I served 8 years as a naval officer including a year in Vietnam during the Tet offensive.
I'm retired now but please believe me, all of you Putin apologists don't understand or appreciate the service of the men and women that allow you to post such idiotic posts.
I don't know what you are smoking, but I don't understand why my post is idiotic. I suggest you read the post I responded to. Russia will veto any UN resolution that proposes the use of force against Syria. You have a problem with that?
I'm inclined to agree with you, but what do you think Russia's reaction will be if we strike without a UN resolution to do so?
I keep wondering if this whole thing is a Russian trap. Putin conceivably can make a statement that Russia will defend it's ally if the West unilaterally attacks Syria without a U.N. resolution (which the West can't get because Russia will veto it.) This would leave Cameron/Obama in a totally untenable position. If "we" attack anyway, then as another poster suggested, Britain loses a ship or two, say, via Russian sub, and THEN what do Cameron/Obama do?
In the only polling I've seen so far (TV) the opinion was running well over 80% that we should stay out of any involvement in Syria.
