    Yeah - proxy war. It's clear the US coalition want to continue the war, its objective being Assad since the start (ISIL was but a pretext, at best).

    Russia's presence will deter from anything more serious.

    ... And in that sense they're right, in theory.

    Looks like a pattern: The torturers were, in many cases, former torturees.

    People don't learn, or if they do, they learn the bad things. That's depressing.

    Yes, I remember some people doing a study on this. You would think if people had experienced something really awful they would do everything they could to make sure no one else experienced it but about half of people who did have such an experience instead wanted to do it to someone else.

    The reality must be that the Kurds are doing what the US wants not that they care about them. Remember when they called them up to revolt in the first Gulf War and then left, leaving them to be annihilated.

    The supposed gas attacks of course may well be false flags especially as they are already wanting an excuse to attack.

    Oddly enough, that's exactly what Muslims and Mexicans are doing when they immigrate illegally.

    Putin did destroy Grozny to fight the American backed terrorists, but he did rebuild it. The ones who suffered the most though were the Russians who lived there. The Chechnyans simply ran to their villages in the mountains.

    What you break you fix. Russia rebuilt Grozny because it was part of the Russian Federation. It was a civil war against terrorists infiltrated by CIA agents. Yatsenuk was one, and he's now a wanted man in Russia. Iraq and Syria are not part of the US, so they have no intent to rebuild. Washington did it so they would be forced to take out loans and fall into debt. Then they can buy up all their infrastructure and oil resources cheaply. It's the corporate owned new world order, and it's pure evil.

    The cost to rebuild Mosul will be $88.2 billion. As for Raqqa, they have the Kurds fighting to hold on to it, and the repayment for US help, will be its resources.

    When a nation is invited to help another it's called an alliance. When a nation is not invited, it's called an invasion. We are invaders in Syria, Russia is not.

    Thanks. I don't really care that much who has a right to what. Mexicans have no right to come here uninvited. They do. Muslims have no right to go to Europe, but they do. If anyone has a right when they aren't invited, it would be the few most powerful countries in the world. Only might makes right. Might = power to kill and destroy = fantastically great wealth

    No, it's actually the mind of those who live in the Middle East. Of course, Iran and Nazi Germany were very close.

    Croatia was close to Nazi Germany, the Western Ukrainians were close to Germany, and the Muslims in Bosnia were close to Germany. Notice how in the past 20 years, the US and Germany has favored them at the expense of the Serbs and Russians - even to the point of covering up their crimes, and making up false accusations so they could bomb Serbia?

    When the Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersch revealed the lies and hypocrisy, not one publication in the US would publish it, he had to go to London.

    Well, when they began to act like us, and break international law with this invading and war mongering, as Nations, only then will your comparison appear to be logical. Until then, I only see one nation that is beginning to look like nazi germany, and that is the good old USA. We have even taken the propaganda of Goebels and took it to another level in brainwashing our own people, which is now completely legal since obama trashed that 1947 law which made it illegal. So now many americans have been legally, brainwashed by lies and propaganda, and don't have the sense to even notice. But great propaganda and weak minds insures this. Weak minds are the results of hyper partisanship. Using partisanship, appealing to it with propaganda is so powerful!

    Okay, lets have some explanation.

    'Name names'. I'm a little lost about who they and we are, and us and them.

    Link to your education on this topic?

    Show me what you read that taught you this.

    I think the easiest way to brainwash the population is to take advantage of the emotions of the public. Where they feel the most oppressed and have not found answers is where they can most be manipulated to help a movement. Since white men aren't historically as oppressed as other cultures in the U.S., they logically would not be easily manipulated. They simply don't have a great desire to make changes.

    So, we need to find a group that desperately needs answers, that does not understand why they are a target of oppression and who is mostly left out of the greater loop of regular society, to find anyone desperate enough to believe in anything which places blame and promises a better life.

    I hope that makes sense so far. The poor German citizens had nothing and were starving, yet many Jews had some money and were looked at as oppressors. Even if they were, attempts in exterminating them and treating them like they were subhuman was wrong. If they did have the most money in the country, wouldn't that be in direct opposition to the idea that they were inferior?

    What cause the issues in Germany were Woodrow Wilson, one of the most progressive presidents the U.S. has ever had, doing all in his power to word the Treaty of Versailles in such a manner that Germany had to pay back so much, their economy was completely crushed. Now check out the culture change in the U.S. during the 1920s. WWI ended in late 1918.
