The operative word here is start.
Obama and his neocon foreign policy advisers are going to meet tomorrow to discuss whether or not they should begin targeting Syrian forces. They will promote this as a cause to end the carnage in Aleppo, which we started and caused by permitting weapons to be moved from Libya to Syria — not to mention the power vacuum caused by a premature exit from Iraq.
Unlike Russia, we’re technically and fundamentally invaders in Syria. Demonizing Assad is pointless, when in fact the alternative is far worse.
Some top officials argue the United States must act more forcefully in Syria or risk losing what influence it still has over moderate rebels and its Arab, Kurdish and Turkish allies in the fight against Islamic State, the officials told Reuters.
One set of options includes direct U.S. military action such as air strikes on Syrian military bases, munitions depots or radar and anti-aircraft bases, said one official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
This official said one danger of such action is that Russian and Syrian forces are often co-mingled, raising the possibility of a direct confrontation with Russia that Obama has been at pains to avoid. U.S. officials said they consider it unlikely that Obama will order U.S. air strikes on Syrian government targets, and they stressed that he may not make any decisions at the planned meeting of his National Security Council.
One alternative, U.S. officials said, is allowing allies to provide U.S.-vetted rebels with more sophisticated weapons, although not shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, which Washington fears could be used against Western airliners.
Sure, this makes plenty of sense. Give these fuckers sophisticated weaponry so that they could wreak havoc with it and install Islamic theocracies. How is this not evident to the pseudo journalists in the media? The rebels are terrorists, plain and simple, allied with Al-nusra aka Al Qaeda.
But Russia hacked John Podesta’s idiotic email box, so that means it’s okay to endanger 7 billion people, including 350m Americans.

lol, stop.
I hope he gets a good night sleep
Bullish for GDX. I just hope to be able to cash my chips when missiles start flying over my head.
BTW, in the last debate neocon Hillary called for a no-fly zone in Syria. The Russians would never stand for that. And Hillary backers want us to believe Trump is the “dangerous” one? Seriously?
I constantly try to make this point with people that go insane about Trump having “the nuclear codes.”
It requires background and independent thought – impossible for most these days. People are very, very lazy.
No Fly Zone = War
i guess russia is pushing it too far , ukraine first , siria now , chinese pacts ..
do you mind 65civil dead a-day for russian bombing ..2000 a month..
shooting bombing hospitals doesnt sound about regular to me..even if there’s suspect it hides and heal some terrorists
it does sound more regular to me to de-institute assad regime really
what’s irregular -very irregular – here is Russia playing world war game , not Usa
you do not put intercontinental nuclear capable missiles at NATO borders as “normal operations”, and do not plan 40MILLIONS people drills
if you do not plan something else
USA falled short in strategy , but putin is preparing it a long time
go look russian media .. to understand what’s going on
How Russia could possibly dare to put its country so close to our military bases!!! This call for war!!! Moar war!!!

Fucking neocons catamites. You are a disgrace to humanity.
are you kidding? USA is reaching too far. Almost every war that was started by USA was started from a lie. Now the govt wants to measure dicks with Russia in Russia’s sandbox. Russia already INSTALLED their people in adjacent gov’ts and USA comes in into those countries, finances “fighters for democracy”, spins the media that installed gov’t is totalitarian, but the rebels are democratic and executes revolutions.
mr vladivod-stocks..
I’m an evil : i take any time the rebels’ front ( actually many syrians are rebels and against assad dictatorship , sorry to inform you).. but i would never take the side of the bombing happening .. they’re bombing everywhere and everyone , to save personal interest ( the regime and Russia’ need to have ports and military bases in the meiterranean area )
there’s NO PLANES bombing the population there , other then Russians and Syrians planes . right ?
and it’s been going on a while .
please go f.off with Ra and your stocks
Optimist, take of your rosy glasses. You can take any front you like, but you will be owned from every direction. “Many” Syrians are rebels and against Assad’s dictatorship” – AND? Who cares? Who said it’s a dictatorship? It’s undeveloped “democracy”! Who said it will be better once Assad is removed? I think we saw what USAs’ installing democracy games can do to a country – read IRAQ. When will you people learn?! USA has a history of this shit, yet you people support this shit time and time again. Bombings will happen once a county (read USA) starts to invade other countries premises (read RUSSIA). USA has no business doing anything there. Period. And WTF does USA know about democracy anyway? Just cause usa calls its state a democracy doesn’t mean it actually is.
you can always try to go and vote in syria .. for assad .. or assad ..
and try to make a business in syria ..
and write something positive about US , in Russia
then you can back and we start retalk democracy , here on internet-usa ( pretty democratic , we’ve never seen or hosted so much multiple profiles of russians as in the last month … nevertheless they’re allowed )
peace
and bombs all through
you have my permit to flat out aleppo , and eventually any syrian rebel .. population too .. i should tell you , their usually not partying and super happy about assad
disclaimer : i bought $LMT..just in case we need to defend ..from that normal routine nuclear weapon they’ve routinely deployed or the routinary new bomber patrols they are exercising around the world lately .or the exotic exercise of 5000 troops in egypt they are going to run in no-time , i am a little late , because couldn’t see this coming . Did i say China and Putin shaked hands twice last month
theres nothing democratic in supporting assad . and i support democracy/revolution if this is the case .
it seems a war between me and you happen .
let’s see what saturday meeting bring on the table .
usual Russian escalation of military power show , to extremes ( they do drills , they manace , the drop plutonium pacts, they instlall plutonium missiles , they bomb cities everyday , mr stocks . no one done it lately , but them .. go look the mess of their propaganda , start from RT.com to get a pleasant us-friendly look ) means they want some concessions .
let’s see what happens saturday .
Syria will be Obama’s Bush’s Iraq.. just one more never ending war crusade.
http://syria.liveuamap.com/ go through what’s happening there
the devastation and civil death toll is by no mean caused by usa ( or any rebel support )
it is just barbarism and bombing , from an allied nation who seek tu estabilish his military force on 2 ports in sirya , and been promoting caos and de-stabilization on his neighborood in many ways lately , medias included
this stuff wouldn’t happen if USA would not finance every damn rebel to overthrow installed govts.
Russia has asked the US’ help to separate rebels from terrorists, so that terrorist can be taken out as agreed at the UN. US has not done so because guess what they are all fucking terrorists and are part and parcel of the West, Israel, Saudis, Qatar and Turkey plans to balkanise Syria, diminish the Shia’s influence in the ME region so that Qatar can sell its gas to Europe, thereby fucking up with Russia’s main source of foreign currency.
Go educate yourself before spewing neocons’ propaganda in here. Fucking dimwit!
i agree.
sorry to not divide terrorists from rebels , as i have an hand in it .I can concede you bombs all the population by the toll of 70death a day .
peace
here educate yourself twat

exactly …
What could go wrong, giving weapons to people we have no control over, I am sure it will work out well for the world.
hey, worked like a charm in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc etc etc
and let’s not forget Syria, possibly the flash point for a coming nuclear winter
dude, put down the bong
Keep up the good work man. These Hillary 0 bots are fucking scary ignorant.
Could not agree more Fly.
Sierra Water
Apparently Russia and US back at negotiating table over Syria. WW3 averted for now.
Amazing how so many red-blooded America first patriots now uncritically accept their news from RT. Including Trump.
amazing the hacking actually works so fast into people .. speaking more generally , many theories are exploring neural nets / articial intelligence , but who knew the brain was so easy hackable .. in did it is
