Strategic Tea posted:He was about to murder a city filled with his own people tho He wasn't, he was simply retaking another city, like his forces had already done multiple times with no massacres. He had been calling for a cease-fire basically since the uprising began. The rebels rejected this based on their demand that he be immediately removed from power before any negotiations could take place. Whether Qaddafi would've been able to ultimately suppress the revolt is more of an open question, but the casualties from doing so probably would've only been in the hundreds, based on level of restraint his forces had previously demonstrated. He had no plans to commit genocide, and, like I said, had been calling for negotiations the whole time. Libya absolutely was a functional country, albeit a repressive one, and the new civil war they're currently enjoying has been incredibly devastating not only in its human costs, but also in the regression of civil rights. Qaddafi actually maintained a fairly egalitarian society, especially for the neighborhood, and the destabilization has been nothing but bad news for Libyans. But a bunch of chickenhawk Euros and Hillary got to nail his hide to their walls, and crow about what great humanitarians they were for toppling a dictator who was on their side in the war against Islamic terrorism. And it's not like they unleashed a large part of the refugee crisis, as well as a second Libyan civil war with casualties roughly equal to the first. Democracy wins again!

Prorat posted:Dude. Trump voters don't have waifu pillows, they have jobs and pick up trucks and real lives that don't exist on the internet. Ya know, real lives. This is really weird because I don't have a waifu pillow, I have a job, I used to drive a truck but bought a more fuel-efficient sedan when the truck went to poo poo, and I still didn't vote for Trump. uh mostly because Republicans here have been trying to destroy education, civil rights for LGBT people, and also outright ban abortions (which could cause my fiancee to die because there's a good chance she could wind up with an ectopic pregnancy if we don't use alternate methods [that we can't afford because health care lol!]). Like, the Republican party offers me absolutely nothing, regardless of job or whatever, because I'm not rich.

I'm probably the only person on this forum that doesn't particularly oppose my country (  )'s relationship with Saudi Arabia, which is plenty distasteful. But this is not normal. Neither is the use of chemical weapons (which needs to be smacked with a stick from a safe, cruise missile distance by the UN to establish basic discipline).It is surely all FAKE NEWS though right

Blue Train posted:Why is gas any worse than being trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building struck by a drone One has no tactical value other than terrifying anyone that might think of tweeting the president is bad. It's deliberately targeted at any civilians who might be disloyal to dear leader. The other is a way for NATO to kill anyone, civilian or not, that it decides is a threat while saying it hasn't technically deployed anyone anywhere for PR purposes. It hits unrelated civilians by accident all the time.

Strategic Tea posted:I'm probably the only person on this forum that doesn't particularly oppose my country ( That's actually quite normal for a dictatorial regime facing an existential threat. The use of chemical weapons is (mostly) only abnormal because they're generally pretty ineffective vs. conventional weapons, although they do have a certain horror-based utility. The whole purpose of backing Assad would be to bring a quick end to the insurgency, thereby minimizing casualties in the long run. It would have the potential added benefit of more cordial relations with Syria, Russia, and Iran. However, it's generally imprudent to involve yourself in another country's civil war, especially absent any kind of compelling national interest. I'm not sure what FAKE NEWS has to do with any of this, other than as an implicit commentary on your manners. It's conceivable that Assad wasn't responsible for the chemical attack, but I'd need more information to make that kind of determination. In my experience, it's unwise to take governments at their word, and evidence one way or the other would be welcome.

My last nights hot take was wrong, I thought this Syrian nonsense would be (literally) yesterday's news once Gorsuch was confirmed. This is where I laugh at the people who laughed in this thread when Paul Ryan's lovely healthcare didn't even get voted on. (I don't say it failed because it couldn't fail or succeed because it was never real/official) Art of the Deal.
