crazy how all these huge accusations at syria are coming right after a strike on syria! what a coincidence
The legal proceedings around this have been ongoing since July 2016, the evidence was just unsealed today
Wow poor syria being dragged through the mud. All they did was gas thousands of people and murder reporters while trying to cover it up. What's a little ethnic cleansing and democratic suppression, huh?
Yeah man, Syria is such a gentle and progressive place.
And after the US says it's going to withdraw troops. Assad must want Western forces in his country.
> The government has denied targeting them, and President Assad has previously said of Ms Colvin that she had entered the country illegally, had "worked with the terrorists", and was "responsible for everything that befell her". What a raging cunt.
I fear that's changing pretty fucking quickly.
Yea, WORLD, save the accusations for after Syria is done with its genocide.
Easy with the word genocide.
As opposed to accidentally having her assassinated?
Why go easy?
i bet news pieces like this wil pop up more often to ensure support of action against Assad RIGHT ON schedule.
You know, it's almost amazing how you can see propaganda in almost anything but then go and fall for Russian propaganda hook, line, and sinker without fail.
i can say the same about opposite - everyone is incredibly quick to jump to conclusions that are merely accusations just as long as they justify means that keep up naration of "bad guys".
Expectation of your opponent being nationalist is. You think that if i am presenting doubts in narrative that is unfolding novadays where my country is pictured as herald of all things evil i am somehow trying to argue that out of sence of pride for my birthplace? I have no illusions over my goverment's action and i know where we did wrong in history and whose blood we spilled. But this is no justice since our sinful past is used as excuse, as method of attention shift - you can shoot all our goverment if you dare, i personaly was welcoming aftermath of Skripal's ordeal where russian oligarchs lost their money in UK, money mostly stolen, but if you do soo don't forget the mess caused by other geopolitical players and keep a bullet for them too. We are not victims, but western countries no damn heroes too.
Let this guy be an example of how dangerous propaganda and media control can be. He has access to the sum of all human knowledge on the internet, and he still believes in Russian propaganda. He can clearly see that the shit he spews isnt true but he still believes it and even goes as far as believing Russia is a persecuted state. Be careful guys, dont end up like this loser.
I'd recommend watching your tone when having political and social debates. What you have here is an actual insiders perspective outwith our regular news outlets here, a really valuable tool for unbiased information and opinions coming to you from both sides. Instead you would prefer to ridicule and reject any notion that conflicts the information you are getting from your particular side of the pond. In fact I've noticed you really are absolutely terrible at discussing things here based on politics and you are about as closed minded as they come, falling on insults instead of open debate with someone you disagree with.
The difference between what you do and what others do is that there's plenty of actual evidence behind the claims they tend to make, ranging from historical precedent to actual physical evidence. The claims you make are just claims with no actual evidence made by a government who has a history of trying to deflect from their culpability in the current situation. So you're either contrarian for the sake of it, and thus appear to fall for blatant propaganda, or you legitimately believe the shit you claim, and thus actually fall for propaganda. Neither outcome reflects very well on you. Hence why you're a total joke with no real reputation in this community at this point.
Bad reading? I mean, I know there is a huge circlejerk about how Kari is a paid putin shill/troll/bot, but that's a very easy way to just create an echo chamber for yourself. Just pretend that opponent is being paid to post something like this, and you can safely ignore everything he said. At that point, Polidicks is no better than Reddit's The_Donald and WorldNews. No discussion, no attempts to understand what really happens. Just a huge shitfest.
Me disregsrding your conspiracy theories isnt me being closed minded. Im always open to other perspectives and opinions as long as theyre backed up with reason or evidence. Your posts in the other thread were backed up with neither. You were deliberately disregsrding evidence that contradicted your idea of the situation, while at the same time cherry picking lines that backed you up. Thats being purposefully ignorant. I value different opinions and perspectives, but not ones that are contrarian for the sole sake of being contrarian
Dude, where a fuck i even denied anything in regard to litvinenko? i was not even active on forum in those days. You claim to know enough to know what is "typical" for me, but you're just spewing up shitty information for sake of backing up idea that you are following my post with precision, wich is invalid.
No what I'm saying is that there is reason to doubt Assad being the perp for this most recent attack primarily. Which is a notion that my own PM shares, trying to calm your boychild down before he starts sending missiles without knowing that facts, something you have in common with him.
No, thats not what you were saying. You were speculating, without basis, that it was the rebels who carried out the attack. You weren't casting doubt on accusations, you were straight up denying them and coming up with your own conspiracy theories to suit. It's fine to cast doubt until everyone has their ducks in a row over the situation, but its a completely different thing to deny all logic so you can make claims without evidence.
Stop throwing out the term conspiracy theories it's cheap as fuck. Especially when many are calling for unbiased investigations as I am. I have never once said it was the rebels, I have said it can likely be either, multiple times. I just don't understand how you can rationalize this to yourself, it's like hanging a man in a village with rape because he has a history of rape, without doing any investigation. Cool heads prevail, yours is chin deep in the boiling pot.
