But, true to form with your massive ego ....... after announcing your departure from CEF ...... you return in a blaze of self adoration and profusely thank all your devoted fans for their numerous personal e-mails of encouragement ..... and promptly changed your mind. Obviously Your People needed you?

You really are a pathetic character!

BTW: Skripal's? There is no more evidence today than there was the day it happened!

The UK Govt. realised, as I did, that their story based on their 'evidence', didn't hold water and got Bellingcat to invent a few more suspects ..... and mugs like you fall for it! The military spent 20,000 hours 'cleaning-up' and don't appear to have found anything to support the Russian Novichoc fairy tale ...... and the UK Tax payer footed the bill. But at least the Skripal's got a new roof out of it!

But back on the Syria thread ...... now the RAF claim they made 1700 raids into Syria, killed over 4000 ISIS terrorists ....... and ONE CIVILIAN!!!!! That poor civilian .....never was there a more tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time ....... and I would bet you will believe that story without question. :lol: :lol: :lol:


:lol: :lol: :lol: Ohh - ohh - not personal abuse??? I thought you were the much maligned, innocent victim?

It's entirely within character, the revelation (once again) of your skulking around a forum that you've been banned from (basically, for gross stupidity) hoping to pick up something that you can "use" against somebody on another. A bit like some sort of snotty-nosed schoolboy snitch. :lol: People can judge for themselves who perhaps is the most pathetic. Interesting how your personal abuse has improved - since you learned that I've absolutely no interest - and never have had - in making you accountable for it off-forum. That's your forte. Although, the thought of you spending all that time staring at the 3am ceiling's warming. Don't completely stop fretting though, given your magnetic internet personality I'm sure that sooner or later somebody or other will take a less lenient view. Tic tock? :wink:

Syria? Not really interested. I take your word for the raid reports - not that I make a habit of it. :lol: When ISIS swept across Syria/Iraq I recall your saying that we must "Compete to win the hearts and minds of the people". Absolutely - totally - clueless - as always. :lol:

Some time ago, when I pointed out to our good friend that Assad's forces had killed something like 250,000 innocent Syrian civilians his response was along the lines of it being understandable, given "embedded terrorists". So, do excuse me if I don't take all this tear-jerking, anti-west bollox too seriously and just regard it as yet A - N - Other of his usual rank hypocrisy things. :wink:

Is that all!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... death.html

Assad has killed more than 500,000 of his own civilians, and has evicted more than 6 million Syrian People from their homes - who are no longer allowed to return. Another 8 million internally displaced Sunnis will lose their houses and property as the Assad regime dissolves all their property titles.

Many of these refugees will end up missing and killed in foreign countries and no one will know because they don't have any official papers and are virtually now Stateless. Very vulnerable to abuse and crime in Turkey and throughout Europe.

This has been an epic ethnic cleansing operation of Sunnis that the world has never seen before since the deportations of Jews across Europe.

Assad is one of the biggest war criminals of our time.

I wouldn’t disagree with that figure, my comment was made a couple of years ago. Things have moved on.

We’ve even heard about how Bashir Assad is in fact a “Democrat”. Much beloved by his people. :roll: His Father was famous for being equally benevolent of course.

Yes its amazing how he claims to uphold democratic principles, unless of course you are a Sunni refugee. In that case, Law number 10 gets introduced to dispossess you of all immovable property.

Some people have no interest in what is just, legitimate and decent. UIt's all about Russia and America. In Cyprus there is this syndrome that the Americans are evil, but we all truly know who the evil country is and that isn't the USA or the Americans.

At least for Cypriots, there is an Orthodox connection with Russia and Cyprus did get burnt by the Americans big time. Kind of understandable that a grudge be held to some extent. But I always return to my principles and I hate injustice.

As to your mate, I find it difficult to come up with an explanation other than he must be on the troll factory payroll. Normal people with half a brain are not supportive of Assad or can ever be supportive of Assad. It's like being supportive of true evil.

He's no true democrat, but Syria is far more democratic in comparison to most Muslim Arab countries, like Jordan or Saudi Arabia. :wink:

Why not compare Syria with Qatar and United Arab Emirates? Democracy isn't exactly the only measure here. You don't have to be democratic to be a good country. This standard applies to Syria as well. The fact that they are "democratic" or not is not really an issue at all, or even a consideration. There is no problem if Syria was a Dictatorship like Saudi Arabia, or Jordan. The issue is the rights of some 14 million people, half of which are now refugees outside of Syria and can't return, and the other half are displaced inside Syria and can't return to their properties. It's about their rights as citizens, getting gainful employment, maintaining their titles over their immovable properties, getting access to education and health, and living in security and safety.

Where would you rather be? Syria or UAE? The UAE isn't democratic either but what really is the problem with that when you live and work in Dubai?

One more thing, Iran and Syria are on the same scale as Saudi Arabia. It's just that one Wahhabi and the other Shiite. But Iran isn't exactly high on the freedom index.

And secondly, we are talking about Syria, not Saudi Arabia or Jordan.

Got any proof? Nothing special. (MY) Skripal standard would do. Please though - no Daily Telegraph, Guardian, BellingCat, opinion-like stuff. :roll:
