What's going to happen in Syria???

[SMEGMA STENCH]

Well nam they told us they were stopping what....

communism?

If that was actually true then i can almost see helping IF the good side was going to lose for sure . Like take n.korea for instance . I like a crapload of stuff that come out of s.korea . Like samsung . Hundai has all but taken hondas place in the world . And to let scum like n.korea take over a good place that contributes to the world like s.korea... im not down with that . Again maybe let em fight it out but if s korea is going to lose, wipe n. korea from existence and let the south flood in and take it all much to the relief of the n. korea people

The pretense is a lot less loss of life on our end. Stop being ostentatious.

The original point I was responding to was that we should be getting involved in everyone's shit, and my question was what that would have gained us in that situation; his response was a non-sequitur about how the methods were the issue and didn't address the question. Not getting involved in a conflict with a nearly non-existent benefit would have been the pretense on which to lose a lot less life on our end. Not sure how that's ostentatious.

And aside from that, were napalm and agent orange and carpet bombing all that politically correct and handholding?

[DON SVO]

lol, so what do we accomplish if we "win" vietnam without handholding?

If we were allowed to actually fight a war instead of handholding paintball games on our side, then we'd have a LOT shorter and cheaper wars

All of you guys are right. We also should have just stayed out of "everyones shit" for the past 100 years, too. I am quite sure that America as we know it would have become what it has; the world would be so much better off if America would just have done nothing all along!

With a few exceptions, yes, we should have. The Syrians have had this guy in power for decades and obviously a huge part of their population is fine with that. Who are we again to go and tell them what to do in their country? We did the same shit in Iraq by taking out Saddam and how many people died because of it? Those people are best controlled by a brutal dictator because they act like animals.

Vietnam and Bosnia really went places for the American people.

I thought we already had that in the Middle East?




I wish that everyone having to foot the damned bill would. That means all of us.

Amen!

If I have this right, this country is going to shit because we don't want to play world police (yet again) in what amounts to a civil war?

Because people don't care either way. I think we should stay out of everyones shit.

geopolitical unrest in the middle east does have an effect on american lives economically. thats why you should care

Who gives a shit. If you give these dipshits a chance to have a democracy they elect the islamic brotherhood to represent them. Look at what just happened in Egypt. Let them kill each other, as long as the oil flows why should I care?

But for how long? Are we certain we're not going to end up getting dragged into it if it explodes?
