No one is questioning the courage of our troops.
But here we do again, meddling in the internal affairs of another country - one that has been taking care of ISIS with Russian help (while we undermine their sovereign govt).
I am so sick of this.
Yup, driving around, shooting up a sovereign nation, that is some meddling.
Sure, we could sit back while the Russians, Syrians, Free Syrian Army, PKK Kurds, YPK Kurds, Al Nusra, Turks, and 50 some odd militias shoot it out and maybe once in a while shoot at ISIS.
That would take years, while ISIS metastasizes all over the Muslim world and we’ll be putting fires out for decades.
Once again the world turns to America, our blood, because quite frankly we are the only ones that can get it done.
The Russians sure get a lot of credit for attacking ISIS when in fact they’re predominately not attacking ISIS. They’re cynically leaving ISIS to assure they’re the only alternative to Assad to make sure Assad’s survival is the only viable one. Anyone who follows whom Russia bombs will see it’s not often ISIS. But you got to give Putin credit, like the communist he’s been most of his life, he’s run an excellent MISO program and fooled a lot of people.
