Quote Stuk at 20 Oct 2015 5.00pm It's nothing to do with free speech, it's the inaccuracy and false attribution. You two have fun w***ing each other off though. What on earth are you going on about? What's inaccurate? When I said I merely posted an article, what was implicit was there was no personal opinion attached. I merely posted an article. Obvious, really, as I simply said "interesting article" -- the only two words of mine in the post. Can't see what's inaccurate about that. And yes, there was an attribution: Charis Changnews.com.au. An Australian news agency for whom Chang is an editorial writer. Doesn't really matter though as the opinion was what was interesting and can be discussed on its merits (or otherwise) regardless of the original source or who wrote it. But if the latter matters to you, the attribution was right there in the first two lines. Your ranting is surreal. Edited by sydtheeagle (20 Oct 2015 5.10pm) Sydenham by birth.

I don't want to go all conspiracy theory or anything but - how do we know the US policy (United States) has failed? We don't really know their full intentions. Perhaps they have no interest in peace in the Middle East, or in being the dominant military force, perhaps they just want to manipulate oil prices and manipulate the market for their defence contractors? Perhaps what is going on is exactly what they wanted - or will be? There are a myriad number of things they may have as their strategic goals in the region without telling us about it. From a viewpoint of wanting stability in the region then policies have failed; but there could be an overall policy of undermning the region for other purposes that are not quite clear to the wider world at present. Red and Blue Army!

The funniest thing is that he refers to the content of the article as "nonsense" as if that means it shouldn't be read. WTF? I didn't even say it wasn't nonsense; merely worth reading and responding to. Your interpretation of my general intent is absolutely correct, but I think most can probably discern that. It's nothing to do with free speech, it's the inaccuracy and false attribution. You two have fun w*ing each other off though. Well I've heard it all now!

The West's madcap 'dictator whack-a-mole' clearly made the middle east situation much worse and so it's harder to convince the public now that the latest bogeyman needs to be dethroned. The Russians are doing what's in their strategic interest, just as the US did when it attempted to help further destablise Syria. Whether they'll get on any better is anyone's guess. Just another stage in a proxy war. Edited by oldcodger (21 Oct 2015 12.35pm)
