Re: Can Syria avoid sliding into 'catastrophic civil war'?

The scary part is that if any of these rebels somehow steal the governments chemical weapons, they wouldn't hesitate to detonate them in civilian areas and then blame it on the government in order to get outside military support from world powers. As inept and cruel as Assad is these rebels have no incentive to follow any rules, in fact they have every reason to break all the rules to create chaos.

If western powers had an explanation as to why they want Assad out and replace him with a wing of Muslim Brotherhood / "Al-Qaida" then we might be able to explain their blind support for the terrorists errrrrr.... "rebels"

Who told you this, did you get it from the western media or you know him personally to say such things? In fact the majority of Syrian people love him. if someone is law abiding citizen no one would harm him or come close to him as thousands and thousands of Armenians and Christians were living there for so many years. But if someone is a trouble maker, such western agents financed by Saudis, Qataris, Jordanians and Turks (aka US lap dogs) pretending to be rebels, this man would become their worst nightmare. And he has all the right to do so to save his country from these terrorists that are killing innocent citizens including Armenians.

These retards are planning to put 75,000 US troops into Syria to "secure" the chemical weapons... this means that the "rebels" aka terrorists will have a free for all on Syrian citizens while the US troops are occupied toppling Assad's government.

The west is being pretty reckless. They're giving Turkey the green light to hire mercenary armies to destroy Syria and it will probably lead to some aggressive faction gaining power. The 'concern for the Syrian people' is obviously just the typical BS excuse and not even westerners take it seriously.

Just because I'm against the policy of western countries toward Syria doesn't mean I have to idealize Assad. The guy inherited the country like it was a family farm, and he hasn't made any significant reforms despite the fact he has absolute power. The country has resembled a police state for years. He's just another example of someone who was handed everything in life and the only thing he's done is maintain the status quo so he and his inner circle can live a luxurious life. Despite all this I hope he prevails because he faces great evils, namely Turkish-hired mercenaries and pro-Sharia nutbags.

Not at all! Knocking Syria out of Russia and Iran orb works for the West at least in the short term and it stands to gain far more than the Turks, Gulf Arabs and there Israeli cronies. If Assad is ousted, Syria will fragment along sectarian lines and Syria will resemble Waziristan. As the Islamists are real goons.

Syrian Rebels Seize Military Airport; U.N. Warns Toll Nears 70,0000








Syrian rebels have captured a military airport near the restive northern city of Aleppo in their fight against President Bashar al-Assad. The news comes amidst ongoing violence in the capital Damascus, where both sides are fighting for control of key roads. On Tuesday, Navi Pillay, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, said Syrian civilians are paying the price for U.N. Security Council inaction.


Navi Pillay: "The Security Council is at its best when it acts with a unified voice. The lack of consensus on Syria and the resulting inaction has been disastrous, and civilians on all sides have paid the price. We will be judged against the tragedy that has unfolded before our eyes. This Council, as well as those of us in key positions within the U.N., will rightly be asked what we did."

According to Pillay, the death toll from Syria’s nearly two-year-old conflict is likely approaching 70,000.

"Washington has a lot of influence on countries like Qatar, which is reportedly the main source of weapons and support for the Syrian rebels, so they are not absolved from responsibility, Russia’s ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin told RT."

US allies provide Syrian rebels with weapons 'at wink and nod' of Washington – Churkin to RT

Washington has a lot of influence on countries like Qatar, which is reportedly the main source of weapons and support for the Syrian rebels, so they are not absolved from responsibility, Russia’s ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin told RT.

xWith a civil war raging in Syria, French intervention in Mali, the risk of a military strike against Iran and the increased threat of Islamic terrorism in North Africa, the international community is faced with a series of complex challenges that offer no simple solutions.

Ambassador Churkin explained to RT why diplomacy is the only way out of the crises in Syria and Iran, why Mali was a legitimate intervention, and how the rush to unilateral, military action cripples efforts at legitimate, multilateral solutions.
