Oil price underpins USA and Russian economics

Now we are supporting the jihadists trying to over throw
This has nothing g to do with right or wrong

President Trump was watching the TV news yesterday morning - presumably, in between the cartoons - when he saw a piece about the belligerent response of a Russian diplomat to a US attack on Syria.
He went to his phone and tweeted a warning to Russia to watch out for his "nice new smart missiles" that would be coming their way soon.
Now, this is the commander in chief of the US military, blurting out to the world - and the "enemy" -beforehand what he intends to do.
I imagine his military advisers had a word, because today he tweeted:
"Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?”
Does anyone really want to get into a war led by this chump?

Is he really trying to take credit for ridding the region of isis?
Im pretty sure the west was doing their best to help them against assad.
It was russia that rid the majority of isis out of the region. |

Indeed!
I believe that was one of the reasons Putin went.
We think Europe had a problem with jihadis migrating to Iraq and Syria?
Tens of thousands went from the Asian provinces of Russia.
The west, by contrast, was shipping arms to the jihadis among others.

It would seem every centrist on these forums who constantly find anything and everything to hate trump about (for which there's many) can't wait to fall over themselves wanking when he starts bombing people and better still starting third world wars, the bigger the war the more they jerk off on some sort of moral comeuppance. |

So france has proof that it was 100% assad that used chem weapons last week.
So come on then show the world this proof you have seeing as your potential about to blow this conflict up into possibly a ww3 scenerio.
And it better be 100% accurate and indisputable proof and not fabricated planted evidance or else shut the f up.
These world leaders making decisions that Will cost many thousands maybe hundreds of thousands or even millions of peoples lifes and they are doing it as if its just a simple game of risk (an old board game for those that may not know).
Very scary and frustrating times. |

I suspect your Right !
We could end up on our own here !
Trump won't care !
Also for all the morality talk ?
If Russia said they had done the strike and the Yanks did nothing , we wouldn't either !
If we decide to strike and the Yanks change thier minds would we go it alone ?
If not what excuse ? |

I am pretty sure he would bomb assad and Putin.
Trump has god on his side and the UK and the French .It's strange that those on the right who accuse the left of being snowflakes and soft on justice would be acting like snowflakes when the going gets tough against Putin and Assad. |

"So Cameron engineered all this with his austerity measures?"
I do not know if the pig fucker deliberately initiated his ideological austerity program with prior intent to move the country further to the political extremes and to popularise nationalism or if he just saw the global financial crash as an opportunity to shrink government and pass wealth from the nation to his rich posh boy chums. All I know is that throughout history the use of austerity and cutting living standards of the general population has lead to xenophobia, the emergence of authoritarian 'strongman' (and now women) nationalist leaders and dictators who all tend to use repression of their own population, isolationism and war as tools of government. This does not happen over night, last time it took 10 years from the Wall St. crash of 29 and the commencement of open hostilities between the great powers of the day. Like it or not, this is where we are on the brink of now. Even the timescale, most of the players and rhetoric and world politics are similar.
But what do I know about it, I am sure there are many here who know I am totally wrong and that the pig fucker (along with his faithful lapdog Gideon) is in no way to blame for where our country is today and definitely has had no part in shaping European and world politics over the last 8 years. |

Austerity is an ideology. Class war in reverse. Shrinking the state and redistributing public funds to the well-off via lower tax.
Re Jesus and God, the last to cite such beings was George W. Bush, who said god told him to invade Iraq.
Let's have some evidential and reasoned judgements please, not ones from the voices in your head. |

Lol, your little conspiracy theory has already gone up in smoke Will, after Trump's last tweet that missiles may come soon, or maybe not so soon and could come anytime, the Russian's are confused as fuck. So much for giving them early warning and losing the element of surprise. The BBC correspondent in Moscow reported on a live news reading in Russia when Trump's tweet came out, he said the Russians really don't know what to make of it? They are thinking will an attack from the US come soon, or later, or maybe not at all??? They really don't know and Trump has completely bamboozled them with these tweets.  |

.....and events move on. Events have moved on since you posted what you posted which have proved what you posted to be wrong. But by all means continue to live in denial if you like, doesn't bother me either way. Try keeping up on current events, I suggest you turn on the news and see what's being reported from within Russia. |

Cabinet ministers have agreed "on the need to take action" in Syria to "deter the further use of chemical weapons", Downing Street has said.
Ministers at a cabinet meeting said it was "highly likely" the Assad regime was responsible for a suspected chemical attack.
They agreed that the use of chemical weapons must not "go unchallenged".
But Transport Minister Jo Johnson later stressed: "There has been no decision to take military action at this point."
No details of UK involvement in any military action in Syria were mentioned in the Downing Street statement.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has accused the government of "waiting for instructions" from US President Donald Trump and said military action was unlikely to solve the situation in Syria.
He said: "More bombing, more killing, more war will not save life. It will just take more lives and spawn the war elsewhere." He then pulled out his whit flag which he intends to take with him today in Parliment

Now who was it said "jaw, jaw, not war, war."
One would have thought that by now you would have worked out that having warmongering politicians is not good for either regional stability or the security of the British population. But hey, Trump and the Maybot are having difficulties at home so killing some johnny foreigners in another war will make for a nice distraction (and justify giving their mates billions more out of the public purse). |

The Americans are right to be wary of the Russian S 400 anti missile system,but the Russians are estimated to have only around 60 deployed, protecting their airbases. The delay by America and her allies is so the right military assets can be deployed for a real show of force. |

In 2002 the US of A yeehaw, ran a military exercise at a full scale war against Iran.
They used a retired 3 star old school general to run the Iranian side using Iranian technology
Guess who won? Not only did he win but he completely annihilated the US of A yeehaw in 48 hours.
I wouldn't put all your eggs in American technology |

Bob, you say the left are weak and you call people on here weak.
Well I'm not weak, I'm sceptical, mainly due to the crap fed to us over iraq, Afghanistan etc.
Wheres your sympathy for the countless thousands of dead children in iraq Afghanistan killed by the coalition?

I just read an article on the BBC feed - they interviewed an ex Lt Gen Russian Army who states that Russian forces are at the moment inferior to the west. Should conflict break out and Russia is losing, Putin will press the nuclear button rather than suffer defeat! He says that war between the US & Russia is inevitable and it will be nuclear. Scary. |

That's assuming that the Russian people will let it get that far.
Russia relies on exports of natural resources for its economy and the powerful businesses would probably get rid of Putin before it gets that far.
Besides Putin himself although already a very rich man would have to think carefully before using the final option.
Are we really going to face annihilation because of one man's pride? |

Normally I would agree with you but the two most powerful men in the world are not ordinary individuals. Both have huge egos. Trump and Putin are like children and it can soon get out of hand and beyond control. Time will tell but a Russian general probably knows Putin better than you or I will ever know! |

Normally I would agree with you but the two most powerful men in the world are not ordinary individuals. Both have huge egos. Trump and Putin are like children and it can soon get out of hand and beyond control. Time will tell but a Russian general probably knows Putin better than you or I will ever know!"
Exactly my point, the military experts behind these two egomaniacs hopefully have a back up plan to prevent ego's causing thermonuclear global war.
Putin himself is before being a business man and politician was a soldier and a warrior.
Let's hope his brain isn't still in attack mode.
It's an extremely scary time in our history and one which could prove the outcome of the human species and all life on the planet.
I mean how dare they, the arrogance and ego's. Billions of years of evolution,a unique planet in our galaxy all potentially wiped out due to the ego's of two spoilt brats.

There are no simple solutions to complex problems.
Please remember that there are three main conflicts in Syria, a civil war, Kurdish independence and Daesh.
The Russians and Iranians are supporting Assad against Daesh since they are frightened of it spreading into their own countries. This fight against Daesh is also being supported by the Western powers.
The Russians and Iranians are also supporting Assad in the civil war.
As for the Kurds well they have carved out a territory having defeated Daesh within their area and will no doubt be attached by the Assad regime once Daesh have been defeated. The Turks are also interested in this new state...
Hezbollah are in effect proxy Iranian troops and are also attempting, with Syria, to destabilise the Lebanon as they have been doing for more than forty years. Syria wants the Lebanon reincorporated into Greater Syria. This situation is not helped by the 1.5 million Syrian refugees in the Lebanon.
Israel is meanwhile concerned about Hezbollah and its impact on the Palestinian state, remember that Palestinians made up of Jews, Christians and Muslims.
And that is a grisly simplified version of the situation. We always joked that two Lebanese would form three political parties, have the civil wars and enough conspiracy theories to fill every library in the world. |
