[Falsedawn]

I still need a head of my Secret Service to help keep the trolls out of my sticky thread @Falsedawn. You're just the man for the job. Let me know asap. I'm definitely going to need my security detail to hit the ground running once I'm elected. Thanks.

You know i'm going to do some secret police shit right? Double secret police. Arresting jimmies everywhere.

@Andy disappeared from the Internet before his Ugg Off, that's about as close to someone dying on Sherdog I've seen.


Speaking of Ugg Offs, I implore everyone to take a break from politics and to come and check out my latest thread and VOTE!

Who is uglier? @John Wang vs. @Pupi

Nice AV

Vote in the thread and say something mean.

 

[Pupi]

For the record: @John Wang is ugly as hell

 

[theBLADE1]

Last year, I voted for @Palis To be the very first president of the War Room. I did this because at the time Donald Trump had just one the presidency and the WR was filled to the brim with right wing trumpets. It didn't feel right voting for @JDragon at the time. However this year my mindset is completely different as it's time to swing the pendulum back in the right (or should I say left) direction.

I, theBLADE1, hereby officially endorse @HomerThompson for the presidency of the War Room!

Let's get this forum moving in the right direction. The PROGRESSIVE direction!

PS STILL FUCK YOUR SEAHAWKS THOUGH REAL TALK!!!!!

69.2% of the vote is in. Many absentee ballots have yet to be counted. Results from the rustbelt are late to come in.

Anyone want to start a thread on this?

I obviously cant, but think this should have been front page news everywhere.



China to deploy troops to fight alongside Assad in Syria

China is planning to send troops to Syria to aid President Bashar Al-Assad’s forces, according to the New Khaleej.

According to informed sources, the move comes as China becomes increasingly concerned with the presence of Islamic militants in the East Turkestan region, who have been sighted aiding opposition groups in Syria.

Last week, during a meeting with Syrian Presidential Advisor Bouthaina Shaaban, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi praised the regime’s efforts at tackling the fighters from the Islamic East Turkistan Movement.

The Syrian regime has also claimed that some 5,000 fighters of Uyghur origin, an ethnic Muslim minority that Chinese authorities regularly accuse of terrorism, have arrived in Syria, illegally passing through Southeast Asia and Turkey.

The sources said that the Chinese Ministry of Defence intends to send two units known as the “Tigers of Siberia” and the “Night Tigers” from the Special Operations Forces to aid Syrian government troops.

This is not the first time Chinese troops have crossed into Syria; in 2015 the Syrian regime permitted some 5,000 soldiers to enter its territory as allied forces and stationed them in the Western region of Latakia. Chinese military advisors were also among the deployment, as well as naval and aerial assets.

That's an old story, and a lot of the places that initially reported it have deleted the story and/or issued a retraction.

It's about a week old. Any reason given for the retraction?

China and Syria denied it, and the stories were based on Russian facebook reports I believe.

Chinese Special Forces will soon head to Syria to participate in countering terrorism of the Islamic East Turkistan Movement in the Damascus countryside, said the Hmeimim Russian Military Base in west Syria.

The base posted on its Facebook page that the Chinese Ministry of Defense intends to send two units, known as the “Tigers of Siberia” and the “Night Tigers” from the Special Operations Forces, to aid Syrian government troops against the Islamic East Turkestan Movement that was sighted aiding terrorist groups in Syria, Asharq Al-Awsat reported.

China and Syria denied it.

I don't know. It's not like they would be sending air and sea assets. What's the upside to admitting to sending advisors if you can deny it.

I guess it depends on whether you think the facebook posts of Russian bases in Syria are credible as a news source.

Can one of the democrats give me a hand with something, I’m trying to vote multiple times but I’m not sure how to do it

Due diligence on their behalf should apply as well though. There has to be some responsibility to insulate one's self.

Still disgusting.

Victim blamer and apologist for extremists. This is your candidate for POTWR folks!

I always respected you solely for the OPM avatar

He makes a decent point in saying that if you have that issue you should disable gifs but to counter that I'd say not all gifs would trigger such a reaction, in fact I'd say only a minority would. So I imagine its not even something someone prone to seizures even deals with when viewing gifs most of the time.
