Syria notifies Israel it will attack if IDF doesn't leave Golan Heights

Israel is not the people of the Bible spoken of. The faithful people of the Bible are oppressed in Isael.

Read what I wrote again.

I'm not anti-Israel. I have no historic claim to that land whatsoever, and at no point did I say anything about conquering any portion of Israel.

Thank you.

Iran, Turkey and Russia taking out Israel and Arabia.
and all hell breaking loose in the rest of the world
would put the U.S. in somewhat of a quandary.

So where does Crimea fit in, huh?

Crimea was huge, exactly because of that which you mention.

I seriously think that the old post-WW2 order is breaking down, so it's likely that we'll see more of these moves happen more often.

The main concern which major powers have is in regards to the destructive power of nuclear weapons, and this is why the post-WW2 order has persisted for so long.

Crimea has been illegally annexed by Russia. It fits in just the same as Golan Heights and other illegally annexed areas.

Maybe so. I don't have a opinion one way or the other about these things.

It would be nice if all the nations could agree to a system of international law, which is what you're talking about.

But that system seems to be slowly breaking down. I wonder what will happen next?

No they aren't. The annexation of the area was a strategic necessity, a question of survival. Before, the plain areas of Israel below were constantly bombarded by Syrian artillery occupying the high ground. This had been going on for years. Israel did what it needed to do, as any other country would do in the same circumstances.

well, Assad doesn't stand a chance against Israel,
but if Turkey, Iran and Russia help him, then it's doable.

No, it hasn't. Crimea has been Russian territory for centuries. Until some day Krustchev (who was an Ukrainian) woke up drunk (as usual) and "gave" it to Ukraine. After the dissolution of the USSR, Russia wanted to recover what was theirs and so they did.

The UN says the land belongs to Syria but because the bankers in Israel owns all the Congress members it thinks it will get help from traitors in the USA.

Putin will not defend Syria but he will defend Israel when push comes to shove because the whole cold war is a 1984 play scripts

Assad has been protecting Christians until America decided they were expendable for $$$$$ (oil pipeline)

Yes, and before Russia was even a thing, other people lived there. The history of Crimea (and the Golan) goes back many thousands of years before these centuries of relative modern history.

It gets a bit silly to talk about historical ownership in my opinion, however, I will concede that this idea does have some merit.

don't be so proud of yourself: we're all expendable.

it was theirs, then it was Ukraine's, then Russia illegally annexed it.

what's next, will Russia annex Kiev due to it being the ancestral home of the Russians?

they're going to have to make all new world maps pretty soon.

Possibly...

Anyway, all this land-grabbing and annexation is only "illegal" according to recent norms. Used to be the time that this shit happened regularly.

and now it's illegal!!!!! that's why the united nations is mad about it!

well, there are powers in the world that are trying to
cancel the individual Sovereignty of All Nations.

so, all bets are off, now.

it's a free for all.

I'm not trying to say it's a good thing. There's a good chance it will all end in tears.

Again.

In this case I side with Israel, large swathes of Israel itself was land taken due to combat executed against and not by Israel, hence the reason why they're there.

They're mad because they can't suppress Israel and prevent it from defending itself, especially so when the Arabs have waged war on multiple occasions against Israel despite the advantage they had in numbers and technology at times, if the Arabs weren't so hostile and supportive of terror against the west let alone Israel there would be more an argument to have...

the amount of time Israel has said lets come to the table and sort things out, but the Arabs said no we want it all back from which we can again wage war against you, then there's the fact that the sunni and shia sectarianism is a constant threat toward themselves but also towards Israel as one side tries to play the other, look at the 2005 civil war in Gaza where Hamas brutally cracked down on the political opposition, last years riots where 50 odd Arabs got killed in the process of riots on Israels border 50 off which were Hamas operatives.

The UNSC is the one to pay attention to they the ones that actually have the power and capability to make things happen, the UN itself are a bunch of hypocrites that sit around and bark when they themselves curse the blind and trip the leper their vote is a courtesy to make them feel important.

don't want to spoil to you, but some pagesd later...Israel gets nuked to a glass parking lot.

talk for yourself, I'm not beef for chosenites.

Anything new going on with this situation?

Don't think anything will happen until the Israeli elections in April.

Everyone is waiting to see what direction the country will take and what will become of the whole peace plan idea from Trump!

so, when is Assad going to attack Israel?

To be fair the article stated they were prepared to go to war not that they would actually go to war...

However if the past is anything to go by, Syria may once again try to wage war against Israel, likely with Hezbollah and Hamas plus the multitude of skull fucked sectarian splinter groups.

good point, thanks.
