Listening to the French, UK and USA speaking at the UN this afternoon, it seems pretty likely military action is imminent. 

 

Given theres no government MP’s on the media today I would guess it’s coming tonight.

 

Terrorfying to think that one stray missile could set the hot birds off.

Limited air strikes targeted at chemical facilities. Pretty much the next step in the manual.

Corbyn is quite lucky that there was no parliamentary debate as it means he doesn’t have to look like a pacifist namby pamby.

I think if the Syrians used Chemweps then we should take out their facilities for doing so, but we should absolutely not get dragged into a wider conflict.

 

We will though, because the Tories are fucking insane.

 

Can see Corbyn's point if this inadvertently triggers WW3 as well though. Or if the Russians respond by annihilating civilians.

First of all you can never say never to dark forces getting involved.

 

Its pretty common for SKy to cut an interview short at 5 to and 25 past the hour to get the ad dollars in.

 

As for the attack itself, it allegedly was from a barrel bomb delivered by helicopter. If so and given that the site was encircled Bt Russian and Syrian troops, I think it would be highly unlikely that allied special ops could get a helicopter in.

 

I think you also have to consider Assad’s track record at using chemical weapons on his own people, verified by the UN many times.

 

Given that Trump has just stated he wanted to pull America out, I think it’s more likely that Assad felt he was free again to do what he wanted and get the war wrapped up.

 

Never day never though ;)

It isn’t up to us though. It’s the Russians’ decision.
