Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

But it would give The Stop The War people something to really protest about ( Russians.)

...and no left wing 'peace and love' rally in the world is going to do a blind bit of good.

Putin and what the Russians are doing in Syria is VILE, we are there, alongside other countries to help the people as best we can and try and stop Daesh from over running the country(. With their own brand of vileness)THEY ( Russians) are bombing and killing the people ON PURPOSE to help Assad.

Yes I do realise all that trisher and at times the demonstrators were out en masse. It still doesn't explain why there are at times demonstrations against the West, but never against Russia, i.e. Crimea, East Ukraine, Georgia, and now Syria! Why so vociferous in one camp, and strangely silent in the other?

trisher ... sorry but your posts on this subject are ridiculous and there is nobody posting warmongering on here, it's all in your head.

Is there anyone who disagrees with this?

You do realise nigglynellie that Saddam was the West's creature, installed and armed in order to wage war on Iran and keep down the threat of the Ayatollah, who was of course chosen by the people of Iran in preference to the Shah installed by the West again. We have been meddling in the affairs of the Middle East for decades. Saddam was armed and supported by the west until they fell out with him. Incidentally he used chemical weapons against Iran and there was no outcry from the west about that. We may not have interfered directly as the Russians are but we have been doing it for longer and if you were to calculate the numbers of dead and injured in all the conflicts we have supplied weapons for or supported in other ways we would almost certainly exceed the number killed in Aleppo.

I'll stop straight away!

Never read the Sun, Ana, not even online.
Pleased you read the Guardian online, though.

No problem Ana! Wow the Sun?! No I certainly don't read that dj, and find it hard to believe you do!!! Life's full of surprises!

Ana

(Sorry niggly)

Blimey, just googled and it was first used in the Sun in 2014! Is that where you read it?

As you say Ana, but best ignored.

It has already. That's why I used it. Obviously you do not read the same things I do.

By the way, there are thirty MPs who have returned to the shadow cabinet.
Even Thangam Debbonaire who has said she is delighted to be a whip and thanked Corbyn for giving her this opportunity.

Very probably, but Russia stills wants those bases!and still likes to fly as close to our shores as they can before being politely asked to move on! Wonder why?!

Oh, I don't think that nickname will catch on. Very school playground-ish!

No idea. Putin doesn't tell me anything.
If you listen to Trump, Putin can get hold of any information he wants. Just like America and the UK, he has drones to get his view of the west, and the internet. He probably knows more about you than Theresa Mayhem does.

Then why are they so anxious to keep their naval and airbase in Syria?! Why else would they prop up the Assad regime?!

How do Russia need Syria to have a perfect view of the West?

They have one anyway. They do not need a physical presence.

which for me makes them (Russia) far more culpable than the West.

Thank you ab. I wouldn't say that I am any more articulate than you, and for certain you express your convictions far more courageously than I do!!!!
I've been accused of being a member of UKIP, which I am not! Luckily I was able to shrug it off!
As I see it we in the West have tried to help the opposition in Syria be it all too little too late, and no doubt keck handidly, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions. We did attempt a no fly zone way back in the days of Saddam to try to protect the Kurds whom he was murdering indiscriminately, ((I think sometimes we forget what a monster Saddam was!!) and we (the west) did chase the Taliban out of Kabul and liberate most of Afghanistan. A lot of what we have done and are doing isn't perfect, far from it, and a lot of mistakes have been made, but I do think we do and are trying to do our best whereas Russia is deliberately targeting civilians deliberately reducing Aleppo to rubble deliberately targeting the most vulnerable, including humanitarian aid, all for the sole purpose of maintaining the Assad regime and their own foothold in Syria which gives a perfect view of the West.

Trisher, if you must reply to posts try not twist them, difficult for you it seems
