You kind of know there's trouble in the offing when they start another recruitment campaign for the army

One wonders exactly what arms we could supply that the yanks can't.

That said Syria has a nutter leading it, with Iran supporting them, and some crazies from Lebanon.

If it gets out of hand the Israelis will just nuke the lot, and I'm not sure that's what we want.

We armed the Afghans against the Russians and look how that ended up

We don't want to be arming the Syrian rebels, Assad has them on the back foot at the moment. If we arm the rebels we'll end up fighting with Russia, Iran and Lebanon.

Damned odd that we freely send these deranged cutthroats and murderers high powered, fully automatic lethal weapons when we are not allowed to keep anything more than an air rifle without needing reams of certification to prove we are fit and responsible human beings..

Usually, I have a pretty, good, handle on things, with no real surprises, but this one has me fu*ked. I don't know where to start. Which is a bit concerning? The reason, I put the thread up is to get some sort of a feel for what's happening but to be honest, I am at a loss.

Which makes me think. This could turn into a real shi* storm of gargantuan proportions.

If you give these people arms, sooner or later they will be used against our own people. The last thirty years have taught us that.
Just leave them to it and stay the [edited by admin] out.

BTW I agree with Skull I wouldn't believe any of the bullshit we are being fed.

Yeah, they've all got chemical weapons - out of 100,000 people killed so far - a massive 100 have allegedly died by way of chemical weapons.

Cameron wants to arm the Muslims?? Now where have we heard that before?

Putin has hit the nail on the head, "we'll arm them who are fighting the Muslim faith".

Putin is reputed to be the richest man in the world with an estimated fortune of $70billion and rising. He holds the key to the gas and oil supplies to the western world. Turn that off and we're fucked.

The Russians don't have jets anymore, they have highly accurate missiles which are being shipped in to Syria to aid Assad in his fight against the Muslims.


Stanislav Belkovsky, a political analyst and critic of Putin, is one of the most outspoken. He claims Putin could be worth as much as $70bn, a figure that would make him the richest man in the world.

This extraordinary sum is based on claims that Putin owns shares in three major oil and gas companies: 4.5% of national gas giant Gazprom, 37% of oil supplier Surgutneftegas and a major shareholder of a company that cannot be named for legal reasons. That company strenuously denies any links to Putin.

‘The figure of $40bn emerged in 2007. That figure could now have changed, I believe at the level of $60-70bn,’ Belkovsky says.

His estimate is based on information gained from confidential sources around the corporations, Belkovsky claims. But he is reluctant to reveal more.

All three companies have opaque ownership structures, and it is impossible to identify the shareholdings claimed by Belkovsky.

Gas and oil producer Surgutneftegas is secretive – an attitude that has not always played in its favour. In 2009 the company bought a 21.2% stake in Hungarian company MOL. However, when Surgutneftegas came to register as a voting shareholder, it was refused. MOL said the company’s lack of transparency around its ownership structure did not comply with Hungarian law.

Gazprom is the biggest gas extractor in the world; the Russian government controls it with a 50.002% stake. But while Gazprom is more transparent over share ownership, Belkovsky claims Putin’s share is hidden through ‘a non-transparent scheme of successive ownership of off-shore companies and funds’.

Gazprom and Surgutneftegas did not respond to the Bureau’s questions.

Despite repeating the claims several times and it being reported widely, Belkovsky has never faced legal action disputing them.
