The motion says that ISIL presents a direct threat to the UK, that it presents an unprecedented threat to international peace and security. It also says that the increased military action is legal in line with the UN charter.The ministers said it is "illogical" to carry out strikes in Iraq but not Syria as ISIL militants don't recognize the border between the countries. Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said the UK is already a target for ISIL extremists and the threat has "intensified". The motion is set to be voted on Wednesday.
"As brutal as Saddam Hussein was, it was a mistake to just eliminate him," Flynn noted. "The same is true for Moammar Gadhafi and for Libya, which is now a failed state. The historic lesson is that it was a strategic failure to go into Iraq. History will not be and should not be kind with that decision."He pointed to the rise of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group and how the blinding emotions of September 11 led the United States in the wrong direction strategically. "When 9/11 occurred, all the emotions took over, and our response was, 'Where did those bastards come from? Let's go kill them. Let's go get them,'" he said.
Putin believes that "this is a fraud to restrain the industrial development of several countries, including Russia," says Stanislav Belkovsky, a political analyst and Putin critic.Gee. What a concept. "Climate change does exist, it is cyclical, and the anthropogenic role is very limited."
According to Andrey Illarionov, Putin's former senior economic adviser, the Russian leader's staff "did very, very extensive work trying to understand all sides of the climate debate."
"We found that, while climate change does exist, it is cyclical, and the anthropogenic role is very limited," said Illarionov.
The president believes that "there is no global warming, that this is a fraud to restrain the industrial development of several countries including Russia," says Stanislav Belkovsky, a political analyst and critic of Putin. "That is why this subject is not topical for the majority of the Russian mass media and society in general."and
"We found that, while climate change does exist, it is cyclical, and the anthropogenic role is very limited," he said. "It became clear that the climate is a complicated system and that, so far, the evidence presented for the need to 'fight' global warming was rather unfounded."Note this this comes from a Putin critic. It would be great if Putin actually saw behind the lies of anthropogenic global warning, but this could just be an attempt to smear Putin and place him in the "global warming denier" camp.

Probably not. They appear to pay it lip service because, after all, to be a 'denialist' is equivalent to being a 'murderer of polar bears and bunny rabbits', but they have probably figured out that climate change follows natural cycles, and that Western elites are using the notion that man regulates this mechanism in order to tax people into grinding poverty and block industrial development in non-Western countries.
