Friend: It clearly is a bluff, Obama doesn't have the balls to just go and do it.
This is false. Obama bombed Libya. Obama would bomb Syria. Congress/the international community may not let him, and shouldn't.
However now, it gets more complex, mainly cause we have like, only France in support.
Probably Canada; Australia would help a bro out if you asked.
Now here is Syria thinking "Hey, these guys aren't going to war, they're just blowing smoke". Every one of these hesitations make oppressors more confident, Hitler's aggressive before WW2 ringing a bell?
Fred's law: anyone who makes a reference to Nuremburg when advocating a bellicose foreign policy against some small, relatively unarmed state is a moron.
So here we are, with a UN that is about as useful as a water-gun
Saved only a couple of thousand lives.
Funny how this is eerily reminiscent of the prelude to WW2. League of Nations, USSR, economical turmoil seem to be checked. All that we're missing is something like pre-WW2 Japan and Germany.
