I will admit i don’t know enough about why we are bombing Syria to have an opinion either way. But, to me it’s interesting that they have manipulated us into arguing over bullshite while quietly dropping bombs across the world.
ETA i’m paying attention now. Actions, not words, are what’s to be believed.

U.S gov't along with countries like SA and others wanted Assad out of power. They basically hired, armed, and trained "mercenaries" to do the fighting for them instead of using our own troops to go into Syria. There were several different groups and some groups that were once our enemies under new names became our "allies" HTS for example. ISIS formed and starting taking over these groups and many from these smaller mercenary groups we armed and funded fled and joined ISIS which got bigger.
Instead of going after Assad they went after the Kurds in Syria and before you know it, Kobane due to incredible marketing and live online actions of Kurds defending it became world wide media storm. We started sending air power to help them defend Kobane, soon after we started adding more and more troops into Syria, that's where we are at now.
A few years ago Trump tried to withdraw troops from Syria and progressives and RINOS started pretending they were upset about it, saying we are leaving our allies unprotected. The problem is, Syrian Kurds have never been our allies, Iraqi Kurds however are. There were actually riots in Iraqi Kurd area about them sending their own troops to help Kobane as Iraqi and Syrian Kurds don't tend to like each other. But for whatever reason RINOS and white progressives believe our American troops should be killed defending Syrian Kurds who they themselves launch terrorist attacks in Turkey also killing women and children.
