Good. Then out your money where your mouth is and sign up to go stick it to Assad. I'm sure Al-Queda will greet you as a liberator....
Go **** yourself, *******.

Public Opinion globally. If we can get other nations to see that we are willing to stop chemical weapon usage, that's great. But if we can get the people of the world to see that we're restraining ourselves to find a peaceful resolution instead of another vietnam/iraq, then we've got a HUGE, cost effective win without even firing a shot.
Go **** yourself, *******.
Obviously the government's of the world care.
Putin is doing this to maintain/fight for power and influence. Energy, a friendly middle east government, a Mediterranean port...
I agree on focusing on our own problems. However that only serves so far. Isolationism is not the answer.
Sure they can care. We all care. But to what extent? And who thinks that our cure will be worse than the disease?
I wish it rained candy and doughnuts in N Korea. That doesn't mean we should invade it to "liberate" it's people. Often, our own intervention leads to a worse situation. Just look at Iraq. More people have died and are dying and will die because of our actions than Saddam ever killed.
Good. Then put your money where your mouth is and sign up to go stick it to Assad. I'm sure Al-Queda will greet you as a liberator....
And pay for it yourself. Stop stealing my hard earned taxes (and my children's and grandchildrens) to pay for your cute altruistic endearvors. Fight for freedom with your own life, time, and money.
80+ percent of Americans agree with me btw.![]()
If by "wearing a bindfold" you mean "won't go to the absolute furthest extent any sane person can imagine, and jumping one step past that to find my conclusion", then yes.
Your truth is nothing more than where you want to think. You clearly have the need to think of the US as a mastermind that controls everything through a series of back alley deals. And that's cool, you do that. I'm totally cool with you letting that take you to your grave.
But, before you rattle off about how the US government is working with an Alien species, which explains why we're always one step ahead of everyone else, what's your answer? What do you do in this situation? Where, exactly, do you stand at THIS point. Make it quick and simple, don't give 150 years of psuedo truths and opinion. Don't give me "It's a matter of fact that this guy read some documentation co-authored by a the guy who invented the cuban sandwich at the same hotel Assad and Saddam met at."
You are one of the worlds super powers. The UN has clearly defined a specific type of warfare(chemical) as off limits. Someone in a country is using them. You know for sure the existing government has a stockpile of this technology. NO ONE GIVES A CRAP WHERE IT CAME FROM. You know that this is HUGE and ALL OVER the media.
Oh, great one, praytell! What would you have us do?
We have been working for 50+ years to try and convince others to be Democratic and free.
I don't think we really are having a good influence. If a country wants to be free, then it will choose to be so. If a country wants to be oppressive and obtain chemical weapons, then it will choose so.
Seriously, critical thinking skills here. Lets say we bomb the hell out of Assad. What's stopping him from developing or obtaining these weapons again? If he really wants them he's gonna get them. Your chances of stopping all gun murders in the USA is higher than stopping oppressive ME governments from obtaining weapons and killing each other.
Isolationism is always the answer. And it always will be. Our FF never intended for us to be involved with all these alliances and use our own blood and treasury for these types of Eagle Scout projects.
You talk about countries like they are sentient beings. Countries are all filled with human beings no different than you or me. Well, a little different than you in that they are usually pretty decent people...but pretty close nonetheless.
Our FF also never intended us to allow women and people of color to vote. They actually intended much worse but I don't want to shock you into a heart attack. Just try and digest the suffrage thing first then we can speak more on the intentions of our FF.
