We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Jolani was going through that awkward al-Qaeda phase that we all go through in our youth.

He’s a changed man today!
Interesting times in the Middle East. Hopefully he has changed his outlook since his al-Qaeda days. If not, then Syria just becomes another Iraq.

Last I heard the ten million dollar FBI reward is still on.

I think it might be kind of awkward trying to collect on it today :)

I have been following Kevork Almassian's coverage of this conflict for around ten years or so, off and on. He predicted almost every aspect of this
current situation back in September including all of the players and their various state backers. Thank God he was able to get his family out of Aleppo a few days ago.

Here's a wrap up of Kevork's years-long analysis of the conflict (it's an hour):

Well... he is talking the talk right now. Saying there will be elections, that all minorities must be respected and that women can decide for themselves what to wear - there should be no rules on how they dress.

Remains to be seen if he will walk the walk as well.

It's a huge blow to Russia, anyway, who are losing their only naval base and air base in the Middle East and in the Mediterranean. The air base in Syria has also been serving as a pit stop for their missions in Africa.

The five war ships they had a the naval base have already left, but the thing is, they can't get into the Black Sea, as Turkey is blocking that route for them. So they have to either go through the entire Mediterranean, then up along the European coast, into the Baltic and head over to Kaliningrad, or after reaching the Atlantic just follow the Norwegian coast all the way up to the Arctic, and then turn right at Svalbard, and head to Murmansk on the Kola peninsula.

Putin is desperately trying to see if he can somehow hold on to the bases. He is now trying to cozy up to the same people he called terrorists a week ago and tried to bomb the shit out of. I doubt they can be swayed.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Just last week we received a letter from the Canadian government offering us medical assistance in dying. :(
