World pledges $10 bil for Syrians, but peace prospects bleak

Russia is the only player in the game that is trying to stabilize a government rather than seeking regime change. We have done unspeakable damage to the people of Libya and Iraq and now Syria. We offer them Democracy that nobody wants in place of stable government that everybody wants.

What happened to the swift decisive victory you brayed about Bush? Any day soon?

For those of us not tuned to Putin FM it would seem the mighty Russian bear is getting bogged down in a lengthy quagmire fighting a scruffy band of untrained rebels. That naval base must be worth it.

Speaking of Russia did they pledge any cash? Or offer to take any refugees?

It's already here. Western media just isn't reporting it.

Wow. Truly, take a bow.. The depths of Denial have an infinite deepness.

And the Obama war machine keeps rollin on.

"U.S. Fortifying Europe’s East to Deter Putin"

spoiler alert: you won't hear about this in the MSM

I think you're the last and only poster on this board who actually thinks the Islamists can take Damascus.

When did I say that?

Why didn't Russia pledge any cash for war-torn Syria?

Why don't they take any refugees without 6 figure bank accounts?

We offer them Democracy that nobody wants in place of stable government that everybody wants.

Democracy and stability are incompatible?

Pffff. The only support has been military. And a huge amount of Russian bombs are ending up in the homes of the people you purport to be protecting. Like I said, poor technology or drop and hope. It is amateur hour.

No rant about Russia, I actually have some Russian friends. You wouldn't pull the victim card on me would ya?

I just like holding your toes to the fire for your ever-changing rhetoric on this conflict.

Are their successes frustrating you?

Are these the "successes" the Western media has, heh, conspired to hide? The swift and decisive victory that has eluded you?

Seriously, you took all afternoon to cook up that retort? Globally, Putinbots are losing their flair. It's like you don't even believe your own propaganda any more....
