So Morality takes a back seat until brute force wins.

You stand corrected.


Sometimes, Good people have to do Bad Things, so that the Bad people don't 'win'. Quite the moral quandary.


“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss, The abyss gazes also into you.”

― Friedrich Nietzsche

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

IRA Lover condemns US air strikes

Mr Corbyn said the US should not have acted without United Nations backing.

And how many years does it take to get a UN approval?
There are MANY people dying NOW.

Oh, 59 cruise missiles were launched, and 23 missiles reached their target, the Syrian air base. Very good accuracy! LOL.

It only needs one to hit the target, so your point is?

You don't need nukes to hit Seoul, artillery will do it, only 10 km (6.25 miles) from 38th.

Well Igor:)
Southfront.org is perhaps not the best source of information.
It's a Donbass (eastern Ukraine) "news" outlet.
They write news only approved by Kremlin!

So they knew what the targets were. When is Abu Ivanka going to investigate that leak?

Russia has now dropped the 'anti-confliction' agreement with the U.S., as a result of the latter's attack. This will make it much more difficult to avoid a direct Russia-U.S. military confrontation in Syria. Up until now, Russia and the U.S. have coordinated their military activities to avoid this.
If the Syrian government continues the sort of chemical attacks that prompted the U.S. response, there are two likely routes for the U.S. to follow:
1. Cease the cruise missile responses to Syrian chemical attacks, and be seen as irresolute and ineffective.
2. Continue the responses, and risk a war with Russia, with no certainty about how wide or destructive this conflict could become.
Unless Syria has been lastingly deterred by the U.S. single cruise missile attack, the latter will have painted itself into a very difficult corner.

Listen to Bolivia's representative. And reflect on it a little. Maybe it will help to understand what is wrong with your approach. Some hints presented to those who can listen.

"Missiles are a threat to international peace"

Hmm, so chemical weaponry is nothing but soapy water for football fans to blow bubbles with then?

""Looking for words to enter in a resolution"

Really? For how many decades have chemical weaponry been in use in the Middle East?

The time for words is over.

Translation, weapons threaten peace.

Guns don't kill people, people do, well missiles don't kill people, people do.

Better choices in leaders for peace.
