re: U.S. & Israel Increase Air Strikes Across Syria…

I probably have an unpopular opinion on this. But trying to think this through, I believe:

A). ISIS and Al Qaida, as well as other radicalized Muslim terrorist organizations have no business being in control anywhere in the ME. They’ve shown their murderous intentions repeatedly. We should oppose them wherever they raise their demonic faces - with force. We either fight them there, or we’ll fight them here in our own streets. That’s a proven fact. As a result, I’m not surprised we’re bombing them in Syria, and Israel is taking advantage of the opportunity to further secure its own borders.

B). There are many warmongers in our govt and corporate sphere that only see this as an opportunity for enrichment and a money grab. As a result, they will do whatever they have to to extend any conflict, sacrificing flesh and tax dollars to keep their coffers full. These people are just as bad in principle as the enemy. They should be rooted out and dealt with as traitors.

C). The US should NOT be the world’s bouncers. Our military has become a crutch to allow evil actors on the “side of good” to instigate, intimidate, and enrich themselves at the expense of the taxpayers and other nations. This has created harsh resentment towards the US govt here and abroad. However, we also MUST address issues abroad as they relate to national security and alliances. This leads us to the MOST IMPORTANT thing:

D). We, as US voters, MUST get our heads out of our collective butts! We have the duty and responsibility to elect the right leaders to office. We let our votes be swayed by “emotion” and “culture” instead of being grounded in good, solid, moral principle. So many of us buy into the latest words of power hungry snakes who will lie through their teeth to get power, instead of using our brains and eyes to research and vote on record. Then we want to spit and sneer when the snakes we elect destroy our country, our relationships with foreign entities, embezzle our tax dollars, start useless wars to enrich themselves, and destroy the good reputation and security our fathers have shed their blood to build. AND all the while these snakes put MORE people just like them in our courts, justice system, ambassadorships, corporation CEO’s, military and defense, etc…

So, when it all comes down to it, the onus is on “We the People” and our vote. You don’t put a snake in the hen house and expect him to not eat your eggs. We need to take our civic duties way more seriously than we do. We are seeing the results when we fail to do that.

especially when US planes are assisting Israel in bombing the remaining military assets around the country.

they're bombing Assad's weapons depots, just as Israel had been doing in Lebanon.

Syria has been engulfed in a civil war for 13 years, and there were at least 3 rivaling factions. It wasn't some peaceful nation that the US and Israel just decided to invade one day at the request of the MIC, CIA and AIPAC.

Israel's interest in Syria is simple and logical. Assad's Syria was the conduit for Iran to funnel weapons to Hezbollah and Hamas. That's their immediate threat, and they'll take anything over that, even at the risk of the unknown.

I’m not saying that I want us to take action there at this point, I just think that future issues may arise from there if it becomes a hotbed for terrorism and the growth of terrorist organizations.

---

which is why bombing the weapons depots and Israel fortifying their border is fine.

also, for anyone that wanted Assad to remain in power, how were we supposed to achieve that?

Maybe not meddle there and make every attempt to destabilize the country for ten years?

---

ahhh OK, so you're totally ignoring the fact that Iran, Russia, Turkey and Israel had interests in Syria in addition to the civil war that was occurring.

but we were the destabilizing force?

So many of y’all don’t have a damn clue about anything with this conflict.

---

it's just easier to blame the following: Obama, cia, deep state, MIC, Israel, Mossad, AIPAC.

This goes both ways and seems to be the new SFP take. The U.S. is so innocent. Everyone else is meddling and the U.S. is a passive actor with 1,000 troops there.

quote:

U.S. troops "have been there now for the better part of a decade or more to fight ISIS... we are still committed to that mission."

Asked directly whether U.S. troops are staying, Finer said, "Yes."

Islamic State in 2014 swept through large swaths of Syria and Iraq and established an Islamic caliphate before it was driven out by a U.S.-led coalition by 2019.

The quote you posted said we were there fighting ISIS, you say we supported ISIS in their overtaking of syria.

For real, none of it makes any sense to me. My guess is we have been there to frick with Assad (and the fight ISIS/Al Qaeda part is a ruse), but whatever.
