You're welcome. Too big for me but GLWS

On the whole I agree man but this one gets a pass for me. It looks like a rad little machine and has managed to not look like a hybrid like the others

So nice

Is the effect the bombs have on the Syrians and Iraqis they land on not the same?

Being called a cunt on lfgss really shouldn't be something that comes into your head when you enter the polling booth

I don't understand Cameron's drive to bomb Syria - is it peer pressure? I reluctantly accept that military intervention may be something that is necessary (that is, a debate is necessary), but I don't see what good bombing is going to do.

I am a cynic but one reason may be because poll data shows it to be so popular

If my enemy is losing I am winning. In a geopolitical context Britain's 'enemies' are states like Russia, Iran, Syria.

I also don't quite know what type of intervention I would back but am very much in favour of them being downgraded/got rid of. I just have an issue with the publicly stated goal of doing that being out of kilter with the privately stated geopolitical stuff. If it's genuinely about doing away with them then work with who is most able to fight them on the ground (this may include the Syrian state), working with natural allies like Iran, putting real pressure on allies like Turkey to stop enabling them, be alert to the fact that sunnis in the two countries most effected by this are totally unrepresented, don't treat the conflict as another 'sphere' to fuck with Russia and it's interests, and essentially don't use this horrendous tragedy as a means to carve the region into something that policy makers think suits their respective interests. These guys are fucking hideous and I will back any well thought out comprehensive diplomatic as well as military policy that genuinely focuses on getting rid of them, saving lives and increasing regional stability. If that includes British military assets so be it. I haven't seen that plan yet and won't be backing anything that favours zero sum geopolitical gains over these objectives.

Brilliant right. Weirdly I actually like the way it looks

^ yis

Hahaha unfortunately not! I'm going to make a very brief appearance really just the roll out and then I have something I couldn't blag my way out of. I'll be on a dolan. Hope you have a cracking anniversary mass!

Off the top of my head Louise Richardson and Richard English

I'm not sure if they are pro or against intervening in this case but on the specific point I made about kneejerk bombing campaigns they are pretty unequivocal

It's pretty well accepted by serious commentators that bombing by 'great powers' almost always leads to increased recruitment for these sorts of groups. So I guess recruitment would be down? Attacks like Paris are specifically designed to encourage these kinds of kneejerk bombing campaigns which kill civilians and feed the narrative being peddled.
