    To be honest Olso I find these coments a bit stupid. Now I don't say I fnd most of your posts full of waffel (even though that's what I think). As for the Brexit debate? it's over the best team won, get over it.
    Sadly as I said we have 2-3 on here who stick together and cannot accept anything other than their own agenda. It's sad but you get people like that in life.

    You certainly do get people like that. Never can see the woods for the trees.
    As for the best team winning (another example of immaturity) only time will tell on that one.

    Is anyone else quietly terrified by the prospect of conflict between the US and Russia?

    Yes, but only until we’re all dust...

  8. Absolutely but am pretty confident it won't happen as I genuinely don't think USA is up for it. I still believe there'll be enough people with the sense to talk Trump out of it. I hope so anyway!

    I hope you're right, but it seems like May and Macron are eager to get bombing. What I don't get is how it's supposed to help. Assuming Assad was indeed responsible for a chemical attack, it was just another 50 deaths (albeit in a pretty nasty way) amongst the hundreds of thousands of deaths in the Syrian conflict, including a good few from our own bombs. Nothing can be gained from escalating this.

  10. I agree with most of that but don't think it will develop into a full blown US Russia conflict.

    Ellers answer is the standard response from someone who has
    If Russia retaliates to bombing in Syria and bomb Cyprus as the have threatened to do then it brings more countries into it, Greece, Turkey, UK, EU and Nato.

    Trump is a loose cannon. So long and thanks for all the fish.

    No Russian assets damaged and no Russian personnel injured or killed in the airstrikes (thankfully....?) but Russia has said there will be consequences - very worrying, but hopefully the limited nature of the strikes will curtail a full blown response.

    Not really sure how these strikes will either prevent future use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime or prevent further bloodshed by his forces in the civil war, especially as he is so close to regaining full control of the country.

    Very bizarre. The use of chemical weapons is not good but bullets and bombs also kill but that seems to be ok with some.

    When Theresa May says we will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons does that mean we will tolerate the use of guns and bombs. Hypocrisy at it's highest level.
