Who is right? Obama or Putin?

Corbyn thinks we should stay out of the conflict. Stop joining in the bombing.

Which is a bit negative.

So, you think Obama will call off his help for the "good" rebels, including stopping the bombing? You think he will just cave in? Hmm.

No doubt his solution would be a committee, followed by a forum followed by a quorum to discuss the solution; no solution would be found, but all would congratulate each other for a fine discussion.Possibly a leaflet campaign would be advised.

Negotiation (anyone volunteering?) then hugs and congratulations to the terrorists afterwards and invite them to Westminster for afternoon tea.

What is Corbyn's solution to the problem, just out of interest, durhamjen?

I think you could be right roses! It is a sort of 'get out of Jail' card for us and other coalition partners. The game has changed , so of course a rethink is now necessary, understandably!!

I think you are mainly right nigglienellie.Humiliating for the US, but I suspect the government here is a tad relieved, and probably other countries as well.

La,la land it is jingle, particularly as Assad has Iran on board too. I'm afraid we're going to have to accept that Russia hold all the cards, will behave as they see fit, and short of fighting them, there is absolutely nothing the West can do about it. The idea that Assad would be easily overthrown like Mubarak, was a grave misjudgement. Russia stayed on the sidelines while the West got more and more bogged down and disorganised, tearing itself to bits with petty squabbling, and complete lack of coordination, until finally Russia was able to walk in, take over and call all the shots. (literally) We are where we are and hopefully we can cobble up something with Russia over Syria, but I don't feel at all hopeful. Even if we do,it's bound to be humiliating.

Sorry for the name error. I can't get these names into my head. They just merge.....

Glad you agree, roses.

Of course he is! on everything from banning nuclear devices to not hanging out your washing on a Sunday.

Neither. Corbyn's right.

Iran has now joined in with Russia, they will destroy all opposition now to restore order to a Syria under Assad.It's a like it or lump it scenario now.

Hollow laughter emoticon needed!
