The G-20 summit has now come and gone, and President Obama’s efforts to gain international support for his planned war on Syria appears to have fallen well short of its goals, with the European Union coming out publicly against the conflict.
Echoing the Russian position, EU officials declared that there was no “military solution” to the ongoing civil war in Syria, and that attacking Syria would not resolve the situation.
Instead, the EU officials say, they want a diplomatic solution negotiated through the United Nations. This would presumably be the Geneva II plan, which the US and Russia were planning over the summer, but which the US has no abandoned in favor of lobbing missiles.
France had been lobbying the European Union to endorse the war, as had British Prime Minister David Cameron, though neither has secured the support of their own parliament for the war, and appear to have faced overwhelming opposition from the rest of the EU.
Europe is not that far from Syria, NATO will defend Turkey, they have too, turkey is one of the NATO member country. What if Syria start attacking turkey? What if USA attacked Syria? what if Syria attacked USA bases in Europe? What if iranians Really get involved and attacked USA bases in UAE among other places, what if russian got involved, after all Russia is closer to Syria then USA is.
Then the of everyone interest in Syrian is shattered by a bomb or a missile, it is stupid to even think that USA will gain anything wanting to punish Syrians for something that is not proven. There is no solution but a political solution to the Syria crises. Two years ago such measure by the Syrian government was introduced, but for Hillary Clinton betting on regime change, such gesture was very hard to swallow, now that Muslim brotherhood is no longer there to help out with a arabic war against another arab nation, than what is the other option that USA or EU got…, nothing but war.., good luck with your stupidity.
French radio is currently trotting out "independent journalists" talking about Saddam, sorry, I meant Assad gassing his own people and What Must Be Done.
In the eyes of their people, the Syrian military has done a most honorable thing by driving back and winning over an invasion of mercenary terrorists hired by Saudi Arabia. So, why would the military do what would destroy that honor and surely cause the West to attack them by sea and air, why would they ever agree to gas their own people? Surely Assad would have been replaced by a military coup d’état if he had ordered the use of deadly chemicals.
