In what regard?
(I see your post rating count doesn't exactly enhance your credibility) :) :) :) :)
What do you mean my post rating count douche? You mean that thing being perpetually abused by Walter and CDNfruitbasket?

That's the first time I've seen someone legitimately believe that's a thing that matters.

When it's up around 90% it's probably no big deal there, Douche, when it's languishing around 40% good, it's probably time to ask yourself a question or two there, Douche!

Here is the latest explanation I've seen about the situation in Syria.

"SYRIAN CONFLICT EXPLAINED TO DUMMIES
President Assad [who is bad] is a nasty guy who got so nasty his people
Should we stop and correct this error. In the last election he was at 70% or something like that. If that position is limited to two 7 year terms then his next win would be the last time he could run for that position.

I listened to the CTV interview of the defence minister, Sajjan is a liar. He listed all the western funded terrorists as targets. "We have to cooperate with all our coalition and NGO partners" he said. Those partners are the driving force behind this war. So the policy with respect to this war is alien to the Canadian political body.

It just means Canada won't be the country that breaks NATO's back Turkey probably will be. We are buying a version of the Iron Dome so will still have the same old friends.

"SYRIAN CONFLICT EXPLAINED TO DUMMIES

This should clear it all up for you. Just so you know, I am not taking any
questions on this subject !!!!!!!!!"

Not one mention of Saudi Arabia.........

The United States just released a large quantity of sophisticated ground attack weapons (link is external) to the Saudis who are running low because of their endless bombing campaign against Yemen's Houthi population. The Houthi rebels are waging battles with al Qaeda and ISIS units. In other words the Saudis are informally delivering air strikes against the same murderous Islamist bastards we're trying to defeat in Syria and Iraq.

Black Daesh, white Daesh. The former slits throats, kills, stones, cuts off hands, destroys humanity’s common heritage and despises archaeology, women and non-Muslims. The latter is better dressed and neater but does the same things. The Islamic State; Saudi Arabia. In its struggle against terrorism, the West wages war on one, but shakes hands with the other. This is a mechanism of denial, and denial has a price: preserving the famous strategic alliance with Saudi Arabia at the risk of forgetting that the kingdom also relies on an alliance with a religious clergy that produces, legitimizes, spreads, preaches and defends Wahhabism, the ultra-puritanical form of Islam that Daesh feeds on.

The West’s denial regarding Saudi Arabia is striking: It salutes the theocracy as its ally but pretends not to notice that it is the world’s chief ideological sponsor of Islamist culture. The younger generations of radicals in the so-called Arab world were not born jihadists. They were suckled in the bosom of Fatwa Valley, a kind of Islamist Vatican with a vast industry that produces theologians, religious laws, books, and aggressive editorial policies and media campaigns.

Saudi Arabia remains an ally of the West in the many chess games playing out in the Middle East. It is preferred to Iran, that gray Daesh. And there’s the trap. Denial creates the illusion of equilibrium. Jihadism is denounced as the scourge of the century but no consideration is given to what created it or supports it. This may allow saving face, but not saving lives.

Daesh has a mother, the invasion of Iraq. But it also has a father: Saudi Arabia and its religious-industrial complex. Until that point is understood, battles may be won, but the war will be lost. Jihadists will be killed, only to be reborn again in future generations and raised on the same books

I watched that interview too. I got out of it that Sajjan was just saying in a diplomatic way, 'Canada will continue to be part of the coalition but we really don't want any part of the war.
I guess we'll be sitting back watching and munching our popcorn as our allies do the fighting.
Trudeau keeps saying, 'We will do everything we can to aid the coalition". When and how can we expect 'us' to do something?
