So weâre at loggerheads on who to believe? The Russians are known for their transparency arenât they?
Just like our government?
Fisk, Hersch and Pilger are not Russian Barry.

Anyone been demanding judgement before evidence?
Thats a different argument to whether you feel they did it? I have said all along we shouldnât be doing anything in that Country unless the international community is with us.
You do realise who the Syrian Army/ Russian Army are fighting against donât you Barry?
Do you believe the version of events told by Al Qaeda/Nusra/whatever other wahhabist âterroristâ group?
I know theyâre backed by US/UK etc but do you trust their picture of events despite it being strongly contested by Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalists with decades of experience in the Middle East?
If you were a betting man where would you put your money?
Its a proxy war, no one gives a shite about Syria its just happens to be the arena for Iran/Saudi/Russia and the US, throw in a few nations with interests in the area namely a lot and its going to get muddy, are the Russia capable? Yes. Are the Syrians? Yes.
Have they done this before?
Russians yes.
Syrians yes.
Where is the proof this was a staged event?
The Syrian regime is killing 100,000âs and being held there by Russia and their veto, we can talk about that as well if you want?
Or the journalists you mention and their agendas? Who do they write for?
Why is Russia helping Assad?
Those are the questions that need to be answered.
Come on, be fair. If you canât take the word of Al Qaeda/Nusra/whatever other wahhabist terrorist group, whose word can you trust!
Whereâs the proof it wasnât a staged event. Your arguments are circular Barry.
Maybe leave it until some sort of international consensus is reached
Oh, that isnât going to happen any time soon is it? 
Why are the Russians in Syria?
Why have they provided air missile defence systems?
Russia is doing Syriaâs bidding so they can remain in the region and have influence, theyâre murdering so they can have influence.
Argue against that.
Whoâs historically killed more innocent people for influence in the middle east, Russia or the UK?
Is there evidence that Russia funds, arms and gives tactical support to known foreign jihadists(who sends them)?
Iâll buy a drink for anyone that can name all the terrorist groups in Syria, that are provably supported by the west and supplied with foreign fighters.
Does the UK have any legal right to be involved in Syria under international law?
Have any of the UKâs military involvements in the middle east improved the lifeâs of the people that didnât want them there in the first place?
Iâve just realised how long this could go on. Iâll shut up now.

Youâve answered a question with a question again, those questions donât answer mine either.
Itâs just a few general questions, thatâs all(bit like my first post). If you feel itâs your duty to defend the faith, go for it.
See if you can answer any of the questions while youâre at it.
Hereâs one more question. If the source of nearly all the western msm media are so trustworthy, why, when invited to receive an award(Oscar or something), was their leader denied a visa because he was classed as a terrorist?
What faith?
I only try to see agendaâs, thats where the truth is not a proxy war propping up a tyrant, people are genuinely falling for this did they/didnât they shit and missing the picture totally.
Why are Russia propping up Assad?
What have they got to gain from it?
The chemical attack is simply a distraction, a side piece.
Anything in the news concerning the Crimea lately?
The Donbass?
The answer to your question is I donât know but in the great scheme of things its about as important as a fence post in space.
I wouldnât know.
I wouldnât know.
No one would know that.
Grey area but probably not without a united consensus.
No.
Russia was invited by the Syrian government. Were the US? UK?

Incidentally Bazza, why are you keen to swallow wholesale the writings of Tim Marshall as Gospel but nobody else? Is it because you havenât read them or are just contrary? Did you ask what Marshallâs agenda is?
I understand Elon Musk is currently working on this.

Ha Ha I havenât, there are a number of geo political books Iâve read and they all donât really paint Russia in a good light, why would they?
A legitimate Government? Ask the Kurds, why havenât the UN intervened then? Barrel bombs from helicopters? You have a very very selective memory, the civil war didnât start by the UK did it? Why did it start?
You havenât really answered the question of Russiaâs involvement in propping up a dictator, lovely copy and paste though.
