china is only dancing to the gallery for cheap popularity in the world politics and international scene. russia also. world power my foot. when it happens the chinese will only abandoned assad. the russia aswell are very good in moving noise. who can challenge america? no body.

Says who? You seem to forget that Russian foreign policy is largely determined by who is in power at that given time, under medvedev, I agree Russia wouldn't want to stick their heads out to far, probably the way they did Libya, but under Putin? I don't think so.

1 - Russia has already stuck its head out too far already, it would be a total wasted effort to turn back now.

2 - Russia ( especially Putin ) feels betrayed about what happened in Libya, he's going to put his foot down on this one.

3 - Syria is strategic to russia, in the sense that Syria holds the only Russian military base in the Middle East.

As for china, I might agree because for them, economic interest always remain paramount in their decision making.

And FYI russia has moved their battle ships to the Mediterranean already, just monitoring the situation

KwoiZabo: come on shut up. so you want sit tight leaders to keep killing their ppl to the extent of using chemical weapons just because they've chosen to have a say on who rules them. you don't know without the US we would still be having genocide in this present day and time. If u support a military action against Assad's dictarorial regime in Syria plz click like

Another brainwashed sheep been dragged along.

What evidence have you see that indicates Assad used chemical weapons, are the rebels themselves not guilty of war crimes as well?

Yes, global politics affect us directly and i am not novice in global
affairs or its analysis, however, isnt it time that America change its
game plan and approach to the porting of democratic principles and
corporate capitalism around the globe?

Its almost predictable that they willl oust Assad and in the end install
a regime which in few months from now they will decry as human rights
violators. Time after time, go in the history, every regime ever
installed by America has turned out to be a failure and against the
people their crusade is advocaying to save.

How is Syria going to be different from the falsehood of Iraq?[/quote] Thank u my bro for this good analysis. who knows if america is behind boko haram terror campaign!

Don't make it sound like America is God


Russia moving its battle ships to the Mediterranean sea does not imply that Russia will strike American warships in the event that America strikes at Syria. The gesture is mostly symbolic to the Assad regime that he is not alone. The ships are also ready to convey thousands of Russians currently living in Syria back to Russia in the event of a major escalation.

I have said several times, Russia can scream and shout, but they wouldn't risk complete damnation for anyone, much especially for a war torn Syria.

Russian ships in the Mediterranean wouldn't stand in the way should congress vote for a US strike.

Re: Obama Seeks Congress Approval To Strike Syria by Nobody: 12:04pm On Sep 01, 2013
see, people dont know what this war is really about. they think this is about syria and chemical weapons. america NEEDS this war. without this war america as a country is finished. this war is about the american dollar as the reserve currency for oil transactions. if it is removed as the reserve currency for oil transactions america will crumble because the dollar is not backed by anything. it is only backed by being used as a foreign reserve for oil transactions. this is why saddam and ghaddafi were destroyed. they tried rejecting the dollar. well guess who is rejecting the dollar now ? IRAN. so to get to IRAN they have to get syria out of the way. syria is the backdoor to iran. THIS WAR IS NEEDED, AND WILL BE FOUGHT OR ELSE AMERICA AS A COUNTRY WILL DECLINE INTO ANARCHY AND POVERTY IF THEY LET IRAN CONTINUE TO LEAD A GROUP OF NATIONS AWAY FROM THE DOLLAR. IRANS ACTION IS MAKING OTHER NATIONS BRAVE AND THEY CANT HAVE THAT. SO THIS WAR WILL TAKE PLACE OR AMERICA IS FINISHED.

THIS IS NOT A WAR ABOUT CHEMICAL WEAPONS. THIS A WAR TO SAVE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND DOMINANCE IN THE WORLD. OF COURSE SPIRITUALLY THIS IS A WAR TO USHER IN THE KINGDOM

Sure thing!! Russia won't attack american ships, and vice versa, that would be a declaration of war, but what would happen is Russia will scale up its supply of weapons to Assad, which is the same thing America would do if the tables were reversed.

You say it like only Russia and other countries fear damnation, and the US is the all invincible that fears no damnation, are you aware of something called MAD ( mutually assured destruction ) ?

Are you aware that Russia's nuclear arsenal still induces fear into the Americans? Are you aware Russian nuclear stock piles are considerably larger than that of the US, why do you think Obama is so concerned with getting russia to honour the START treaty? Why do you think The US and NAtO are so concerned with planting missile defences in Europe?

However, i agree with you that this conflict isn't going to escalate to that stage, but would destabilise the Middle East and only increase the animosity between the US and Russia.

so you think us can single handedly defeat russia in any one on one way war is a joke! The only thing keeping russia back is that america have a lot of allies. Why has america not intervened in 3 years? The fear of russia, russia is the only country on earth that can take on America. Forget all the propaganda because the US and others know it.

Pls, what did US do when Al bashir of Sudan was killing people in sudan? What did it do during the Myanmar situation? What has it done about the Bush 911 debacle? Just to mention a few. They have been looking for an excuse to enter syria since, now it is chemical weapons. But wait a minute...where's the proof that Assad is the perpetrator? Oh! I forgot! They wouldnt want to compromise their intelligence like someone said here earlier. Same Saddam situation playing out here, falsification of evidence just to prosecute a war. Dont they ever get tired of war? They are just bullies. Picking fights with smaller nations. What have they done about china's cruelty to tibet? Or Israel's to palestine? Always looking for new testing grounds for their new weapons systems. I guess there is a NEW WORLD WAR-DER!

Re: Obama Seeks Congress Approval To Strike Syria by Jomark(m): 12:51pm On Sep 01, 2013
KwoiZabo: liar. what is your proof. what prove does the Assad's regime have that the opposition did that. America have said that its only the regime that has such capabilities and the seven locations have so far been rebel controlled areas. America cannot let out their proof cos it will compromise their intelligence gathering apparatus but I believe when they show it to congress, they'll get approval. meanwhile instead of Russia to join the debate putin just said everything is rubbish.
Once they show the proves to the congress, then it's true. Abi? You dummy pass toy!

True, It's all Politics. China and Russia can't go to War over Syria.

china will not go to war for syria, they are only trying to secure their oil interest in the middleeast.China relies on the bilk of their oil supply from the m/east.Iran will surely go to war because once syria is grounded Iran will be vulnerable and Iran will be loose their access Hizbolla. Russia too will come in to protect their interest.
