The US has once again stuck its nose in where it doesn't belong.Can someone explain to me (ideally concisely), what the fuck is happening in Syria right now and why?
We see footage of bomb victims from yesterday yet there are over 100,000 people dead from the Syrian crisis.
We said we were going to help Syrians, which means the same thing that it always means when we "help" other countries - we are going to make it worse. And we did! We claimed we couldn't stop ISIS with what we were doing, and we got token support from our incredibly shady UN partners, but ISIS still grew and massacred people. So then Russia just came in and said WTF and will do more in one week than we managed to do in years. They will crush ISIS and Assad's opponents quickly, and they will be forever known as the ISIS/ISIL stoppers who did what Americans head-scratchingly couldn't.
Now there's more that I don't get, along the lines of Russia/Iran/Iraq/Syria versus US/Saudi Arabia/? but the article that I posted is suggesting a balance of power shift in the ME.
It's just over. The whole charade of "US world protector" is over. Call a spade a spade and offer a world-wide, half-hearted apology. We need an absolute, complete mindset change as a country and as citizens.
And I will now go over to the Pres page to rip into Trump. Fuck.
