In this PC world Banker might be a more correct term.
For the other perhaps Israeli Government may be far more accurate.

Sorry Iains you missed my point (or I didn't make it obvious)

I was referring to the wording of the last line of the first paragraph and the opening line of the third paragraph.

Well Raggy this ain't a war about chemical poisoning. Never was, never will be. It is simply a pretext just like germany false flagging in Poland to start WW2 and Russia false flagging Finland to start the Russo finnish was a couple of years later.
This is really a war of geopolitics and maintaining the supremacy of the dollar. Gaddafi wanted a gold backed currency - he went.
China wants oil trade in her own currency.
Iran wants oil trade in euros.
Russia wants to deal in anything but dollars.
Oil underpins the dollar and American hegemony.

Look at the world with this view and all becomes blindingly apparent.
A truth the MSM dare not mention.

Have a nice day!

Theresa May is very likely to make a catastrophic decision, bypassing parliament in order to embroil this country in an unwinnable conflict, which, technically, she is permitted to do. She knows that she will lose any vote of MPs to involve the UK except on extremely restricted and limited grounds. Cameron couldn't do it and Blair did it by lying to parliament. Assad and the Russians are in the ascendancy and the rebels are mostly unsavoury to say the least. Unqualified involvement will have us there for years and it will provoke even more terrorism. Corbyn has done exactly what any responsible opposition leader should be doing, calling for a debate and vote in parliament before any decision is made to get militarily involved. The excuse that it would mean betraying crucial intelligence to MPs is typical bullshit of the sort we've been putting up with in the case of the Salisbury poisoning. The people of this country don't like being lied to and a YouGov poll showed that there is very little appetite in this country for a lethal scrap with Russia.

This is a false equivalence.
Putin has done all the bad things. Trump is just having to react to them.
Whatever you think of Trump, he is just doing what Obama wanted to do when it happened on his watch.

No, I agree Iains, and I think Corbyn is bringing some of that sanity to the situation. We may disagree on politics but, in this situation, I think we agree on outcomes.

Steve,
He's already killed tens of thousands of them as we stood by twiddling our thumbs

Should we have intervened more in that civil war?
Evil as Assad is the opposition appart from the Kurds are at least as bad.

This is about the use of illegal chemical weapons, and using them on civilians.
Obama rightly made it a red line. Had the US and Britain stood by him we would probably not be in this situation now. Our Parliament got it wrong then.

If they suffer no consequences of their crimes they will commit more and worse ones in the days to come.

they surely were made in response to Russia's threat to shoot down any missiles launched at Syria

Errrr, surely, someone made the threat to launch missiles in the first place. Had that threat not been made there would have been no threat to shoot them down.

Always remember though that whoever started it is not as important as who ended it. The bigger man is the one who will make peace.

under that relaxed aura comes the old adage:

Assad deals within his borders. Russia and Iran and Saudi Arabia are dealing outside their borders. None are in meek camp, which begs the question about the soft sell.

The US isn't threatening the Russians, they intend to send a message to Assad that he can't gas his citizens with impunity, that if he does he will pay a price for it. It is the Russians who are threatening the US.

So we have two testosterone-ridden, hubris-laden brain-dead idiots puffing out their chests as they squabble megaphonically over a thug who kills his own people. He's already killed tens of thousands of them as we stood by twiddling our thumbs but there's something about "chemical" that alerts us. Nothing to do with bigging up the attack on Russia over that "chemical" that floored the Salisbury Two, of course. The world has got to stop this insanity. We are in a situation that could get dangerously out of control and we should all turn out to protest against this threat of useless escalation. The only good thing about Trump's smart missiles is that each of them has a higher IQ than him. Theresa May thinks she'll find strength as a poodle. God help us. What I want to know is, once we're all nuked, where will the UK then get its gas from?
