I love how people are going on and on and on about the Syrian thing. Saying it is economic, imperialistic and so forth.
Guys, I hate the bombing as much as the next person but this is the unfortunately reality of the situation:
- Russia attemped an assassination on one of its agents on British soil. It then goes about exclaiming it to be a false flag. This was a nerve gas with civilians involved.
- Russia then decided to go on an all out anti-uk media bash.
- Russia then decided to contribute to Assad's fucked up situation and helped a rebuilt/hidden chemical weapons facility in Damascus kill many innocent civilians. Because Assad is an evil pos and everyone fights over the middle east. Not saying I agree to it, this is just the fact.
- UN hold a meeting.
- UK, US and France are part of the UNSC. Therefore they are considered the security centres (besides Russia and China) in terms of Geopolitics.
- Therefore they decide to destroy said weapons facility. Not only to help Syrians still stuck there (because death from Nerve agent is fucking awful guys.) But to try to prevent an international attack using said agent.
- It was discussed beforehand.
- It was not voted on because this is a foreign affairs issue and should NOT be a result of a referenda jesus.
- Realist political theory states what the west did was not wrong as each state is required to look after itself and those they hold a contract/treaty with. Unfortunately that is not Syria. It is also how geopolitics works so.
But yeah. I hate it, you hate it WE ALL HATE IT but at least try to understand why before shooting off IMPERIALISM etc. Jesus.
