This is the big concern. Not sure there's a 'right' answer tbh, but because of that caution before jumping is probably the best thing. tbf to May, it seems our government is indeed being relatively cautious compared to the USA and France. That's surely a good thing!we could potentially be going into war on the side of Al Qaeda affiliates

The double tap bombings that have been carried out in Yemen are hideous to the extreme. You also can’t pretend that some bombings in Yemen haven’t been indiscriminate and haven’t killed innocent people including women and children. They have and they were carried out in British made plains with British made arms. I do hope that isn’t the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour because if it is then the world truly is lost.i was talking about Syria, we could potentially be going into war on the side of Al Qaeda affiliates, do you want Corbyn to defend them?
i could spend all night on here listing attacks that have happened which haven't been condemned by our government and in some cases clearly facilitated by them, (Yemen springs to mind), So you statement is fairly ridiculous.
I don't know the answer to what's going on in Syria, but I do know that we have affected regime change and backed dubious groups in the Middle East with ever increasing disastrous results, going right back to the 50s when Iran had a fairly rational and democratically elected leader who we helped depose in order to install an Islamist because he wanted to nationalise Irans oil supplies for the Iranian people.
So I'm always concerned when we get involved in situations like this because invariably we somehow manage to make things even worse than they were before.
Also remember that as far back as 2013 Corbyn urged the Government to stop Russia from being allowed to attend arms trade fair on UK soil and purchasing weapons, but I'm sure you will somehow find a way to condemn him for that.
Lol he seems pretty keen on getting May involved in military action and was one of the first to stand up against Putin in the wake of Salisbury
Although he did campaign to ban Russia from UK arms sales and fairs as they were passing the arms to Syria and against the export of the component chemicals of the nerve agent to Syria.I’m talking about Syria when he refused to condemn a chemical attack on young children.
She has, but if there were a commons vote and she lost like Cameron did then I think she'd be finished so I'm not sure if that's behind her caution.
Assad is obviously a horrible bastard and in an ideal world he'd be gotten rid off but just like Iraq there could be potentially worse regimes queuing up to take his place.
We should attack now , sick of the likes of Corbyn whinging making Chav excuses to score points . He knows nothing about anything . A total passive prick with nothing to offer and is shown up every day as a whimp , get the tomahawks in the air now , the Russians are shitting themselves as non of their kit works very well , take out all these dictators . Now , grow some balls let’s get this sorted and move on .
If Russians are in the way tough shit they have been told to get out of the way , get them airborne now , UK , USA and French on the case against insects , get this sorted , rid this world of Vermin now
The west and Russia should be standing side by side in today's world but strangely they don't seem to have any interest in that
Nobody seems to be concerned about how we're going to pay for another war. We've been told for years by the government there's no money. Not for the NHS, teachers, police etc but it seems to not even be questioned when there's talk of bombing someone.

Dave there are no chemical nerve agents in Syria - as Russia has none where would they come from.
Syria's declarations to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) name Britain as the sole supplier of dimethyl phosphate (DMP), trimethyl phosphate (TMP) and hexamine - three chemicals that Syria used in the production of sarin.
Syria's declarations have since been verified by a Whitehall audit of chemical sales by British companies.
Sarin, or NATO designation GB (G-series, 'B'), is a highly toxic synthetic organophosphorus compound. A colorless, odorless liquid, it is used as a chemical weapon due to its extreme potency as a nerve agent.
How do other countries manage it then? The US, France and UK, the three countries talking about more bombing, make up half of the top 6 arms exporters.Also it’s very easy to not sell arms when you are not in power - less so when the rest of the Eu is selling them left right and centre (literally)

Every single Eu country I’ve looked at had increased arms sales substantially to the Middle East so if Corbyn wants to wreck the economy by letting the Eu have a greater share of the pie is absurd.
So basically as long as we make a few quid it doesn't matter how many people get killed. Are 'the other EU counties' you're referring to the ones that have been requesting an arms embargo to the middle east, the ones who have singled out the UK and France as the two countries giving the most resistance to an arms embargo?Every single Eu country I’ve looked at had increased arms sales substantially to the Middle East so if Corbyn wants to wreck the economy by letting the Eu have a greater share of the pie is absurd.
Wreck the economy... is this your vision for taking back control? Sell things to kill people on our terms?

So if we were selling chemicals to Syria that then went on to be used in chemical weapon attacks you would be OK with that so long as we profited from it?Every single Eu country I’ve looked at had increased arms sales substantially to the Middle East so if Corbyn wants to wreck the economy by letting the Eu have a greater share of the pie is absurd.

We have never repeat never sold Chemicals to Syria . Ask Jeremy Corbyn he knows everything about nothing along with his patsy followers
Our arms trade is based on sound judgement and government export licenses , which include 3rd party use of weapons .Much of it set up by a labour government when the old eastern block came into NATO like Poland , Estonia etc
DYOR
In which case why did Whitehall confirm the claim made by Syria to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons that all its supplies of dimethyl phosphate, trimethyl phosphate and hexamine had been sold to them by the UK?We have never repeat never sold Chemicals to Syria .

To prove my point Russia now blaming Britain for Staging Chem attack in Syria .
Forget Syria let’s roll NATO into Moscow Now before they can do any real harm . failed state
Former head of the armed forces General Jonathan Shaw tried to say that this could be the case on Sky and was cut off!
Sorry he has never ever been head of the armed forces, someone who has duped Sky and it’s audience and YOU
You know how the head of the armed forces work ?
he held a senior position so I would have thought he was worth listening to rather than cutting off.
But he was not worth listening to, I worked at the MOD for 3 years anything he says will be inaccurate,outdated and plainly for his own gain .
