I really wish I hadn't of watched that... Dead kid, weeping family =


F'ing Syrian nationalists... we should send in Delta Force to kick some ****ing ***.

 

i was thinking more along the lines of, in modern terms, i don't think our military would open fire on a group of people protesting in america. i don't know how peaceful those protests in syria were, but i still don't think a massacre like that would fly in the us.

 

Extraordinary rendition isn't "modern" enough for you? We are still doing it...
The real question is, if it did happen, what would/could we do about it? Almost nothing. And it does happen just not in the same way. That richest 1% and Washington's political elite can act with near impunity.

The last time there was a revolution in the US (civil war) millions of people died to forcibly put down the rebellion. Same country as today, same constitution, it could easily happen again.

 

we should put in some of these to automate the sky, and have some AC-130's to rain down lead from the heavens take out everything else.




(Yes, I'm obsessed, but that's 4,800 rounds per min w/ 20mm tungstun High Explosive rounds that are as tall as a crystal geyser bottle!)

And finally, to take care of the snipers and other nationalists: A-10 30mm wrath.

(Pay attention to the second strike, you'll see the impact and then hear the sound of the GAU-8's cannon/destruction)

 

Yeah these governments need to be gotten rid of, but it's just too complicated to fathom it actually occurring. Iran and Syria are ****ed. Most people like me don't know a majority of the people in Iran are and want to be westernized, they just can only do it inside their own homes. They aren't just full of muslim fanatics.

 

Nasty brutality... but in any event, not our business. Every time some person kills their own people the US has to get into the mix... Syrian's killing Syrian's, or Egyptians killing Egyptians, or Saddam killing his own folks has nothing to do with America.

As much as it sucks, America cannot afford to put troops everywhere or shell out the military bill to bombard a side in all countries fighting their own civil wars. Or maybe we will and take over the whole world, who the hell cares.

A battle for humanity is ironic, we let millions starve to death everyday. We could spend that money saving millions of lives from starvation instead a few hundred/thousands from a civil conflict. That's how I look at things.

If you step in, you better go all in, not pick one here or one there.

 

I have have to say... we need to stay the hell out of this.
Yes it's awful, and we need to let Syria handle it's own affairs. As soon as we get involved, the whole operation is perceived in the middle east as US imperialism.

 

Yeah honestly.

 

tenderloin?

 

we got there for the Oil. Africa does this but we dont get involved / care

 

Indeed. That's why France and the EU are all bent out of shape about Libya, but we don't really care. Different nations source their oil from different regions of the world.

 

 

Now I see that your Name fits your point of view. While you seem to be Irrational and like to overexagerate, I understand what you are trying to say.
1- "millions of people" didn't die in the civil war.
2- The civil war happened over 150 years ago, and yes it happened in this country. I can honestly say our country has come a long way since then. And even better you can't compare our country (even 150 years ago) to theirs. This is a region of the world where they still cut people's heads off like it was 2000 years ago. That s**t just would'nt fly here.
3- Having the ***** to step outside your house over there just does'nt compare to walking around the tenderloin (even at 3am)
I could go on and on here. Can terrible stuff happen here? Yes. Can these terrible things be perpetrated by our own goverement? Sure! Just not nearly as often and to the same extent as the middle east.

 

1.) i should have said "a million" not "millions" my mistake. 700k battle deaths + civilian casualties
2.) have we come that far? from a social structural standpoint all we have done is concentrated more power that the top. we also have far less democratic freedom than we did then...
3.) the tenderloin comment was a joke

you still haven't demonstrated that the US Gov't does not/will not skull**** you given the opportunity.

 

Bottom line...
There are probably millions of protests every year, some of those out in front of the White House. Out of all of these protests, THIS KIND OF CRAP DOES NOT HAPPEN! Even when there are protests that turn into riots, cops and/or national gaurdsman are not shooting scores of protesters in the head. Hell even when they use less than lethal weapons, everyone gets in an uproar. Even when protesters may deserve it. I dont remember this happening when Oakland rioted last year, do you. As I said before I am sure you can point out 5 or so instances in the last 150 years that similar things have happened here in this country. But that does not compare to the middle east where this s*** happens every other week. If you really feel that the U.S. Gov't will try to "scull****" you at the first opportunity, maybe you should renounce your citzenship and go try Canada. I hear nothing bad happens there!
