maybe. I was actually referring to "we" as "the West",
FOUL! You don't even play the right kind of football, there's no way we're letting you piggy-back on this one. You redcoats could have fired rockets at Syria any time you wanted. You didn't. So sit on the bench, and shut the fuck up.

If the rebels were the ones who used gas, where did it come from?
This question has already been answered. It wasn't the rebels
Quote:
Tobacco is making me paranoid?
Maybe your house has a gas leak. Have you licked any toads recently?
Quote:
I assume you think that Trump is in bed with Putin.
Definitive evidence that pot affects your brain. You're 180 degrees wrong here my friend.
Quote:
This is a fair comment. Holy fuck.
I must have caught you in between bong rips
Quote:
He cares because it's bad for his approval ratings at home. Right now, he has almost total support, because he's handling the Syria conflict perfectly from the point of view of the Russian people. He's standing up to America, while taking a moral path that protects sovereignty and opposes terrorism.
He can do all those things without Assad. I don't think that an association with someone who would use chemical weapons on his own people is good for Putin's approval rating. I doubt anyone in Russia loves the idea of 8 year olds getting attacked with sarin gas.
Quote:
America, on the other hand, .... supports terrorists who support America's agenda.
How did Israel get into this conversation?
Quote:
We, the West, do not enjoy the public support for our foreign policy that the Russians do. The only people who do actually support the West's aggression are those consumed by the propaganda.
So you're saying that anyone who agrees with the government is brainwashed? Are you "consumed by propaganda" every time you cash your unemployment check?
Quote:
Right. And WHO IS ARMING THE TERRORISTS?
Iran

The rebels have won the hearts and minds? Show me
Ummmmm, have you heard of this thing called ISIS? It's a "state". It's not like the towns they occupy are all soldiers. It's full of families and civilians. There are schools, mosques, garbage men, etc, all rules by ISIS's strict religious law. It's also been extensively reported that ISIS uses alot of its money to pay families of people killed or injured in US drone strikes.
Didn't we just have a major outcry of protest against Trump's travel ban on the basis that it will be used as a recruiting tool by the enemy? I believe some people in this very forum, at the time, were railing against the ban saying it makes it easier to radicalize people.
Now we're saying that they're incapable of influencing public opinion in the territory they control? How high are you right now?
Quote:
America is more than happy to sell, maybe even give, weapons to anyone who supports their foreign policy. I have no reason to think that doesn't include chemical weapons.
That's because you haven't put more than two and a half seconds of drug-addled thought into the question. The fact that chemical weapons are internationally banned and the United States has already eliminated 90% of it's stockpile with the rest to be gone within a decade, seems to have eluded you.
Quote:
What "evidence" can Trump be given that confirms without any doubt who did what?
That's classified. To assume that he has no evidence because he hasn't explicitly stated it, to you, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
Quote:
How is it not reckless to not stop and think "are we being manipulated here?" because that's literally the first thing I would think if I were in his position.
Because the dope resin coating the inside of your skull has made you perpetually paranoid.
Quote:
The speed in which he attacked has now given a great incentive for rebels to attack civilians, blaming Assad in the process, knowing that trump will knee-jerk and bomb strategic positions. Even if Assad did do it, the rebels are now well place to manipulate the shit out of Trump.
It's like you believe Trump is just guessing who did it whenever there is a problem. There are 17 professional intelligence agencies working to secure this information. They have a lot more information than you do on 'planet internet'.
Quote:
Who the fuck is Bannon?
Haven't you heard? He's an adviser to Trump. Or, if you watch CNN, he's the living incarnation of Satan.
Quote:
I have no idea whose decision it could have been if it wasn't his.
Then why speculate?
Quote:
Is he being funded?
He already has 10 billion dollars
Quote:
Is he under duress?
What?
Quote:
Does someone have serious dirt on him?
Not even close to possible. He said "grab 'em by the pussy" and got elected president a month later. He's teflon
Quote:
Or is the position of POTUS a de facto puppet position because the world is run by unknown elites?
Don't you think that if this were true, there'd be a little more order?
Quote:
Fuck knows. I'm leaning the latter, I blame faceless elites.
Smoked yourself retarded
Quote:
It wasn't even that long ago when Bush got expsoed using bullshit to use military force
Inaccurate generalization pounded into your brain by the liberal media. Your susceptibility to this kind of thought control is surprising given your unusually high levels of paranoia and distrust.
Quote:
It's SOP. Do you think that we, the people, ever get told the truth when it comes to the reasons why we're at war?
Just because the Bush administration did a really bad job 'selling' that Iraq/Afghan wars to the public, doesn't mean that it's SOP to lie.

You have way too much faith in the integrity of your own government. Way too much.
Better than being cynical, broke, and unemployed
