I saw so many similarities, and i asked myself if Americans when watching this compare it to insurgent groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon. or the PLO 'palistinian liberation front"

Do Americans understand they will also consider bombings and assassinations and even suicide bombings when it comes to defending their home land... or do they just laugh at towel heads thinking they are dumbfucks who don't give to shits about their home land

" Red Dawn received mixed reviews, receiving a score of 53% on Rotten Tomatoes.[5] Red Dawn was the 20th highest grossing film of 1984, opening on August 10, 1984 in 1,822 theatres and taking in $8,230,381 on its first weekend. Its box office gross is $38,376,497.[1] "

i was saying shit, it wasnt a commercial failure. made me wanna watch it again, probably tonight.

i think he was more about not being a 'slackjawedfagot', he was into the great men of our civilisation and the ubermencsh nomenclatura, but yeah he had not chance in hollywood, most people dont give a shit. conan is the perfect representation of milius true ideal, of living like a man and being true to yourself, fighting evil and so

And look at how the Russians won the war for him and then when they pulled out and said ok now negotiate peace they refused to and made Putin look like a complete sucker. All the alternatives to helping Assad are horrible, and helping Assad is horrible.

As far as I'm concerned the middle east can go fuck itself, its not a problem we can solve and we shouldn't try to.

>Red Dawn received mixed reviews, receiving a score of 53% on Rotten Tomatoes
It got mixed reception from critics, but was a huge hit with general audiences, becoming an iconic 80s movies like Top Gun or Ferris Bueller, that people remember when thinking back to the decade.

I just think the opening is really well done, and relatable. Kids are sitting in class like any normal day when suddenly armed men start falling out of the sky with parachutes right outside the window. It's very surreal, and who hasn't daydreamed about surviving out in the woods with your closest friends. The second half is really dark. Showing kids make all these tough moral decisions and kill each other for survival is something not that many movies would show, without the deaths feeling cheapened like in Hunger Games.
>>
>>70593637
Man, why are you so angry? If your country is really that shit just go to germany like everyone else.

also Assad is an autocrat because he wields unlimited authority and was not put in power through free and fair elections, additionally he was hand picked as a successor by his father who was also an autocrat. When faced with a movement demanding his resignation he responded with bullets, that is not what a democratically elected president does.
>>
>>70593561
Assad isn't based, but he is a much better option then letting Syria fall into the hands of ISIS/Daesh and the various Western backed rebel groups.

All you would get if he is removed is another location that will be permanently destabilized .

show me proof..

i lived in Lebanon for 4 years anon ive been gone know for a while but i have gone to syria and i have spoken to refugees and ITS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.

I have even spoken to sunnis who hated assad and they regret every fucking moment they protested becasue they know that the american lie of "freedom and liberty" was a lie all along...

They had it all. one of the most stable nations in the middle east but hey if they are a threat to ISRAEL then obviously get the americans to spend money and israel watch your tax money fly...
>>
>>70593719
And you think a "democratically elected president" is even possible in Syria?

How is this democratic government going to hold back ISIS? Also this "democratic government" was caused by Western interference just like in Ukraine. The new government would be doing the same war crimes Assad is right now to hold the state.

How is he not an autocrat? The Syrian Ba'ath party holds elections every 7 years and guess whose name only appears on the ballot? In fact this past election in 2014, for the first time in Syrian history, there was a contested presidential election with two other people appearing on the ballot. They were both Ba'ath approved candidates and Assad "won" with 88 percent of the vote. So right off the bat, his regime has no respect for the democratic process.

Lets see what else... Linked to various human rights abuses not the least of which being war crimes. This all began during the Arab Spring when PEACEFUL protestors called for his resignation, just the same as in the other Arab dictatorships. His crackdown was extremely violent including abductions, torture and imprisonment of dissenters which transformed the civil disobedience into a widespread revolt against what many saw as an illegitimate regime. America no doubt help with its destabilizing of Iraq which allowed jihadist groups to operate and infiltrate but fuck off with this "Assad is just tough leader in tough times". He's a brutal dictator who has no qualms about killing innocent people.

Go ahead, write me off as a Fox News redneck or whatever mental gymnastic you do to protect that fragile ego

Man, why are you so angry?
Yes Im fucking angry.
and no im not a syrian, but im a man who understands politics and atleast knows what is going on in the world before i fucking post shit online.

Im mad because you fucking support the destruction of a stable state in fucking lie of freedom and liberty and then dont expect any consquences and over all that you ameicans take in propaganda off of Fox News and CNN

and the best part is that its all happening in the interest of Israel a country that once tried to back stab USA after being treated like a brother.

That is exactly what America is about though, whatever ideal you think of what America "should be" doesn't exist. They are an expansionist country with many national interests that involve getting just as dirty as Assad

So you can say "fuck the dictator, off with his head" but you'll just be getting another Iraq or Libya, a state that is permanently destabilized by terrorist organisations

You don't understand how Ba'ath "democracy" works do you? A single name appears on the ballot, approved by the Ba'ath party - the same guys who ruled Iraq with Saddam. They also came to power through a coup decades ago so to pretend this is democratic in anyway at all is fucking willfully ignorant at best my man. In fact the 2014 presendtial elections were the first to have more than one presidential candidates... all candidates were selected by the Ba'ath Party however

THERE IS A LOT MORE..

IVE BEEN TO SYRIA YOU DUMB FUCK... so stop arguing and get your ass out of the american propaganda.

>Linked to various human rights abuses not the least of which being war crimes.
what links proof or it didnt happen
they tried to blame him for chemical warfare and it was caught to be a lie and the footage was faked...

Though the smartest tactic he did was he cleared a whole city by dropping flour over it.... those fucking mudslime syrian traitors were so dumb they fled like pussies.

>This all began during the Arab Spring when PEACEFUL protestors

Do you still think that arab spring was good for the middle east... Please stop because you are fucking stupid it was a low key tactic to destablize all the fucking countries tell me one country that has peace after the arab spring.... for christs sake open your eyes and see it was all planned to DESTROY THE MIDDLE EAST.
>including abductions, torture and imprisonment of dissenters

last i remember a whistle blower blower was chased out of the country and traitors to the state deserve to be executed.... those "peacefull rebels were supported by the enemy of syria

Nah, dictator didn't initially have a negative connotation to it. In the Roman empire, it was originally an office that both consuls could nominate someone to fulfill that would posses extralegal abilities including no liability for your actions when in office. Usually it done hastily when an invading army was approaching and required all facet of the bureaucracy focused on handling the threat and it was usually given to generals.

So yeah, you don't really know what you're talking about t b h. Many heroes of Rome are in fact dictators such as cincinnatus and Julius Caesar. There's nothing inherently wrong, least of all within the definition, with a dictator. It becomes a problem because there is no way to keep said power in check

which is the problem with autocratic systems of governance, yeah maybe you get super lucky and actually get a good leader but what do you do when he dies? One party systems tend to select their leaders based on who is the shrewdest operator of party politics, rather than who is actually the best leader, which is how you end up with sociopathic monsters like Stalin in charge of countries.

Yeah I was a little over the top in saying that dictators are by definition evil, but autocracy simply cannot work in the long term.

its part of the constitution. Its the main nationalist party... its how Natinolist socialism works you dumb fuck...

they didnt fuck with anybody so why fuck with them....

also assad was trying to push for more democracy but noticed that america had tried to intervene and blame him for raffiq al harriris death... so he stopped his "damascus spring" [look it up dumb fuck]

listen your at a loss... your talking with a Canadian lebanese who lived in Lebanon for 4 years,,, traveled to syria and spoke with more syrians than you can ever think off PRO AND ANTI Assad.
>>
>>70594680
1984 was actually written as a direct critique of Stalin

George Orwell was a hardcore communist but in the years directly after ww2 as more and more came out about the realities of life in Russia he became increasingly worried about communism's future.

You know your at a total loss so just stop.

and no he didnt use chemical weapons it was just like the WMD's with Saddam.

OOPS we fucked up a whole nation looking for WMD's and now after destablizing everything and letting the taliban loose well guess what we dont care...

>>70594691
LOL

That fucking backpedal

>"B-But okay, so maybe it wasn't r-really democracy.... but they weren't hurting nobody!! In fact, Assad wanted MORE democracy! It was uh... America!"

Also, that means nothing since first of all its purely anecdotal information and secondly you make the assumptiom that by virtue of being a citizen they understand how their government works.

Spoiler Alert: They don't. Most citizens of their respective countries don't understand the first thing about politics or how the government works in their respective country. Your conversations mean absolutely nothing in ant context other than to illustrate and bolste your own feelings.

There really are no similarities.

If this were about mexico and the usa fighting over texas maybe but russia invading the us? No thats entirely different than the situation in the middle east with two factions fighting over land they both got a legit claim to.
>>
>>70594879
this is it? It doesn't seem like you've thought this out very well. Have you ever heard of something called Occam's Razor? It's far more likely that the arab spring was a collective yearning of arabs in repressive states for greater political freedom. There are numerous historical examples of similar things happening.

A prime example here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1848

numerous uprisings across Europe against autocratic regimes that were almost entirely put down violently with next to nothing accomplished
>>
>>70594826
talks about speculations and then makes one about a country he has never set foot in thinking we are all americunts and we dont have classes to understand how our own gov. works....

its a democracy just like your american democracy... only two parties throwing the illusion that they are different in any way... but still lead by the lobbiest...

so instead of the lobbiest its a dictator...

but Assad actually cared and was working for a true democracy and attempted to change his fathers constitution... and there was always a democractic elections.
>>
>>70594947
are you implying there are no allawites in lebanon?
>>
>>70595029
right.. and with western weapons and gear being flooded to these terrorists using "the simplest explanation is often the right one" we can see that it's not a political revolution of arabs but a foreign funded insurgency.
>>
>>70593170
Assad may not be a saint, but he's certainly not as bad as you make him up to be, plus he's the much, MUCH smaller evil in the scenario. Btw, the Russians never pulled out completely and are even coming back stronger.

Ukraine isnt an uprising its an invasion.

>>
>>70595077
I mean, what do you do in Europe/America's place? You just let ISIS steamroll Assad and then let them keep sending terrorists overseas to attack peaceful places like Belgium and France? (France I guess participated in the No Fly Zone over Libya for a while but why fucking Belgium or Japan?)

Do you fund Assad, a dude condemned by human rights groups everywhere for torturing and killing innocent people?

I'm serious, what are they supposed to do? They can't just let the meat grinder keep happening. They continue to outfit the Iraqi government forces and "moderate", western sympathetic rebel groups who promise not to commit war crimes.

Theres nothing short of a full-scale multinational invasion that the US/EU can do short of recognizing ISIS as a state and let it run train on everyone in the middle east like it intends to do

>>70595230
What propaganda? What TV stations did the western powers hijack? What newspapers were foreign owned and pushing against the arab leaders?

you just went from talking about the arab spring as a whole to the syrian civil war, the syrian civil war was an event caused by the arab spring when the syrian government shot its protestors until they eventually started shooting back.

But it's true. In the Soviet movies you often could see say, American spies trying to steal some secret shit, but there was nothing like Red Dawn with heroes fighting and killing American soldiers. This
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089721/ is the closest thing to the Red Dawn, but even in this movies the bad guys are some rogue CIA and military guys who want to start WWIII, and not the US government.
