Originally posted by whodey Hillary praised Trump for his attack on Syria. She wanted to do the same, only, she wanted to add a no fly zone.
I reckon you would have been just fine with that.
No. No I wouldn't.
I didn't accept Bush 1's war.
Nor Clinton's.
Nor Bush 2's.
Nor Obama's.
Just look at the cess-pit the US is leaving behind. They were told in the 50's: keep your bloody nose out of the Middle-East you moronic imbeciles.
But no. In they waded, like every bloody conflict since the 40's and screw the whole situation up; leaving more faeces behind than when they arrived.
The US is responsible for half the world's terrorism. Either directly (CIA sponsored death squads in southern America), semi-directly (arming Hussain and the Jihadists in Afghanistan) or indirectly (regime change and oil-driven meglomania).
STOP IT!
Like bloody teenagers on a planet full of adults.
From the BBC:
The US provides arms, training and military assistance to what it calls "moderate" Syrian rebel groups. It has led a coalition carrying out air strikes against jihadist groups in Syria since 2014 but this is the first time it has targeted government forces.
Originally posted by whodey I think it's always best to enter a no win quagmire without legitimacy, that way when you exit it you loose nothing, because if you did have credibility entering it you would have none once you left as so many have done before.
Heh. A "no win quagmire" being one of your threads? Let's hope Trump's wars are not as plentiful.

Why is this important to know?
You'll see.
That's the best you got?
"You'll see"?
No, really, tell us why it is so crucial that we support a regime that gasses its own citizens?
I say count your blessings. At least he does not draw spineless red lines in the sand and telegraph what he is going to do 5 years prior to when he does it. Nor does he let anyone know what he is going to do, which is important since the federal government seems to be full of people who are trying to sabota ...[text shortened]... around playing with themselves trying to decide on what resolution to pass again against Israel.
No, but he DOES bomb Syrian forces just to get the Trump-Russia connection out of the news.
Originally posted by finnegan Yes the UN is paralysed by the Security Council. America and its pals are a big part of that problem. Russia and China are hardly an improvement. As long as the major powers can veto whaever they like the UN is hobbled.
The fact that they happen to disagree with you has nothing to do with your disapproval, either. Not at all.
Originally posted by whodey This is the ugly side of the Progressive era.
Once government had been centralized by Progs and given a federal income tax with a bank to print whatever money they like, they then created a world conquering army that has gone nonstop since.
And of course you support the US taking in more refugees to make up for that, right?

Bill Maher ripped into Trump after the strike and I couldn't agree more.
But he also castigated liberals who climbed aboard the bandwagon of support.
Americans, especially uneducated Americans, seem to make their foreign policy decisions based on what they see on the evening news. And make no mistake, the media is now Corporate Media, so it's just like being spoon-fed.
