morolf: I really do wonder though why it's called the world series...America is not the world and almost nobody outside the US cares about baseball...pretty strange.

tinyE: It's a stupid name I admit, but I love baseball.

There are so many legitimate reasons to hate me, don't hate me for that. :P
I don't hate you at all.
Don't really have an opinion about baseball either...I just don't care about spectator sports in general (can't stand soccer either).

DubConqueror: So thank you all for your replies and just let the thread die, that war, as grievous as it is, isn't something me or anyone here can stop.

WBGhiro: Well, not with that attitude.
Thank you.

Bombard the whole thing with PORK STEAKS!

Believe me, that will work!
Nukes. It's always the best answer.
Slightly bumping this "related" thread as if you're interested in medias in general, today is THE day to take note of how the finale of Aleppo battle is covered in the press(and on social medias). Going from "It's liberation!" to "It's a massacre!", there's a whole spectrum of opinions and inherent bias that you can grasp just by reading various headlines. It will be interesting to dig that out some years later as right now, you have a good snapshot of the various media positions on the conflict (and to see if they'll change their mind later or not).

Titanium: Make a peace plan all sides can agree to and convince them to agree to it.
How to do it
Trump with Putin are the only ones able, plus willing, to stop it and this, only when Trump becomes the president normally, which is hopefully happening some time later. Clinton, Obama and lackeys are the ones supporting the rebels, as well as Turkey's meddling and even associated in the past with Jihadist activity, at least indirectly.

Unless they foil the results and force that man to step down, or even worse, restore Hillary or something, then Syria will happen in many places outside Syria, son.

You stop the war in Syria by supporting Trump and by supporting Putin and especially, by not hindering the latter and their allies; which is exactly what United Nations, NATO, NGOs and corrupt media the world all over, are currently doing. This only adds unneeded oil in the fire and worst of all, prolongs the nasty situation and the suffering of people. Anyone else who tries to sweet-talk you by beating around the bush, or claiming that ugly medicine can taste sweetly, is out there to fool you. Real solutions are never the easy ones, much less, the easily palatable to the masses.

This ultimately is the bulk of the truth. Once support is withdrawn, they can't help but break down and eventually fail. Almost all the rebels and ISIS and them have IQ's of about 80, so they can't come up with these plans or make their own hardware or do most of this themselves, they will eventually fall into disorder if left alone, and if their incomes and resources are removed it will take a while to balance itself. Kicking them out of various countries (Sweden, Germany, Turkey, Italy, US) will help with stabilizing and removing support via sucking resources from the welfare state.

On the other hand they are also receiving aid from Saudi Arabia, however if the US can no longer supply weapons to Saudia Arabia they can no longer supply the rebels and ISIS either; There's a proposed bill to make it illegal and hopefully impossible to continue direct or indirect support of said groups.

There's 2 major upcoming choke-points to steal the election from Trump still, not including assassination.

1) Dec 19-20th. There's the Electoral college, already there's 5-15 something electors that intend to vote against Trump.

2) On Jan 6th which counts the Electoral college votes, who could in theory veto some, most, or all the votes. The CIA (currently under Obama's control still) are trying to convince everyone the Russians were involved, and thus the election is illegitimate and supporting Soros's Colour revolution (this one designated purple).

Probably it's both, I have no doubt that Assad's troops are committing acts that could be described as war crimes. Still, given that the opposition has been dominated by hardline Islamists for years, I have to regard Assad's regime as the lesser evil.
I wonder what happens after the end of the battle of Aleppo. But in any case, Assad's regime seems to be secure now, interesting development.

DubConqueror: I want to stop the war in Syria.

But how do I do it?
1. Be black.

2. Run for and win presidency of the USA.

3. Become commander in chief and bomb the shit out of Syria while at the same time accepting Nobel Peace Prize.

4. Cause huge instability and support various factional terrorist groups rebelling against current sitting Syrian government.

5. Pull stakes and run for the hills when the Russians show up.

Assad has said he will step down when it is time. Let's assume he leaves 3 years after ISIS is fully removed, that would be enough time to get the city (and country?) stable, get protections and everything in order before leaving.

I watched an interview something like a month ago and he put out some really good points and explanations for what was going on. Will he keep his promise? Don't know, but if he steps down or is removed before ISIS is removed, then likely chaos and more issues will crop up.
Obama didn't bomb the shit out of Syria. I don't like the man, but he was relatively restrained in his actions towards Syria...he still caused a lot of damage by allowing covert support for rebel groups, but at least he stopped short of open intervention and regime change which Clinton would probably have done.
