Syria is a sovereign country. We should not be in their airspace shooting down their planes, particularly since we have not declared war on Syria.

The “US backed rebels” are CIA cutouts for weapons delivery to IS et al.

Exactly! When did we declare war on Syria? Has Trump made a statement about this?

Agreed. Trump trashes Bush for Iraq and then becomes President and shoots down Syrian planes.

“Syria is a sovereign country. We should not be in their airspace shooting down their planes, particularly since we have not declared war on Syria.”

I understand your point, but Syria is a failed state. Given IS, we have every right to do whatever we need to.

“The “US backed rebels” are CIA cutouts for weapons delivery to IS et al.”

Separate issue.

But, are you saying we still support IS under Trump?

It’s a civil war. It’s advisable to stay out of other countries civil wars, but Assad doesn’t own the place. He is not the sovereign ruler of it. If Syrians want to rebel against him, we have as much right as France did when they supported us, to support them.

Now, we’re playing footsie with Russia in Syria. Something of a mutual agreement that we won’t go after their people and they won’t go after our people. As for Assad, he should figured it out. Russia, Iran and Hezbollah aren’t going to prop him up for much longer. There’s a new sheriff in town.

Agreed.

I agree, Syria is a sovereign country. If another country flew over our air space and shot down one of our planes, it would be an act of war. Syria is abt the only mid east country where the president has made efforts to protect Christians. Obama may not be in office but it looks like his twisted muslim ISIS sympathy continues. What is wrong with our military leaders ? Enuff already, did we not learn anything from Irag, Libya, Egypt, etc ? We are like a bully run amok. Its true. Sickening
