Jeremy Corbyn (labour leader, tosser, beardy-lefty-creep, tosser, revolutionary, power-to-the-people tosser) said that if he were Prime Minister (God forbid) he would never press the ‘nuclear’ button to launch atomic weaponry. Never. Pacifist. See ‘tosser’, above. He laughed off such things. “We are no longer in the Cold War”, he said.

At probably the precise moment yesterday when Russian bombs hit their first targets in Syria.

Ok, that’s Syria. Bad place generally. Its not like Putin bombed America.

Is it???

Putin obviously forgot, when he was talking for 2 hours to Obama on Monday, that he actually had his planes lined up and loaded to the max, when he spoke of probable solutions to the Syrian crisis and the Isis crisis. Maybe he felt he didn’t need to as America’s been bombing there for months (and that’s working well…), so they could bomb together. Must’a slipped his mind.

Except…

Syria is royally fucked. Royally.

There’s Assad, the governor, and he’s in control of The Syrian Army. Such a bad man that America and Britain have been arming his opponents. Until they turned into ISIS. Well, some of them did. Others became various other groups of The Free Syrian Army, non-ISIS Jihadis, Kurdish armies, Buy-one-get-one-Free Syrian armies and half a dozen more groups, factions and fighters.

So ‘the West’ are anti-Assad. Everyone is anti-ISIS. The other players are people who just want to overthrow the President. Because he’s a mass-murdering, chemical-weapon-deploying, genocidal scumbag.

Putin is pro-Assad. He loves him. Sees nothing wrong in killing a few hundred thou of his own nationals. He’s a man after Putin’s own heart. Assuming he has one.

The Russian bombing was allegedly upon ISIS. Allegedly. In reality it was against the anti-Assad armies. The ones America and Britain are supporting. ISIS took the day off. Catch up on some housework.

This situation is now so ridiculous that it should be funny. But its not. It could become the next proxy war between super-powers. Another Vietnam. Heaven forbid.

Or Afghanistan; America armed the Taliban to fight the Russians, then 5 years later they’re fighting against their own very impressive weaponry in the hands of the same Taliban. The Yanks armed Iraq to fight Iran, then went to war with Iraq.

History repeats itself. And the lesson learned is NO-ONE EVER LEARNS THE FUCKING LESSONS.

I hope that’s cleared it up nicely for you.

Happy Thursday (let’s hope there’s a Friday)
