Mission accomplished....!-Was Syria missile strike a success-or not ?

With so much conflicting information out there...the narrative coming from the Russians is that the missile strike on Syria was a complete failure. Only 30 missiles reaching their targets- over 70 shot down... so what is the truth? - and on top of that they showed the so called targets that were apparently vacated a year ago and hit by Israeli jets already ... and said those that did hit... hit empty buildings with no people or equipment...effectively a waste of 165 million dollars.

It is sad to see also that one chemical test on the nerve agent says that Buzz or BZ was used in the Salisbury attack. But the Swiss lab of the OCPW have said that some components of novichok were in the analysis. Effectively, again ... the closed investigation in the UK has brought into question the authenticity of the intelligence and we now are being asked the question...is this a false flag and does the military intelligence community really want to create tension with Russia...

In the end we will have to say that this missile strike was a PR exercise. It might fool some people... but not others who are prepared to question the facts. We must also ask ourselves... what is the REAL agenda in Syria?  Who stands to gain from this show of force... and is it really a show of force?

My thinking is that it is. Russias influence in the region is growing with its alliance with Iran and Syria. Soon that may grow ... perhaps China. Perhaps Pakistan... and even perhaps Turkey. But - if this is so... what does it mean for Israel? - one thing I always realsied when I visited Megiddo valley and overlooked it from the Carmel - the third world war will be a land war and a tactical one. If the Russians are drawn into a big all out war - it would have to be in their national interest. They would not do so otherwise... but the propaganda is flying both ways... and no one really knows who is telling the truth anymore. Thats the big problem.

If anything we need to hold the mainstream media to account and our governments who waste tax payers money on useless exercises. If you are asking folks to go out...especially young soldiers to die for their country... dont send them out on useless exercises of your own making...

We need to absolutely question everything about this missile strike because next time it will be more stream lined and everyone will be banging on the war drums and no one will be thinking anymore... and thats the main issue...

Its all very well telling your people... our brave soldiers lets honour them... but when you send them out for a useless war to get killed...thats NOT brave..thats criminal. Stupid and irresponsible.

Britain and America have spent much of the last 200 years fighting all over the world. Perhaps now its the time to use some of that money to developing the domestic economy and looking after the citizens of that country - sending unemployed people to war so you can cull the population is not a good thing. When you talk about morality..remember the Great War..the war to end wars... much of that was on false intelligence. Much of that was nationalistic ego and adventurism... those poor soldiers in the trenches died in the thousands... millions... and what happened at the end ? -

If you were to speak to any of the survivors they would have said more or less the same thing... " we fight war never to go to war- and lets do our best not to jump into it. "
