ApfelGanja Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Syrian refugees in Lebanon now exceed 100,000 people! As of Monday the official number is 101,238 Lebanon is now 3rd behind Turkey (101,834) and Jordan (105, 737). In other related news, Syrian jets have struck a town held by the rebels in an attempt to re-open key supply routes, according to activists. From this we can gather that a UN-proposed ceasefire is increasingly less likely to happen this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApfelGanja Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 The UN is useless. Indeed. All their months of meetings and waiting and resolutions and debates barely solve anything. I think the last time they did something was when they joined the US in destroying and bombing North Korea to bits. The Security Council isn't of much help either considering every country on the council has the power of veto... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dddrgn Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The UN has grown past it's usefulness, it was great when it was created - it worked well at the time, but modern days have made it basically worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApfelGanja Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 the US has placed Patriot missiles in Turkey, facing Syria. Syria is sort of busy with the civil war I don't think they will attack Turkey anytime soon and even if they do, Turkey has a massive and quite well equipped and well trained army. Attacking Turkey would be suicide for Syria. Also, Patriot missiles are OFFENSIVE not DEFENSIVE. Guess we'll wait and see. Syria shoot down a US drone (UAV - successor of the U2 spy plane), most probably controlled/sent by the joke that is the CIA. US deny sending the drone, which personally I find hard to believe.
