We (US, UK) have UAVs capable of highly accurate targeting.
We (US, UK) have ways of making sure civilian casualties will be as low as possible.

Nobody has ever made or would ever make those claims about Russian forces.
What about that hospital that the Russians bombed recently? Or was it the Americans?

I can't seem to remember...
Everyone who isn't an anti-Western moron knows the Russian government is scum of the highest order.


Then you have the hipsters who pretend they aware by holding Russia to much lower standards than the UK and USA.



Putin is a criminal who belongs in a prison cell.
The Russians have always been infamous for their brutality in war, from back when they were still the Soviet Union. It seems they've retained that brutal military culture. I don't see how this is anything but a war crime.

It makes me wonder why there's so much resentment towards the West amongst Islamic communities though, when the Ruskies have also occupied Afghanistan and are currently bombing Syrians much worse then the West are.

I definitely agree that ISIS needs to be wiped out. However i cant help but feel they are THRIVING off this. Kids cant go too school = wont get an education = easily brainwashed into ISIS ideology. Further strikes and increased civilian deaths are obviously killing kids parents or vice versa which is fueling their hatred for the west. I said this in a thread a few days ago, the "refugees" that are coming here quite a few of them have pure hatred for the west and their only aim is too get them back for what they have done to Syria.


the same could be said for the fight against the Germans... but the National Socialists were ultimately crushed.

Just to confirm, are you comparing the strikes by America to the strikes by Russia? Really? With a straight face?

So Russia massacring people (in areas where ISIS do not even operate) fuels people's hatred of The West?

Interesting theory, chap.

Plus Chechnya.

It just goes to show how stupid these people are. I include the sanctimonious Westerners who lose their minds at the proposition of a surgical British air strike campaign against ISIS but are completely silent over Russian atrocities.

Where are these people in this thread? All we've seen is that one guy coming in to spout pathetic whataboutery over America hitting a hospital even though Russia hit 4 hospitals around the same time. You couldn't make it up.

Speaking about the British people on this forum and elsewhere like Stop The War Campaign types now. These people don't care about Muslims being oppressed. They just pretend to because it helps their agenda to exploit it. They're only about slagging off Britain and America. Their silence over Russia doing far worse on a regular basis proves this. They're full of crap and completely unaware that people see straight through them. ISIS et al see them as useful idiots and probably laugh at them in Raqqa.

It's not Muslims in general who hate the West.


It's lower class people who live in council estates in Bradford/Luton/Tower Hamlets, they don't hate the West because of anything the West does, most of them have better lives than they would have if they lived in Saudi Arabia (the Saudis love rich White people, they're not exactly known for their love of poor desis however, except for when they're using them for sex, so much for being Islamic lol).

Resentment towards the West and Islamism is them looking to blame the mainstream external culture for their own failings in life whilst simultaneously identifying with an outside culture which gives a sense of belonging and achievement.


'I don't need good grades, a nice car and a good job, it's all a trap of al-Dunya anyway; I have Allah, the Sunnah and will be getting virgins in paradise, just wait all those rich, normal successful people will be burning in hell'


It's the same feeling of being a loser which caused the rise of the Nazis after the humiliation of WW1 and the treaty of Versailles, a collective narcissistic injury.

Don't care whether the US or Russia kills Daesh fighters the quicker they are gone the better. Civilians should have gone to refugee camps or cities in the east (Latakia, Damascus) if they die it is fully their own fault as they are in a war zone.

I didn't realise America is responsible for Islamic sectarian violence, are the Muslims children who have to be supervised at all times to stop them killing one another?


Pretty racist to say yes if you ask me.

I forgot Chechnya. There's even historic examples too, like the Chrimean war. Which interestingly enough had the UK fight alongside the Ottoman empire against Russia.

Oh, I wasn't trying to imply it was Muslims in general. But yeah I agree with everything you've written there.

I know, I wasn't accusing you of bigotry, but I have noticed it is generally lower class Muslims who do the whole 2Pac Hadith, smoke weed but won't touch pork, watch porn but suddenly decide they're part of the IS Mandem whereas successful Muslims drink scotch and toast the Queen.

What's your source?

Not implying that you're not telling the truth, I just haven't seen this reported in the press (which seemed to harp on that Putin was gods gift to Syria when these things started).

I think you misunderstood me. I genuinely didn't remember... I heard about it briefly on the news some while ago.

I guess my wording might have been somewhat conspicuous. Sorry about that.
Not this crap again :rolleyes:

You know full well America didn't kill those people. It was sectarian violence. What you're saying though is that America caused this by getting rid of Saddam Hussein. So you're saying that Iraqis are barbarians who need to be brutally oppressed so that they don't slaughter each other in sectarian ******ation. It's actually pretty racist of you.
