Re: Hmm...
Both regimes have ALLWAYS been evil bastards, this however has never stopped us accepting their money, nor taking their help to win political power (and some extra cash)
Err.. Let me fix it for you: ALL regimes have ALLWAYS been evil bastards, this however has never stopped us accepting their money, nor taking their help to win political power (and some extra cash)
If you think that the other participants like the Al Qaeda offshoots on Qatari and Sauid payroll, Turks and their arab puppets, our own puppets from the Iraqi side, Hezbollah, Iran, etc are any better you are very wrong.
The only sympathy we should have in the whole conflict should be with the YPG - the Kurds. They are the ONLY ones that have a value system which is even remotely comparable to ours. Yeah, I know, bad for inter-NATO member relations. Even worse to naso-rectal orientation to our primary gas and oil suppliers and primary Eurofighter shoppers.
