It is certainly very concerning for myself as a British citizen to hear that British money, time & effort is being spent on "resolving" issues abroad when we have more than enough of our own issues to solve. I am not a pacifist, but I think war should always be the last option: all other avenues should be explored before the road to bloodshed is taken. Moreover, there should always be a clear aim. Far too many times my country has embroiled itself in foreign & even domestic wars with no clear aim & thus it is very difficult to say when that aim has been reached. I don't doubt that Assad is not the most pleasant of people (politicians rarely are, in my experience), but one of many lessons to be learnt from Libya is that it is unwise to assume that your enemy's enemy is your friend. I still remember the desecration of the WWII Commonwealth War Cemetery in Libya by some of the erstwhile rebels after Gaddafi had been murdered. I am not convinced that a British military presence, covert or overt, or indeed any interference from the UK, is going to help anyone.

Wherever there is injustice in the world then you can always trace back to the British. Wherever there is manmade calamity, mass killing and destruction then you can always trace back to the anglo-zionist alliance. This is why the Brits and the Zionists is the perfect match.

Syria is now at full-fledged war to the finish, no surrender ! This is done Western sponsored mercenaries. Arrogant, slimy US-Zionist war-criminals. Death to all American-Zionist traitors and instigators. May they burn in hell for ever. All must support Syria against Western-Zionist aggression. The final war that engulfs the whole world is started.

amusing, listening to the infiltrators and agent provaceteurs come on here and run their mouths, as they do in all the sites. does that mean theyve succeeded in convincing anyone of anything or that theyve taken command of the narrative, pfft. The only lesson here is to continue on, stop for no minutae  give heed to no distractions.In other words " yawn ZZzzzzzzz "
President ASSAD the LEGITIMATE LEADER of the sovereign nation of SYRIA is doing a hell of a job considering the forces arrayed against him.
Fact of the matter is, NATO was stopped with a simple VETO end of story, and since when did that stop the mighty superpower and its NATO cronies??? You pukes do what you want with impunity, answer to noone cause their is no one higher, right. So whats stopping you bloodthirsy pukes???  Thus how to break you

Oh, and another thing. I now see a black flag and when its raised i suspect all your hearts will fall to your stomachs.

A Smith I fear your suggestions will just make all out war more likely whereas if we could get Soros and the CIA to organise one of their "springs" in Israel we could stop International Jewry in London and New York from using the brainwashed Israelis as weapons like they did the Jews in the Holocaust.
We all know what is behind "our" governments spending our scarce money on wars...and it`s NOT in our interests at all....it`s Rothschild financial jiggery pokery that they have got away with for centuries. How will starting a war help the Israelis?
If our governments are so keen on being Friends of Israel let`s overthrow Rothschild and his fascist Likud government and stop the proxy warfare in the Middle East.

If we had real politicians and journalists of integrity these British troops would be called what they are ..mercenaries dying to keep Rothschild and Israel in charge of the world....who have been deceived into believing that they are defending us.

Russian technicians should be actively helping Assad and the Syrian troops to triangulate and pinpoint all enemy communication locations which would invariably be from USA/Israeli/UK Special OPs troops inside Syria directing the massacres of the Syrian women,children along with the IED's used now to target ambulances and journalists.

Russia,China and Iran should FLOOD the Syria border across from Turkey with armed troops to starve access by USA/Israeli hired smugglers bringing in explosives,weapons to the USA/Israeli proxy mercenarys in Syria.

All indications with Turkey Tanks and Troops moving over to the USA/Israeli terrorist base across from the Syrian Border appear to follow a War on Syria has long been planned by USA/Israeli Zionists to take place over the July 4th.- UK Summer Olympics Games so the Zionist media outlet could censor images of USA/Israeli/NATO Warcrimes on the Syrian people with coverage of the Olympic Games to the Western Viewing audience.

Why isn't Russia,China exporting every S-300 anti-aircraft missile battery they can ship to Syria, Iran NOW? Russia and China using Russia's heavy lift (60 ton) military cargo jets should be airlifting 60 ton's of strategic defensive weapons and materials into Syria and Iran in a 24/7 non-stop heavy airlift operation thru July 4th. until the USA/Israeli ordered War on Syria, Iran begins to give their ally's Syria, Iran as best a possibility of surviving as they can.

Where's the Cargo Ships Russia, China? They should be moving in urgency to the Russian Tartis Port in Syria filled with urgent Strategic defensive weapons and equipment.

Ru ssia would lose Trillions in trade and commerce in the Middle East IF Russia loses it's only warm water port and base in the Middle East.

China would lose Trillions in Oil imports to China from Iran, Iraq IF USA/Israel succeeds in destroying Syria, Iran voiding all of China's Oil contracts in Iraq, Iran seriously weakening China for the next CENTURY.

Wake the Hell Up Russia, China the sands of time are rapidly running out for you to begin urgent intervention, flooding supplies and military aid to Syria, Iran.

I hope the Syrian Arab Army finds out exactly where those turkish and bitish devils are and wipes them out completely!! These zionist criminals have no right or business to step foot inside of the Arab country of Syria. Hopefully, Iran and Lebanon send massive reinforcements to Syria immediately!!

I think there is some disinformation here and also a lot of hype. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is just a guy in a London apartment with a mobile phone who says he has contacts in Syria. I think I will wait a while before trusting any of this. IN REPLY: I think you're right Victoria. Both a witty and sound post.
