A former British ambassador to Syria was interviewed on the BBC's Today radio programme this morning, and he said he thought that 40% of the Syrian population supported Assad.

I too would support Assad if the alternative was a clusterfuck of US/Saudi/Turkey backed rebels fucking my country.

To be more precise, he was talking about the situation before the revolution and civil war.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi armed forces appear to be preparing for a serious assault on Ramadi. There is no doubt that the target here is Daesh.

Iraq should be wrapped up in a few months going by the reports on the ground.

Syria however might go on and on!

Quick Tim, head for the hills.

Putin apparently has a secret weapon that might miss the target as well! :lol:

Or is it the same secret weapon that missed by several hundreds of miles? Who cares! No one in there right mind would buy Russian junk anyway when the yanks are selling the mighty tomahawk which can be launched 200m under the ocean from a sub. 8)
