This is a Civil War, between an oppressive regime - and Muslim fanatics. These folk live to kill, and anyone foolish to get involved will just add to the lists of the dead.
What national interests are served by throwing our best and bravest into this meat grinder? Do you think for an instant that both sides won’t immediately turn on the USA, and blame everything that happens on us? From the Muslim mind, which is more evil, a regime that tortures and kills it’s citizens, or the Great Satan? (Hint: us).
Let them kill each other - let them utterly destroy themselves; this is apparently what passes for ‘civilization’ in this part of the world. This is what they want, this is what they export, this is their way of life. Let them have a merry old time, so that our troops can live a long and healthy life. Some folks are not worth saving - and IMHO, Muslims fit firmly into this mindset.
Very well said. My sentiments exactly.
Exactly. What have we to gain when both sides hate the US and want to wipe Israel off the map. When your enemies fight each other the best thing to do is to let them go at it.
Syria is Putin’s sand box. No way he is going to let us play in his sand box. And now way he is going to let radical Islamic fundamentalists take away his best ally. No way.
The Muslim Brotherhood can’t win without our help and Syria is off limits to us. Putin would never allow US troops in Syria.
