Born Hunter 17,798 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 It's not just money though either. The middle east is strategic in foreign policy! Historically it's been where the oil and gas flows from and being able to influence/control that is a massive weapon in war and in peace. I think 'stealing their oil' and 'it's good for the share price' is an over simplification. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan85 722 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well the US racked up 6 trillion dollars debt for war in the middle east, I doubt they've got that back from oil from Iraq Personally I am also 100% against wars in those places, I said from day one it would result in insurgency and I was right. I'm not a peacenik or anything, I 100% support our armed forces but I would prefer they were used for our defence and kept as strong and sharp as possible and not wasted on wars we cannot win. Let's be honest here, do you think they would tell us about any profit they made in Iraq? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silversnake 1,099 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Maybe flasheart can tell me somewhere muslims have integrated successfully into western society. I have yet to hear of one place and I have travelled a little bit and asked many people over the years. I have never wanted to blame islam for troubles but everywhere I have seen islam there has been the same troubles. The troubles are FAR less with any other religious or ethnic group. With such consistency from muslims I want them banned and don't see any other answer. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C556 351 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 In other news, Turkey bombed a YPG HQ. This has caused the Kurdish YPG to halt their advance on the ISIS strongholds of Taqba and Raqqa. There may be a Turkish push on the YPG soon, as they've told the US to get their forces out of the area. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 EXCLUSIVE: The Prime Minister wants approval on bombing missions against Assad's troops as the Government is convinced he is behind a deadly Sarin attack Prime Minister Theresa May wants to call a Commons vote on bombing Syrian President Assad if the Tories get a landslide General Election win. She wants MPs of all parties to approve bombing missions on Syria s troops to stop despot Assads regime launching more gas attacks on civilians. The Daily Mirror can reveal the British Government is now convinced Assads forces were behind the Sarin gas attack which killed men, women and children. May wants the vote approved so Britain can take part in punitive strikes against Russian-backed Syrian forces. A month ago 59 US cruise missiles pulverised a Syrian air base, smashing 20 % of Assads air force just days after the same HQ launched the deadly Sarin attack. A senior Whitehall source said: If you want to stop the use of chemical weapons you have to take out the aircraft. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/theresa-plotting-commons-vote-bombing-10351005 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are not striking Syria, the Russians, Iranians and Turks are already coming to some agreement and that includes no fly zones (ironically) of US and EU aircraft over Northern Syria May and Boris are a pair of globalist shills & will never ever get a vote of mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Seriously what sane person looks at the clusterfuck that is Syria and thinks "Ooh we should get in on that too!" Syria was turned in to a clusterfuck just like Libya and absolutely deliberately, I've posted enough proof in here many times. We are not run by the insane, we are run by absolute madmen and partisan politics from both so called left/right is stopping us from preventing more of this, it is very worrying that normal people who have no understanding of the situation are supporting more war in the ME.
