Vote on air strikes in Syria is due tonight 10pm by MPs [Members of parliament] from House of Commons of the United Kingdom. United Kingdom is already part of air strikes in Iraq, conservative party failed in 2013 to win support for air strikes. Situation within middle east is now much worse, civil war in Syria has become frozen conflict. Declining influence result power vacuum extremism groups taking hold with terror attacks across the middle east. Soft power with hard power only way of fixing this issue. Does mean economic action with major soft power and troops. Economic action forcing parties to the table would be useful start. Overconfident we can fix this this issue with just air strikes.
Russia is willing to play role within middle east we should let them help.
Do not support air strikes without action in other areas just wishful thinking air strikes creates frozen conflict. Home growth terror is created by social issues at home economic mainly with social. What we can do is help create more peaceful solution to the middle east. Language of war is not helpful should not be doing what opponents want. Want war with unrest with highly emotionally language.
Reality sometimes problems don’t have solutions.
Actions so far in Iraq have proved that half measures like air strikes only get you so far. Argument for air strikes based on somebody else doing the heavy lifting with wishful thinking. Hope Labour MPs don’t vote in favour…
If I was Labour MP would be voting against the motion.
