Imminent mistakes in Syria

[eppie]

There's your reason why Russia doesn't want the situation in Syria to end, they're getting paid quite a bit for weapons to the Syrian regime.

Specify Russia. You mean the richies who own arms factories and oil companies in Russia?
Just like the ones that made the US go to war in Iraq. The US didn't get rich from the war in Iraq, on the contrary.
But because of the nice scheme; tax payers money---->government via war in Iraq----->weapons producers/oil companies/contracters etc.. some people made some nice money.

Let's not pretend we are so much better. Point is, that there is not much proof that Assad used chemical weapons. (although I personally believe that he did) It could also have been the others.


I understand the frustration with these conflicts....you see so much injustice and innocent victims and then the big players all start disagreeing because of their interests (financial), but it might also have a good side to it. It might block some ugly war that turns out to be started over fake reasons.
