View Full Version : Clinton Supporters Itching for War With Russia

It seems like Clinton supporters won't be satisfied until the USA and Russia are in a hot war with one another.

Anyone who wants to take a more diplomatic (sane) approach towards Russia is instantly accused of being some kind of anti-American agent of the Kremlin.

Almost everything bad that happens is attributed to Russia, and almost everything Russia does is vilified regardless of the evidence or logic.

Worst of all, Clinton plans to escalate US involvement in Syria, which is easily the most demented idea to come out of this year's presidential elections, and that's saying something.

What possible good could escalating our involvement in Syria possibly do for the average American? How does replacing Syria's secular government with a motley coalition of Islamic terrorists help America? And is anyone really willing to risk a war with Russia in order to make this happen?

Because make no mistake, that is likely to happen if Syria's secular faction, headed by Assad, is removed from power in Syria by the west.

Apparently, Clinton and her supporters did not learn their lesson from Iraq and Libya?

How many more secular governments do they plan to overthrow and replace with terrorists? Just curious.

This wont cause a war with Russia any more than the US involvement in Afghanistan in the 80's did or the US involvement in central America under Reagan.

Russia doesn't want war and wont go to war over Syria. To suggest Clinton wants war is hyperbole and pretty silly.

No, it's not a strawman.

Clinton's stated policy in regards to Syria is to escalate our involvement there in order to remove Syria's secular faction, headed by Assad, from power. That power vacuum will be filled by a coalition of Islamist rebels, just like it was in Iraq and Libya when their secular governments were overthrown. Russia is allied with Syria's secular faction and is firmly opposed to its removal.

These are all basic facts and logic, really. So what is the purpose or the benefit of escalating in Syria and helping a bunch of terrorists take it over?

We're already in a proxy war with Russia, so we've past the "verge" a while ago.

That's a good analogy. Syria is very close to Russia and is a longstanding ally. Russia has a rational and vested interest in defending the Syrian government. And it was Putin's quick thinking on Assad's chemical weapons that probably averted yet another full-blown war in the ME. I do have to give some credit to Obama for taking that option and suffering the embarrassment of seemingly backing off his red line rhetoric.

We should not have gone to war in Iraq but its ok to go to war in Syria?

If Hillary is elected she will end the unemployment issues in this country the same way FDR did, by going to war with somebody big enough to require the reinstatement of the draft and a massive military build up.

I have yet to see any reason we should help the Syrians in any way, either by giving military aid to the "rebels" or by taking in thousands of refugees. The removal of a strongman in charge of all these factions would be a huge mistake, just as it was in Iraq and Libya.

I've read some stuff about the oil pipeline angle and I wouldn't be surprised if that were an ancillary goal of some sort, but I think the number one goal is the longterm isolation and destabilization of Russia.

Perhaps she has deluded herself into believing that Russia will back down instead of escalating into a hot war with the west. Or perhaps she just does not care because she is a power hungry sociopath. It's hard to know what her real motives are, but there is no question that her words and actions presage increased conflict with Russia, and her supporters seem to have no problem with this escalation. In fact, they seem to welcome it.

Trump is wrong because taunting and gamesmanship is a traditional component of naval and aeronautical dynamics between adversaries. If we blew someone out of the water or sky every time they did something cheeky or slightly confrontational, we'd be downing ships and planes almost every day.

For some reason, neocons like you think extreme aggression and hostility are the only ways to deal with adversarial nations. Neocons seem to be deeply insecure about the world, which is probably why they are always so quick to resort to violence and aggression.

Hostility and aggression can be effective at placating an adversary if they're relatively weak. Putting aside the moral and ethical implications for a moment, the practical ability of a superpower to impose its will on weaker countries is not really in question.

But when it comes to a country like Russia, hostility and aggression simply won't work. If anything, it will increase hostilities and tensions in a vicious cycle of reciprocation and recrimination.

The only way to calm tensions with a country like Russia is to engage them diplomatically and fairly and reach reasonable compromises. This doesn't mean we need to fall in love with them or do whatever they want. It just means we have to recognize that Russia has valid interests and concerns and that it's only rational for them to assert them. It also means we have to being willing to at least entertain the possibility that Russia might be right on occasion and that the US government is not infallible.

How the US Armed-up Syrian Jihadists (https://consortiumnews.com/2016/09/29/how-the-us-armed-up-syrian-jihadists/)

The West blames Russia for the bloody mess in Syria, but U.S. Special Forces saw close up how the chaotic U.S. policy of aiding Syrian jihadists enabled Al Qaeda and ISIS to rip Syria apart, explains ex-British diplomat Alastair Crooke.

By Alastair Crooke

“No one on the ground believes in this mission or this effort”, a former Green Beret writes of America’s covert and clandestine programs to train and arm Syrian insurgents, “they know we are just training the next generation of jihadis, so they are sabotaging it by saying, ‘Fuck it, who cares?’”. “I don’t want to be responsible for Nusra guys saying they were trained by Americans,” the Green Beret added.

In a detailed report, US Special Forces Sabotage White House Policy gone Disastrously Wrong with Covert Ops in Syria, Jack Murphy, himself a former Green Beret (U.S. Special Forces), recounts a former CIA officer having told him how the “the Syria covert action program is [CIA Director John] Brennan’s baby …Brennan was the one who breathed life into the Syrian Task Force … John Brennan loved that regime-change bullshit.”

Clinton supporters want more of this stuff. More arms and money flowing to terrorists in Syria. They have no defense.

Re: Syria~It was said that Assad was so bad to the Syrians that he had to go. So, million and millions of dollars, of our tax moneys, was spent arming the killers we said we were fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and sent them to Syria, under a different name, where they killed, raped and all else the Syrian people while destroying Syria.

And it seems they/we haven't had enough we want to kill more. Syria a sovereign nation, Let's protect Saudi from a law suit while trampling the Syrian nation to death.

We should have an administration that understands this!

Russia is not, should not be, our enemy! The Soviet, our enemy, had the Russian nation and several others captive, the Russian people are free of the monster.

We and the Russians have an enemy who would like to kill us both. Some of Russia's enemy live in Russia, it is the same with us.

A good Russian leader loves Russia~A good American Leader will love America. We don't have to hate and distrust each other. Russia~the former Holy Mother Russia, is moving back to her old self.

Russia could be a important friend.

I've read some stuff about the oil pipeline angle and I wouldn't be surprised if that were an ancillary goal of some sort, but I think the number one goal is the longterm isolation and destabilization of Russia. That has been the centerpiece in the western imperialist agenda since at least the early 1900's in my opinion.

Russia refuses to bow to the globalist who control the West.

Trump is wrong because taunting and gamesmanship is a traditional component of naval and aeronautical dynamics between adversaries. If we blew someone out of the water or sky every time they did something cheeky or slightly confrontational, we'd be downing ships and planes almost every day.

For some reason, neocons like you think extreme aggression and hostility are the only ways to deal with adversarial nations. Neocons seem to be deeply insecure about the world, which is probably why they are always so quick to resort to violence and aggression.

We aren't the one's "taunting"; it happens to be the Iranians. You continue to illustrate that you are incapable of grasping reality.
