US and British Navy ready to launch first strike on Syria

The world revolves around Oil. One day we will run out. Until then wars being fought over it are a reality but what are you going to say when wars are fought over water?

People have always been fighting over resources. First over land. Now over Oil. Maybe in the future possibly over water

Unlikely that they will attack. Even if they attack theres the russian made anti-Missile system to overcome

True Ignorance.

I hope you know that my statement should not be taken seriously.

I hope Putin doesn't decide to do that as it will cause a backlash from America and boom you've got WW3 within seconds. I'm sure Obama's got drone planes already in the area in the instance Russia decide to block.

The example i can use for this is the Cuban Missile crisis when russia was trying to install a long range missile in cuba but the us threatened war if they did. I think this will be a repeat

The US' main weapon is intimidation. They create this image of a powerful nation able to crumble others with the push of a button. The reality is that they don't want to war (or at least us citizens don't).

At the end of the day, Citizens do not get to choose of they are willing to go to war. That is the type of 'democracy' they want to bring to syria

Ja, Russias out-dated crap.

UK should hurry up with the completion of our 2 new aircraft carriers, just in-case Russia starts whining. =)

Seems a little skimpy? Each aircraft carrier goes with it's own fleet usually 20 ships per aircraft carrier I mean just look at the 5th fleet

[Dillon]

I noticed I made a few errors in my last post, that video is RIMPAC btw but it's just an example in this case. And 20 is a little much (unless during wartime) but I don't see the carrier fleet being counted in that list.

Edit: 20 isn't just ships it counts all of them, submarines destroyers cruisers all of it. Carrier Battle Group

Only 9% wants military action. These guys in Washington, and especially our own President doesn't even listen to us.

[[WS]Jacob]

It's not our war and we don't want war. Yes use of chemical weapons is outragous but should they go against the UN? No. We haven't even seen strong evidence to even point the finger at the responsible party yet. Even US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said "I think the Syrian government used chemical weapons". "I think". You cannot go to war based on something you don't even know the facts about. We've got a failing NHS but yet we can spend millions on a war party with the US and our allies.

[Mikal]

Just get rid of the Syrian Gov and let the rebels take over, so we can finally see some other shit on the news instead of Syria Syria Syria, I honestly couldn't care less as to whether they attack or not, at least all the shit will finally be over, I doubt Russia would do anything, would they really want entire Europe and the US to be pounding down on them? It would probably mark the end of Russia, along with mass casualty on all sides, Russia is all talk no action, and have been for some years now.

I think you're forgetting how powerful Russia really is. Russia has the second strongest military in the world. They're really the only country that could take on the US and it's allies. Not to mention China would side with Russia. China + Russia would give the allies a run for their money and it would be a terrible, terrible war. Really no winner.
