Best wishes to both nations from an American. We should team up with you. Russia isn't an enemy and Turkey sure isn't a friend. The same terrorists are murdering French, Russians, and Americans. We shouldn't be helping "moderate" rebels. The moderates murdered the Russian pilot while he was parachuting (this is a clear war crime). The immoderate ones captured a Jordanian pilot and burned him alive. The Russian co-pilot was saved (God be praised). Russia and France are killing the terrorists, Turkey is buying stolen oil from them and letting terrorists travel between Europe and Syria to murder people both places. It's like 1942 again except today's Russia is much better than Stalin's USSR was. The terrorists are really really evil people who need to be crushed just like the Nazis were in WWII even if the cost is very high. We need all the help we can get against ISIS and other terrorists. Based on WWII you Russians seem to be good at crushing really really evil people even if the cost is very high.
Putin and Hollande agreed to communicate about territories where there is "a healthy opposition" of Syria, and not to bomb them. ps: Everybody who doesn't want to sit down to a negotiating table with Assad and is ready to continue to hold the weapon, must to be destroyed!
How the 'dynamic duo' ( ) Obama and Cameron must hate Putin for his statesmanship, which is exposing how effing useless they are.
Let's leave Italy a part [being Italian I expected that our leftist government, after great declarations and aggressive statements, would have avoided a direct military involvement in Syria ... Bush persuaded Berlusconi to invest in a modern Navy and in stealth fighter-bombers ... we have been spending mountains of money, training military personnel ... and when it's time to act ... our battle carriers rest in the ports and a leftist Prime Minister prefers to give logistic and intelligence support]. About Cameron, I find it curious that he is still trying and getting a positive vote from the Low Chamber to intervene in Syria. What's breaking the British intervention? Political calculations about what? Eventual problems with Turkey?
Power has made him become a deluded megalomaniac, and he's looking for a 'Margaret Thatcher-like' legacy. I have a message for him - 'Mr Cameron, you're no Margaret Thatcher!'
That's right! There's so much people here who love Russia, the governement just have to follow what does the people thinks. Russia is an European country before all, and we should treat it like a friend
This is mutual. Actually, when a terrorist attack happened in Paris, most of Russians took it very personally, there were huge amount, like a field of flowers near the French embassy in Moscow from normal Russian people.
I saw the same in Belgrade outside the French Embassy, even if the french fries bombed us we at least showed some humanity, something the UK and US should learn. Instead of blabbering about RUSSIA ENEMY RUSSIA ENEMY
Stumbling to War with Russia? by Pat Buchanan http://original.antiwar.com/buchanan/2015/11/26/stumbling-to-war-with-russia/
It's the power that does it - it eventually makes them believe (some of them sooner than others) that they're more intelligent than the rest of us, whom they see as mere life-forms to be ignored with extreme prejudice.
I think the British people want to know exactly who Cameron wants to bomb, remember 2 years ago he was after bombing Assad. Who knows what would be happening in Syria now if he had got his way.
Absolutely, and I've frequently pointed out the same thing myself over the (nearly 3) years - he's completely lost the plot now. He's obviously so out of touch with public opinion that if he had any integrity he'd go to the country.
Yes, Alucard, so you keep saying. We're all for peace not war but unfortunately it isn't always possible to choose.
Well, IMO all of the advanced nations are capable of engaging in conflicts of power with each other without major military battles. Against terrorist groups that insist on bloodletting, though, some military action is necessary.
I don't what action though, military or otherwise - we've never come up against anything like this before.
He can't get the support he needs from Parliament Luke. He keeps trying, but the British people and far too many MP's got badly bitten by the lies told of Tony Blair so he could go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan to please Bush. And they're sick of the perpetual war the neocons keep foisting on everyone too. So Cameron should stay well away from grown up stuff like trying to get Britain involved in Syria -- and stick to ruining everyone's delicate appetites for pig's heads.
And for that we must be eternally grateful. What did we see under Thatcher; record unemployment, record inflation, record interest rates, destruction of our shipbuilding, mining and steel industries, riots protesting the wretched Poll Tax which was to be her downfall, and economic policies which hit the poorest the hardest and rewarded the wealthy. No, Cameron has yet to reach those lofty heights of divisiveness.
Off topic, but at least she gained us some respect in the world. These days we're either a laughing stock, or an object of pity - depends upon which way y'look at it!
No she didn't; the only people she got any respect from were her mates like the equally stupid Reagan. She was the most divisive Prime Minister this country has ever had, and we're still suffering the consequences. As for Britain being a laughing stock to be pitied; who gives a damn? I don't worry about other people's opinions because, as the saying goes, like ********s everybody has one.
