It is the act of bombing that makes the West strong. If the West just bombs somebody, then the uppity natives will see the game is up and stop fighting. (This has been shown to be false over the last 14 years, and the results of this error have been shown to be disastrous. But, for the Sun, that appears not to matter.)<br /><br /><br />Guano Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-12918028939864049092015-09-07T08:45:33.023+01:002015-09-07T08:45:33.023+01:00I'd not be so sure.

They're all uppity forrins who need some manners bombing into them. Followed up by a visit from the SAS, or Johnny Gurkha. So what if it doesn't accomplish anything? It'll be great for visuals and we can have some opinion pieces by Andy McNab and we can call anyone we don't like cowards and traitors and...oh, I've just come.

Whenever the "crisis" comes up, Rugman and Hilsum usually manage to get in mention of "Assad regime" and "barrel bombs."<br /><br />Two things here. According to UNHCR, Syrian refugees comprise about 20% of the total number trying to get into Europe. Meanwhile, neither Hilsum, Rugman or Miller have managed a single report on the Saudi Arabian regime and its mass murders of Yemenis with cluster bombs (and other weapons) manufactured in the USA and Europe.<br /><br />Assad is indeed an evil dictator. But so is the Saudi regime and all the other puppet governments in the Gulf propped up by the USA-led West. None of those governments have uttered so much as a word of support, let alone taken any action on, the tragedy of refugees in the region. The only thing they've done is fund and support the ISIS murderers. But not a word on that either from Hilsum and co. The Scum of course just lies its head off, as usual. So does the rest of Brit mainstream media.<br /><br />The REAL target in the Middle East has always been ANY regime that tries to behave independently. We saw and are seeing the same thing in Central and South America and Eastern Europe.<br /><br />Just wait until the same lunatic Western imperialists get started in Africa again.<br /><br />You've seen nothing yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
