When the Obama Administration first started talking up attacking Syria last weekend, the conflict was being sold as a broad-based international action with a large number of supporters, and potentially even a NATO endorsement.
That’s not happening, however. The UN and the Arab League have both come out against the war, Britain’s parliament has forced their government out of the war, and NATO says they’re not even considering involvement.
Instead of an international coalition of the willing, it is increasingly shaping up to be a Franco-American attack on Syria, with overwhelming international opposition.
There are a handful of regional countries that are nominally supportive of the idea of the war, but none of them intend to get involved. Other than France the only country that has even suggested involvement is Denmark, and their tiny military hasn’t been asked in the first place.
RIA Novosti: Worried About Strikes on Syria? Not Really
War
One thing Russia will not do is fight for Syria. Lavrov said it explicitly Monday, and pundits were unequivocal in agreeing he meant it. Like many recent US-led military operations, a strike against Syria simply would not touch enough on Russia’s vital geopolitical interests, leaving Moscow without an incentive to expend the considerable economic and military effort required by overseas military operations, analysts said… http://en.ria.ru/analysis/20130829/183047608/Russ…
RIA Novosti: Russians Don’t Care About Syria – Poll
????However, the number of those supporting a foreign peacekeeping intervention in Syria, like in Libya in 2011 – when NATO forces helped oust longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi – almost doubled to reach 22 percent since a similar poll in March last year. Forty percent opposed a foreign invasion of Syria, and 38 percent were undecided… http://en.ria.ru/russia/20130829/183049404/Russia…
You are forgetting our most "fervent ally in anything resembling killing of Muslim countries" – they are always on board (and behind the scenes, never in front) of any one-sided bombing of civilians – they are, of course, the Zionists.
When even the Brits desert us the question has to be asked: who lost Limeystan?
I live in France and have met nobody who supports this attack. Hollande, the socalled socialist who is as much a Zionist stooge as Sarkozy was, is going ahead (or perhaps not) with no consultation or reason, before the UN inspectors have had a chance. Never is the public's opinion sought, here or in the USA. What a change since 2002-3 and Iraq. When will they ever learn.
Could it be the Nations of the world have looked on when the United States has Cried Wolf Wolf to many times, and they JUST DO NOT BELIEVE IT ANYMORE!
Israel is our "fiend" and ally. With fiends like that, who needs enemies ?
