Haven't heard the full new album yet. Couple of tracks sounded a bit lazy or re-workings of old ideas. My main interest in them is the mix of 80's Manchester/Sheffield/Liverpool period of alt synth bands. There is a clear melancholy to most of their tracks that linger in the mind and actually don't reward too close a listen. It is something far away that promises to reveal itself but never quite does..This is their charm. There is some Psychedelic Furs, Icicle Works and Simple Minds creeping about in there as well. Proper review to follow. My mate likes them cause the lead singer looks like his brother.

Obviously voted Future Islands. Saw them in Paris summer before last by bribing security for held back tickets.

Trump base in full rebellion. Anti-intervention Bannon removal making sense now.

This 'Nicky Haley' seems like the new Trump nutter at the U.N. says U.N. spends too much time worrying about Israel and there shouldn't even be a Palestinian committee. The Trump admin is becoming too target rich for even me to resist. “For too long, the U.N. has been unfairly biased in favour of the Palestinian Authority to the detriment of our allies in Israel,” Haley said. "Going forward, the United States will act, not just talk, in support of our allies." http://www.newsweek.com/trump-un-ambassador-nikki-haley-pledges-end-israel-bashing-575092

I didn't realise this Tillerson geezer was ex-Exxon Mobil. Maybe they will get that pipeline through Syria now.

Kim released that concept album last week. 6hrs of 70's synths and his speeches looped.

I was just thinking Murphy is more likely to score.

Why isn't that nippy player at RB?

Thr3ad title is the wrong way round clowns.

It's funny how all these Syria articles never mention the money and logistics coming from Saudi and the Gulf States, the flow of other support through Turkey and so on....It's very rare where the focus of an article is on Isis logistics and how to stop it.
-
Yeah cause Assad is gagging to get America into the war. Lord.
-
This just means that Russia will expand the S300 and possibly the S400 force in Syria and at some point will shoot down an American missile or plane. They can do it now but probably are shocked by Trumps off the cuff response to a very complex issue.
-
Trump doesn't have the intel and hasn't waited to find out like Obama did. This attack shows that there is no continuity in Trumps thinking. One minute they are talking (last week) about de-escalating in Syria and the next its a cruise missile strike. We'll have to wait till there are experts on the ground who can give provenance to what has happened there. Clear thinking on Syria should mean get Isis out first and then work out what to do with Assad.
-
Trump will lose the next election if he escalates in Syria. It certainly is totally counter to the promises he made to the core support. No more wars and rebuilding America rhetoric will be seen as hollow.

I have no idea I'm not a chem weapons expert. Why would Syria use Chems (and risk bringing America into the war) when they are winning the ground war on 17 fronts?
-
There has been no ground investigation. Like last time during Obama who in his wisdom held off and it was found that the rebels used the chems because it wasn't the type Syria had (we know this because we sold it to them). Mi6 and Porton Down confirmed this. (This is the 5th time I'm having to explain this). Why would Syria use Chems when they are winning the ground war on 17 fronts? ''Obama’s change of mind had its origins at Porton Down, the defence laboratory in Wiltshire. British intelligence had obtained a sample of the sarin used in the 21 August attack and analysis demonstrated that the gas used didn’t match the batches known to exist in the Syrian army’s chemical weapons arsenal. The message that the case against Syria wouldn’t hold up was quickly relayed to the US joint chiefs of staff. The British report heightened doubts inside the Pentagon; the joint chiefs were already preparing to warn Obama that his plans for a far-reaching bomb and missile attack on Syria’s infrastructure could lead to a wider war in the Middle East. As a consequence the American officers delivered a last-minute caution to the president, which, in their view, eventually led to his cancelling the attack.'' ''Last May, more than ten members of the al-Nusra Front were arrested in southern Turkey with what local police told the press were two kilograms of sarin. In a 130-page indictment the group was accused of attempting to purchase fuses, piping for the construction of mortars, and chemical precursors for sarin. Five of those arrested were freed after a brief detention. The others, including the ringleader, Haytham Qassab, for whom the prosecutor requested a prison sentence of 25 years, were released pending trial. In the meantime the Turkish press has been rife with speculation that the Erdoğan administration has been covering up the extent of its involvement with the rebels. In a news conference last summer, Aydin Sezgin, Turkey’s ambassador to Moscow, dismissed the arrests and claimed to reporters that the recovered ‘sarin’ was merely ‘anti-freeze’.'' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v36/n08/seymour-m-hersh/the-red-line-and-the-rat-line

Some stuff was nicked or captured before that happened. Syria has no need at this stage of victory after victory to resort to Chems. It would be sheer idiocy wouldn't it?
-
I ain't googling that bro. You can look it up. The picture is confusing. It might be that a weapons dump was hit that contained some chemical weapons unbeknown to the pilots. This is the current Russian line. Think about it why would Assad use Chems just as he is winning the war and only last week the Trump lot were saying that Assad wasn't there problem etc...? Russia offered another explanation. A spokesman for its Defense Ministry, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, said Syrian warplanes had struck an insurgent storehouse containing toxic substances to be used in chemical weapons.'' https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/04/world/middleeast/syria-gas-attack.html?_r=0

This is a political move by Trump to distract from all the 'friends with Russia' stuff nothing more. There will be consequences that he certainly isn't prepared for.
-
They don't work properly if you drop them from a plane because there is no 'misting'. They don't spread well. That is utter bollocks. Trump has gone off half cocked here and the only people celebrating are the head choppers.
-
Have to agree with Gloom. Very worrying turn of events. No Congress approval and no time given for a fact finding mission to determine the reality on the ground. It's accepted that some of the Jihadi groups have stores of stolen chemical weapons as was revealed in 2016.

5/10 is about right. Think this formula has run its course. -
There is no logic whatsoever that Syria winning against Isis on many fronts would do some kind of half baked chemical attack on civilians and risk drawing America directly into the conflict. Something else is going on here.
