Additionally, Putin is bombing the wrong people.
Which is why Turkey shot one of their planes down!

There is no oil in Africa that's why Isis are ignored in Africa.[/quote wrote:
No oil in Africa, really?

Nigeria, 2.2 million barrels a day.
Egypt
Libya
Algeria
Angola
South Africa
Sudan
Congo
The list goes on.

A lot of these have massive, largely untapped oil reserves.

Besides that we wouldn't be bombing ISSIS we would be bombing Syrian civilians, women children old folk who are under seige from ISSIS.
At last, Thank You.
ISIS are not the only people in Syria, they are not walking around with a label on their back so we know who to bomb and ISIS are not going to sit around a campfire together waiting for an air strike.
Should we bomb every town in the UK that has a possible terrorist in it, how would YOU feel if it was where you and your Family live.
Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

I thought the value of oil in war is by stopping their supply you increase the value of your own supply.

If it's not oil then why is isis ignored in these countries?

I could easily draw up a list of bomb-worthy UK towns and the collateral damage would be worth it.
I've no idea how to add a signature.

Put a selfish hat on.

Reprint a load of articles from The Guardian, explaining that the UK under the Tories is a right-wing nightmare, the NHS is closing, starving people are rioting at foodbanks, the police are gunning down people with black skins, all welfare has been stopped, BTL landlords are turning families out into the streets etc etc.

Drop these on the columns of refugees, distribute them at the Jungle etc.

Then all the chancers currently hoping to get here will realise that the UK is a NeoCon nightmare, turn on their heels and go and fight ISIS for themselves.

The next thing to do is get a load of crop-sprayer aircraft and load them with pig manure and spray it all over ISIS areas. The 'heroic martyrs' will not risk death while they are Haram (filthy) because they won't get to go to heaven and rape the virgins, so they will have to surrender.

We can then cure them of their affliction by giving them each a nourishing pork roll, but not telling them what's in it until they have eaten it.

An absurd foreign policy? Maybe, but no more absurd than sending in the RAF as air-support for a fantasy army (FSA), and probably just as likely to be successful.

:ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

You've done it now!

Incoming....

Seriously, plenty of earlier conflicts have shown bombing alone does not deliver victory.
( Vietnam for instance, theYank's later " shock & awe" in Iraq didn't seem to work either)

Where is the money? Oil its always oil. There is no oil in Africa that's why Isis are ignored in Africa.
What oil will we gain by bombing ISIS?
