Consolidated Syria Conflict Thread

[Con]

And that's brilliant because who would ever expect the French to attack? That's like saying the Pope is going to invade.  :clap:

Make the Holy Roman Empire Great Again

[Gusington]

At this point the Pope is the only one who has not invaded.

It used to be Afghanistan was," The Graveyard of Empires". How many empires has Syria seen come and go?

Since literally the beginning of human recorded history.

Russian U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia appealed to the United States on Tuesday to "refrain" from any action it might be planning against Syria over a suspected deadly chemical weapons attack.

"The threats you are proffering that you're stating vis-a-vis Syria should make us seriously worried, all of us, because we could find ourselves on the threshold of some very sad and serious events," Nebenzia told U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

"I would once again ask you, once again beseech you, to refrain from the plans that you're currently developing for Syria," he said after the council failed to approve a third draft resolution on chemical weapons attacks in Syria.

Like the UN is going to do anything.

[OJsDad]

I'm guessing most of the UN would cheer is Syria launched a chem attack on Israel. 

[mirth]

And protest when Israel retaliated.
