Could Assad Win?

[Xanixi]

Oh. That's cool.
Just wait 'til we start gifting our missiles around and see how Russia reacts.
Yo, Iraq, want some short-range ballistic missiles? Here ya go!



It would be acceptable to Russia. They don't give a damn; no Russians died.
Syrians died. Too many hits, and Syria might hit back (lolfully) at Israel. Any transgression on Israel causes "DAFUQ" reaction in Washington, who replies. This attracts Russia, who believes it was a setup to become involved and set up a puppet.

Suddenly, proxy warz.



I'd imagine Syria is a bit worse, actually.
Unless, you know, the economic troubles in Greece are equivalent to having a civil war waging all over your country for two years. If it is, what the fuck are the Greeks doing down there?

1. Iraq will only store them, they aren't going to use them against Syria;) Iraq actually supports the Syrian gouverment.

2. Greece is as good as bankrubt, Syria has a war by proxies. After that war (It does matter alot on how long its going to take) the country can be rebuild and the economy can quickly restore. Greece is just screwed with its economy, they will have a bad time for the coming 10/20 years.

Don't you think that us having a few missiles in Iraq would slightly piss off the Russians? I mean, for fucks' sake, they got pissed off back when Europe announced its anti-nuclear ballistic missile defense shield because it "lowered the effectiveness of our nuclear deterrence".

Dafuq, Russiabro.

Also, sauce for the Iraq-supports-Assad thing. Last I heard, they were letting Iran go through its airspace.

You really think Syria is going to be better in 10/20 years?

Greece - in its current position - still has a GDP (PPP) of U$280bn.
Syria - in its current position - has a GDP (PPP) of US$107.6bn.

Greece has a GDP (Nominal) of US$255bn.
Syria has a GDP (Nominal) of US$64bn.

So, no. Syria is not better off than Greece. You have an enormous misinterpretation of just how bad Syria is doing. This isn't something that they're gonna brush off rapidly, especially if the war continues.

One simple thing you forget. Greece has a massive crisis, in wich they will stay for a long time, an economic crisis. Syria has no economic crisis, and for that they can quickly rebuild its economy, unlike Greece...

Holy crap.

Civil wars don't completely obliterate economies!

Please. Greece is bad, yes. Greece is not as bad as Syria.

I'm not supposed to take news seriously?
Well, that's interesting.

Honestly, I do find some news stations are biased. FOX (lol), for example, and ABC as well. But since I also read BBC (which I consider to be neutral), I find it annoying when there are biased news reports. Less-so when they align with my ideology, but still annoy me to a point.

And that's what i mean by don't taking news to seriously, you just need to separate the facts from the propaganda... there is no news without any propaganda.. Besides that, about what you said... the FSA considers Al-Qaeda as an allie, in my eyes that makes them terrorists to.

[East Vlaricstan]

He could win. If the west doesn't get all up in his shit, he should.

I'm not saying that the FSA is right in all aspects. They, like the regime, violate human rights. Politically, however, I would prefer Assad not be in power. I would prefer someone who doesn't shoot at protesters to be in power.

Consider, for a moment, that Hezbollah is with Assad.
And prepare yourself to call Assad a terrorist as well.

And how can a nation whose citizens blow each other up be economically better off than a nation who simply suffered an economic collapse?

[Yorkopolis]

I think he can, now that the government is making a comeback with Hezbollah intervention and all that..

Oh, so seeing nation with destruction all over the places and nation with bankruptcy but still in a normal life, the one with destruction is better?

Syria now only sustain themselves from what Assad controls right now, and his wealth. He feels safe because the Tartus is still intact and Russians still there. They have air force which is enough to control FSA, and take the wealth Syria has to maintained it.

I'd prefer Assad to win.

At least Assad won't behead people for their belief unlike those two jihadists yesterday.
