spea kthat free to say that we should support military action?d to remember that. what else can the international community do? if it does not go in for what you say may be glorified gesture politics, what else can be done? theresa may is saying that the international community must "strengthen its resolve". what does that mean? we can go further. those people who are completing, committing genocide and war crimes, including russian generals if need be, we can put their money list and shame them. we can remember those hundreds and thousands of people who have died by trying to find those responsible. we never be able to bring them to justice because russia will blog the un and those people will probably never leave syria, so even that is dubious. but there are things that we can do in the memory of those many, we can do in the memory of those any we can do in the memory of those many, many people who have died. i just think dropping bombs because they cannot think of anything better to do is not necessarily the answer. good to talk to, thank you
