Apparently we are occupying Syrias oilfields under the guise of protecting them

This is a morally unsustainable mission, imo

It’s not morality that’s allowing a 10% religious minority (Syria’s ruling Alawites) to impose its will on the 70% Sunni Arab majority. It’s superior firepower. Since the Iranians and Russians have seen fit to keep their minority faction in power in order to advance their regional interests, it’s certainly not immoral for us to keep our minority faction independent of Iran’s and Russia’s client. Especially since the Assad family has sponsored a good number of terrorists who killed large numbers of Americans, starting with the Palestinians and ending with the Syrians he sent to Iraq to kill GI’s, who then attacked his regime when they returned to Syria.

It’s nice that you have a place to express them, BUT, No one, including the President, really cares about your opinions on this.

Israel said we stay. There’s nothing to debate.
