Who Flinches First? A Syrian Civil War Sentiment from an insignificant person from Southeast Asia.


  • Syrian Gov't and the Rebels are pointing fingers at each other on who used Chemical Weapons.
  • Syrian Gov't says that the Rebels have everything to gain by using Chemical Weapons.
  • USA wants to punish the Syrian Gov't saying that they killed their own citizens using Chemical Weapons.
  • USA still strongly contemplating on military action vs Syria.
  • Putin orders massive strike against Saudi Arabia if West attacks Syria.
  • The British fails to secure backing from the Parliament for Military Action on Syria.
  • France says it will stand alongside the USA in punishing Syria.

So far, here are the team-ups: 

Team "Leave Syria Alone": Iran, Lebanon's Hezbollah, Russia, China

Team USA-PD: Israel, French, UK(backed out)


Your move Obama, what's it gonna be? You now have the opportunity to start World War 3. But we'll make sure who started it will be well-remembered.


Quotes:

“There are few countries that have the capacity to inflict a sanction by the appropriate means. France is one of them. We are ready. We will decide our position in close liaison with our allies,” - François Hollande, President of France

"Frankly, part of the challenge we end up with here is a lot of people think something should be done but nobody wants to do it." - Barrack Obama, President of the USA

"The British Parliament, reflecting the views of the British people, does not want to see British military action." - David Cameron, British Prime Minister

"A political solution is always the only realistic means to resolve the Syria issue"  - Wang Yi, Chinese Foreign Minister


P.S.

The USA was convinced Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction which prompted the invasion.  After Saddam Hussein was removed from power, no Weapons of Mass Destruction were found.  Is this history repeating itself?
