It's the same old stuff you hear, here day in and day out, everyone who's got it all figured out- The west is bad…
Unless we are willing to start WW3 over this WE can not turn this around. And who here wants to start WW3 over Syria?

No you are saying all those ridiculous things, i am saying that it's a weak conspiracy theory and more of a political stance.nice try though,Namming off cannibalizing, next to baby killing as if that makes your argument any stronger.

"When was this proven?" The western MSM claimed it was Assad using chems. Where's the proof for that? Oh yeah, MSM propaganda. That'll be enough for the sheeple to sprout BS.

We all know, Putin is a sly bastard ... but, weather you like it or not. In this scenario, they guy actually has it right.
When ISIS came to onto the scene, Europe as in EU should have grown some balls.
When the Refugee crisis turned up, Europe should have shelved it's titties and grown some balls.
Think about it, people say WWIII ... in reality, we can't have one ... as it would have to be a continuation of WWI and II. But let's give people a slack, and say these are "biblical" times. What do the biblical prophecies say ... all hell will break lose, and basically everything outside of Jerusalem, will be hell.
Now, one has to ask oneself ... is that what we want for anyone? Is that the future, we want for the people of the middle east? But we cannot but admit, that this is precisely what USA/UK have been getting at, when the middle east is involved.
So ... like it or not, I hope China get's Russia's back hard ... as if they want to solve this, they're going to have to get their hands dirty.

Ok, let's think outside the box for just a minute.
Didn't Obama just visit Russia? What if the following "fake" conversation, had occurred ...
Obama: Geesh, mr. Putin ... we're in Syria and have come to know, that we're being manipulated by ISIS and we can't do shet no more. Our hands are tied behind our backs, and we can't rectify this situation. Everything we do, turns out to be dust ... we're really trying, but we can't get dirty ... because the public won't let us.
Putin: *laugh* well, we Russian don't play by the rules.
Obama: I know, that's just what we need. We've been trying to fight this for over a decade, without results.
Putin: Well, we got China and even Iran here.
Obama: Well, what are you thinking.
Putin: Well, you just did what we've been telling you to do ... to give Iran a slack. You want us to fix this mess?
Obama: You can?
Putin: We'll go in, and China will have our back and just days after we arrive ... you'll hear them squeel like pigs.
Obama: Thank God! But you know, we can't officially support your actions.
Putin: And you know, we can't officially claim to be doing your work?
Obama: Business as usual?
Putin: Business as usual.
Putin and Obama shaking hands, and smiling for the camera.

Fact is the OP is right.
WE, as in the USA/UK and allies have LOST.
West should have gone in as soon as ISIS appeared and annihilated the vermin then forced a ceasefire between the other groups and Assad and hammered out a deal. We didn't.
We decided to play "game of terrorists"
Russia has taken advantage of that and called us out.
Putin has handed the biggest foreign policy blow to the USA and allies since Iraq.
It is a political defeat. WE need to withdraw now.
