The thing that irritates me is...
An Russian double agent and his daughter gets the chemical treatment.... and all hell breaks out...
Whole swathes of the Syrian population gets the chemical treament... more than likely with Russian backing... and the World just sends a strongly worded tweet...
FUCK YOU... DOUBLE STANDARDS!

Where are you getting your news commentary from?
You're reciting the RT talking points to a T.
Rot, I have watched you from distance over the past couple of years, and I can tell you, without a doubt, that you are reading some real bullshit from trolls if you believe that the UK and the EU have a duty to enforce their ideals on a sovereign nation like Syria, or they can't get angry over a foreign government usurping sovereign rights of the UK.
It's right up there with your sad belief in the Brexit movement. I legitimately feel sad for you. You're a good guy, but you're filled with so much ignorant poison.
Let me take it a step further and say this:
we know that much of the world is a shithole. Many countries have totalitarian governments, brutal dictators, or homicidal royal families in the case of the Saudis who enjoy a beheading every day before eating breakfast with their bare hands. The world is more barbaric than civilized. Syrians are good people, by and large. They got their government because their country wasn't as strong as many Western States. America has made the mistake of trying to force democracy on countries where it should have, instead, forced a rule of law that would protect the people and the countries from bad actors.
When a man and his daughter in England experience a chemical weapon attack on British soil, carried out by a foreign government, it shows that the country is unsafe from bad actors. Even if the Russians hate on the rest of the world (as Perviy Canal or RT or Rossiya spoonfeed their citizens propaganda from FSB or GRU) they have put their money in EU, English, Swiss, and American banks because they KNOW their property is safer in countries with a strong rule of law than if they were to store that money in their own country. In fact, every rich person will be more likely to keep their money in a bank where it is safe from being taken from them. It's simply the way reasonable minds work even a a minimal level.
So as you throw out the
whataboutisms, remember that we want the UK to be safe from foreign bad actors. We don't want it to become a country like Syria that is too many steps from salvation. Putin just said he doesn't respect your country or the right of British residents/citizens to life.
So pull his dick out of your ass.
