Word is that Israel is responsible.

5/4/2013 9:36:28 PM

This is probably one of the worst situations in the world right now.

Death squads and chemical weapons.

yeah this is gonna probably escalate things

5/4/2013 9:54:16 PM

The target is supposedly a weapons research center.

Some guy on Reddit is pulling rumors from an Israeli forum (supposedly a reputable aggregated site) that Syria is planning now to declare war. But it could really just be speculation.

5/4/2013 10:19:18 PM

Israel does this sort of thing an arab state will get an excuse to jump in and prop up the syrian regime, not to mention the all the other crazy scenarios

5/4/2013 10:46:35 PM

I shiver just thinking about this.

bye Syria nice knowin ya

5/4/2013 11:02:19 PM

Whatever is left of the Syrian government would be justified to declare war.

But that might be what is needed at this point.

5/4/2013 11:03:04 PM

The bottom line is Israel. 8000 square miles of space. For some reason, we are led to believe that it is important. Iran wants it. We spend billions protecting it. People have been fighting over it for 2000 years. Fucking ridiculous.

Syria is just the best place Iran can send its weapons to in order to put it in the hands of people that hate the government in place in Israel.

Poland was just a place like Syria is just a place. If this turns into Russia/Iran/Syria vs. Israel/U.S., then some shit could escalate. We'd need a significant ally (no Great Britian or Australia-- what can they do?) to better our position, and then hope that China doesn't side with them.

5/5/2013 12:08:22 AM

I wish we'd just get the fuck out of there and let them all focus on killing each other. When the dust settles in a couple years, we can go in and get all the fucking oil we could ever want

5/5/2013 12:16:24 AM

Yeah hate to be cold but the same folks have been fighting over the same land for over 5000 years. Let em kill each other. Israel has been using US support to bludgeon its neighbors and all the Arab countries have such fucked up political setups it's just a mess not worth getting involved in.

5/5/2013 12:23:50 AM

that looks like a pretty large explosion coming from my uninformed perspective. anybody know what kind of weapon might have been used there?

5/5/2013 2:23:28 AM

^There was discussion about if it was a FAE or a MOAB.

5/5/2013 2:37:28 AM

yeah, i'm catching up on the discussion on reddit. here's another video

5/5/2013 2:48:36 AM

Craziness, my Gs. Craziness.

5/5/2013 9:17:27 AM

lo that's not a MOAB

5/5/2013 10:16:16 AM

a JEWAB

5/5/2013 11:47:06 AM

we should come looking for them with hatians.

5/5/2013 1:26:00 PM

rebels are using chemical weapons per UN investigation

5/6/2013 8:10:45 AM

The plot thickens, bros.

and i get the dickens, reminiscing of charles

5/6/2013 11:38:12 AM

though they secretly hate us, south korea, japan, france and the UK could handle the russia, syria and iran trifecta pretty strongly without us commiting another dollar.

it is a good idea to err on the side of caution, but don't fool yourselves.

Well... that doesn't seem like a good sign.

Does it mean the ruling power is clamping down on rebel comm?

5/7/2013 4:41:40 PM

From a tactical perspective, cutting the other sides communication is key.

Thanks Sun Tzu. Brilliant.

5/7/2013 5:22:19 PM

They should have tried the opposite approach and tried to get the rebels addicted to pictures of funny internet cats

5/7/2013 11:53:17 PM

So... We are eating people's hearts now, bros?

boots on the ground


Nah, my bros. I think if the U.S. gets involved, we will be slinging missiles at them from a warship.

8/23/2013 7:04:43 PM

Thought Obama was supposed to wave his magic wand to create world peace?

8/24/2013 6:44:48 PM

He was going to, but since they made the mistake of giving him the Nobel Peace Prize right at the beginning of his first term before he had even picked the wand up, he has been all like, fuck it, I don't need to do shit. (Except give speeches acting like an intellectual)

Damn Assad... may he be treated a 1000 times worse than that one day


[Edited on August 30, 2013 at 10:58 AM. Reason : This is WAY worse than the chemical attack in terms of extent of pain and injuries]

8/30/2013 10:55:52 AM

^ that is fucking awful.

Fucking evil ass people in this world. I don't want America getting involved as we can't afford a war with Russia.

i dont think anyone wants america involved except our war-mongering president

^^ Yeah I don't get it. I expect some of the hard right, very pro-Israel Republicans to support attacking Assad's regime, but not Obama and his ilk. Honestly Obama is starting to go a little rough with a lot of things when you consider Syria, the handling of Benghazi, the IRS bullshit, the Obamacare delays made without Congressional approval, etc. All of these issues have both Dems and Repubs on the same side opposing Obama. Just strange the way his 2nd term is shaking out.

If you haven't noticed yet, the hard right opposes anything Obama. Even if they have to play mental gymnastics to do it.
