    But the United States isn't an empire. We don't need to expand. We don't take land. We bitch smack people, and then leave.

    Perhaps we should change that.

        You know I have come to actually enjoy your internet personality. I hope you are similar in normal life.

        So to be the devil's advocate to your argument with 2 questions.

        You say and imply that the chemical weapons need to be removed at any cost. How do you feel about the United States and great Britain's use of depleted uranium in Iraq? (Recently Isreal used depleted uranium on Syria)

        Depleted Uranium has/is causing hundreds perhaps thousands of birth defects, not to forget that there are thousands of people dying from cancers and that their environment is now a severely toxic wasteland incapable of being cleaned up.

        How is taking a nation's nuclear waste and bombing innocent people somehow acceptable but poison gas is not?

        Just to make my perspective clear : I do not believe in nations or any form of gouvernement. I believe a happy world is one in which all politicians and military commanders have had their necks placed in the yoke of a guillotine. The only side I support in this conflict (and all conflicts) is that of the innocent. I view people that support war, declare war and willing go and fight wars as subhuman cancerous disease.

          They do take land: economically.

            It seems perfectly fine for the U.S to use chemical weapons in Vietnam and Iraq but when other countries do it we need to bomb them back to the stone age. This country is full of ignorant hypocrites.

              i try to stay current. i'm not going to pretend i understand everything i read and know but those links don't prove your comments, which i don't get to begin with.

              because the op thread topic is a bullshit assesment that the "end goal" of obama's is the same as every president before him for the past few presidents- iran, based on a bullshit article that doesn't even remotely report that.

              but that's not enough conjecture for gfy, you have to add to it with hallway chittychat about this big plan to invade 7 nations that not only isn't based in fact, it's not supported by history.

              that's going to get me to reply.

                Wrong.

                By definition, the USA is an empire.

                Wrong.

                Most major countries are securing resources currently for the future. They will be needed and will be what future wars are fought over. As populations rise globally, the demand for those resources become greater.

                Wrong.

                The USA was built on stolen land.

                Wrong again.

                We almost never leave once we invade a country. The "battle" may be over, but we never leave.

                  I'm not trying to persuade you. You're an intelligent dude who will come to his own conclusion when the time comes. I'm just pointing out events that are actually taking place that you were not aware of. Maybe when you have some free time you'll dig into those and get a clearer picture of what is going on there and the set up that's taking place for future conflicts.

                    we'll see. that said, there's no clear picture to be had from reading some internet stories. it takes a lot more than that. but i do have a fundamental understanding of the diplomatic picture between african nations and the usa.

                    but tbh, my goals these days are to stay focused on shooting porn pictures and learning how to play the guitar.

                    i need to do a better job at that.

                        Do we really need another war?
                        Barry got in office because Bush was waging 2 wars and people were sick of it, period!
                        Now those same people want us to attack another country? Fuck You!
                        If we need to send a message fine, park some submarines off the coast and launch a volley of Tomahawks at the presidential palace or where ever Assad lives and vaporize the building. Get good intel to make sure he is there. If we miss, wait for him to stick his head up and make that block of mud huts disappear. But lets not place our servicemen in danger and let's not kill thousands of civilians in the process, OK?
                        Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                        think about that

                              If the USA are after these 7 countries then can someone explain to me what's stopping a Sadam v2 taking advantage of the chaos in Iraq and coming to power ? Same for Libya , Egypt Afghanistan
                              Then it's the same problem all over again
                              It's not as if they are installing their own governments in these countries.

                                  You are more than welcomed. (sincerely)

                                  Listening to politicians has the invariable effect of taking even the most thoughtfully prudent rational individual and turning them into no better than that of a dumb dog that is content to chase it's own tail for amusement.

                                  It is the same arguments, the same excuses and the same head games played over and over again. In layman's terms... They lie and we die.

                                        what we are seeing is a twenty first century colonisation of the middle east by americans or the new jew, the zionist. they learnt it from the british, they didn't know better.

                                            Where is the US "securing resources"? We were just in Iraq, one of the major oil producers in the world, and we just... Left.

                                            Did we steal land from them? Or did a nation rise up around them?

                                            This might be true. We are still in Europe, and still in Japan.

                                            However, seems we have left Iraq (have we fully left yet?) and we plan on leaving Afghanistan.

Get good intel to make sure he is there. If we miss, wait for him to stick his head up and make that block of mud huts disappear. But lets not place our servicemen in danger and let's not kill thousands of civilians in the process, OK?

                                                      I guess what I don't understand is where the line is between humane and inhumane war or weaponry. Chemical warfare killing a bunch of people is some how worse than bombs or guns doing it? Dead is dead. Yes it is sad for children and women to be killed in wars but it is a fact of life and part of EVERY war that has ever happened on earth.

                                                      It baffles me why we need to intervene in a civil war. Has absolutely nothing to do with us beyond our need to sling our huge dick around showing it to a bunch of countries who already think our huge penis size is a facade of days gone by, and they are sadly correct in that thinking.

                                                            I guess you did not watch the congressional hearings. The "plan" is no boots on the ground but Kerry refused to put it in writing because you never know what might happen. "Syria could implode" which would require we enter to secure the WMD's from being used against us or our allies. In other words, we are going in.

                                                              I wouldn't call it cowardness. Since 2001 the US has over run two countries and removed their governments from power, and much more. At the same time, the United States is tired of dedicating it's resources and spending it's money to deal with problems that should be handled by the US.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

The "plan" is no boots on the ground but Kerry refused to put it in writing because you never know what might happen. "Syria could implode" which would require we enter to secure the WMD's from being used against us or our allies. In other words, we are going in.

Since 2001 the US has over run two countries and removed their governments from power, and much more. At the same time, the United States is tired of dedicating it's resources and spending it's money to deal with problems that should be handled by the US. If the a revolution breaks out in Quebec or Mexico City, then we can get involved. Otherwise, this is a Middle Eastern Problem, or even a Russian problem.

                                                                              You say and imply that the chemical weapons need to be removed at any cost. How do you feel about the United States and great Britain's use of depleted uranium in Iraq? (Recently Isreal used depleted uranium on Syria)

                                                                              Depleted Uranium has/is causing hundreds perhaps thousands of birth defects, not to forget that there are thousands of people dying from cancers and that their environment is now a severely toxic wasteland incapable of being cleaned up.

                                                                              How is taking a nation's nuclear waste and bombing innocent people somehow acceptable but poison gas is not?

                                                                              Just to make my perspective clear : I do not believe in nations or any form of gouvernement. I believe a happy world is one in which all politicians and military commanders have had their necks placed in the yoke of a guillotine. The only side I support in this conflict (and all conflicts) is that of the innocent. I view people that support war, declare war and willing go and fight wars as subhuman cancerous disease.
                                                                              IMHO, it's all bad. No one should be using any of it. There should be a global clean up, every country, even the USA, and everyone cleans their act up and gets rid of weapons and agents that can cause long term damage to the unborn and living.

                                                                              They are STILL having birth defects in Vietnam from Agent Orange after all these years, so the long term fallout from any of the stuff used these days is going to be beyond catastrophic. Of course, none of it will make western media, and it will be well hidden from western eyes, but a hell on earth is bring created right now.

                                                                              Originally posted by dyna mo

                                                                              Bombing the depots directly is a really bad idea. I'm sure they have other ways of taking care of them. But I wouldn't support bombing the weapons themselves. The collateral damage, long term and short, would be too great. From what I've read, there are special forces on the ground there from multiple countries, including NATO, so my guess is they are looking for safer alternatives.

                                                                              We have expanded by placing our military in key positions globally, as all Empires before us did. That is what Empires do. We have not "taken" land from these countries, but we do not leave. Gitmo is a prime example of this. The Cubans have never cashed a single check written from the US government for the lease of that land. They want us to go, we refuse.

                                                                              Middle East, Africa, Asia...

US troops are leaving and being replaces by mercenaries, paid for by the US tax payer, costing them somewhere around $3.5 billion a year. However, that hardly gets a blurb of news. All you hear is the US is pulling out as planned, well done, we did it! Nothing could be further from the truth. It's just a pony show to gear up for the next elections so the democrats can claim they ended the war. Ignorant Americans won't know any better and thank them for bringing their boys home.

                                                                              Oh... the best part... For the first time EVER, the mercenaries are being commanded by the State Department.
