Have you heard the news, everyone?
The Russians have WON Syria!
No more FSA!
No more ISIS!
No More various other jihadist groups!
No more instability!
Bashar Al Assad can simply take a soothing walk down any street in Syria.


That was quick!
So when are you guys planning your next visit to the previously war torn and unstable Syria?
I'M going to Raqqa!
And I'm gonna make sure I wear a shirt with a big picture of Valdimir Putins face on it so people know I'm a friend.

This. They can continue the war but they will gain nothing.

If 5 years of bombing didn't made them accept Bashar nothing will do.

Well no, because they're been fairly hostile towards us - they're not exactly an ally.

I'm sceptical of your logic because what you're saying is that the UK is far more powerful than I would have guessed. You see the UK has several military bases in foreign countries all over the world. Would you describe Germany as being under British control? Canada? Brunei? Kenya? Bahrain? Qatar?

I don't think so. Your are overblowing the importance of having a military base on foreign soil.
>>
>>56419697

Yes because Saddam regularly killed his citizens.

Isis became a thing because of Al-Queda. You forget that ISIS started in Syria

>>56419650

>>56409665
Putin does not want another Afghanistan proxy war. He severely weakened ISIS/Rebel groups and will continue to provide air support/anti missile shield and control the fat eastern med while letting Assad's forces push the offensive.

This is how REAL leaders conduct war. Not the clusterfuck that is Iraq or Vietnam.
>>
>>56419470
Oh and the Iraq War had no part in the creation of ISIS? Maybe you should read up on its history.

Afghanistan was a terror state and still is. Our funding of the Mujahideen had nothing to do with its prior state hug?

Libya in no way was "European led." America was the first one to strike and we did the majority of the airstrikes. Not only that, we provided almost all the logistics for the operation.

This is like claiming Afghanistan was a NATO operation and therefore not American led.

We voted to remove Gaddadi on the UN security council.

If anything, it was a completely equal operation with equal participants.
>>
>>56419646
>Iraq was stable

So stable that it completely fell apart against 2000+ ISIS militants in less than three years later.
>>
>>56419798
>The group originated as Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad in 1999, which pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda and participated in the Iraqi insurgency following the March 2003 invasion of Iraq by Western forces. Joining other Sunni insurgent groups to form the Mujahideen Shura Council, it proclaimed the formation of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) in October 2006. In August 2011, following the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War, ISI, under the leadership of al-Baghdadi, delegated a mission into Syria, which under the name Jabhat an-Nuṣrah li-Ahli ash-Shām (or al-Nusra Front) established a large presence in Sunni-majority Al-Raqqah, Idlib, Deir ez-Zor, and Aleppo provinces. The merger of ISI with al-Nusra Front to form the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL), as announced in April 2013 by al-Baghdadi, was however rejected by al-Nusra leader al-Julani, and by al-Qaeda leader al-Zawahiri who subsequently cut all ties with ISIL, in February 2014.[3][53][54][55]

Isis would've formed regardless as it is an offshoot of Al-Queda. An organization founded by men who never received money from the U.S.

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan years after the U.S stopped supporting muslim anti communist fighters. The taliban was made by the Pakistani government

Libya was European led. If you remember the news they were talking about how France ran out of missiles and were asking for our help.

>>56419912
Not our fault their government shit all over 40% of their people.

>>56419999
So again it immediately joined up with Al Qaeda and had nothing to do with the Iraq invasion. In fact what you point out is that it formed when Saddam was in power
>>
>>56419762
Why is there no British military base in the United States? We are allies, after all. I mean, having a military base on foreign soil is not all that important, as you put it.

unlike you, I think having a military base on foreign soil is a VERY big deal. It's a projection of force, and ensures that the country being occupied will act according to your interests. There's a reason why the UK never goes against US interests. Oh, and you are not our allies when we can have bases in your country, but you can't have bases in ours; you are our vassals. This is the special relationship that Britain has with the United States.
>>
>>56419822
Agreed, but it's even simpler than that.

The objectives of securing the Assad government's future was completed in Aleppo and Latakia.
Now Putin wants to force Assad to the negotiation table to make peace with the moderates. That way Assad can then focus moreso on ISIS and Al-Nusra.

Continued attacks on the moderates will very likely lead to America under our next president to remove Assad.

I would say that the number of bases definitely relates to the amount of control we still have over the nation. It's a proxy at least. If your nation cannot defend itaelf and therefore relies on foreigners, it is lacking in full sovereignty.

For example, the US military controlled Japan with hundreds of bases and 100,000 soldiers 1945-1952. But the Japanese government technically had legal sovereignty.

Yet anyone with a brain knew that we could overthrow their govenment in a second, and that government always had our forces in mind.
That's why Japan accepted its constitution and Article 5.

Germany is not nearly as indepedent as the UK or France because of the number of forces we have in it.

You're really stupid

Why would we want a British military base in the US? We have a base in Canada to allow the Army enough space to do large-scale exercises - there's simply not enough room in England. We have a base in Central America (Belize) because that's an ally we want to support, we get a jungle warfare training base out of it, and it's easy access to the Caribbean where we have territories and policing responsibilities. What would be the point of a base in the US?

> I think having a military base on foreign soil is a VERY big deal. It's a projection of force, and ensures that the country being occupied will act according to your interests.

This is classic. I suppose you're too arrogant to notice all those times that the UK has acted against US interests. Or maybe too stupid to notice. Having a military base on foreign soil is a useful thing if it fills a purpose. The USAF has bases here in order to project force into eastern Europe. That's the utility - that's why your government pays my government to rent those bases.

If the point of your UK bases was to exercise control over British foreign policy, that has been a really embarrassing failure for your country.

>Germany is not nearly as indepedent as the UK or France because of the number of forces we have in it.

So you have to explain why the Germans didn't support various big US foreign policy decisions such as the Iraq War of 2003. There were almost 55,000 US troops in Germany in 2011, so there would have been even more a decade prior

That's a substantial garrison and yet Germany has not been very supportive on a number of issues, and they've been far more friendly with the Russians than many other European countries. Your theory doesn't hold water.

Regarding Japan,

>That's why Japan accepted its constitution and Article 5.
Article 5? I hope you're not talking about the famous NATO Article 5 because Japan isn't in the North Atlantic.

I think he means article 5 of Japan's constitution which says that they could only have a self defense force. And I think they are getting rid of that

Then why didn't Germany of Japan protect Iraq from us? Why didn't they defend them from the United States, which was clearly the aggressor and acted against international law. You don't think for a moment in that thick head of yours that those military bases had anything to do with that? If Europe and Japan are such good buddies with the Anglosphere, and are absolutely independent, sovereign nations, then why have military bases on their land?

inb4 percieved outside threat
>>
>>56421713
It's Article 9 of Japan's constitution.

From what I understand they're not getting rid of it, they're "reinterpreting" it so they can send their military abroad to assist allies. So they still aren't allowing themselves to unilaterally attack another country, but their military can go fight abroad now, on the offensive

Explain why the territorial integrity of Iraq would be so important to Germany or Japan that they'd go to war to defend it? I don't understand why Iraq should be that important to them.... my point was that the Germans didn't support US foreign policy, which if we follow your logic about military bases they should have done.

Are you this fucking retarded? Where do you think the refugee crisis originated from? They are the direct result of US foreign interventions in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. And if Germany wasn't so utterly under the control of the United States, who never withdrew from Germany after WWII, then maybe they would have done more than just refuse to participate in those illegal invasions.

The refugee crisis happened because Europe won't control it's boarders and won't check to see if they are from Syria or not

Firstly, the EU can and should control its borders better. Then it should have followed the UK's example and picked its refugees from source, accepting as much as it can handle and vetting them. Not some ridiculous open door policy.

Secondly what the fuck are you smoking? You seem to be implying that if it weren't for those military bases, the Germans would have gone to war against the US military to protect Saddam's Iraq. Literally what the fuck? The Germans couldn't even independently project power to Iraq let alone fight the US

>>56422692
Firstly, the United States should never have invaded Iraq and strong-armed other nations into joining or not interfering with its foreign policy of toppling sovereign governments.

There is no second, because there would have been stability in the middle east and no refugee crisis if the first condition was followed.

A democratic government is supposed to act in the will of its people. That's obviously not the case with the UK, because you've been acting in the interest of the United States. And the fact that you see foreign military bases on your soil as posing no threat to your country's sovereignty and Independence shows exactly what an idiot I'm dealing with.
