Here We Go: Swamp Rats Start Laying the Groundwork for Sending U.S. Troops Into Syria
PJ Media ^ | 11/15/20 | Robert Spencer

If Donald Trump doesn’t take the Oath of Office on January 20, 2021, one principal but little-noted reason for this may be that he crossed one of the most powerful and least accountable forces in the nation: the military-industrial complex. As Trump said last September, “the top people in the Pentagon…want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy. But we’re getting out of the endless wars, you know how we’re doing.” Now, however, that Joe Biden has been anointed “President-elect” by the establishment media, the propaganda is already starting to get us back into one of those endless wars, in Syria.

These people are despicable. They don't care how many or our people die or are maimed. Our troops are becoming unpaid mercenaries.

I think you mean “poorly paid mercenaries”.

Syria has nothing to do with US interests.

So does Biden get next year's Nobel Peace Prize or will they hold a special year 2020.5 presentation for him alone?

Prolly should be more concerned with doing some hard time in Guantanamo.

Wait for it. There has to be at least one FReeper out there who will explain (FReepsplain) how and why you are wrong about that.

And, of course, any dissent will be met with the gratuitous, "Politics ends at the waters edge" bilge.

Any takers?

The neocons are using Syria as a proxy war of US vs Russia
And to lesser extent, Iran

The Left is so inept at international relations, they’ll get
us into a serious shooting war.

Twenty-one years ago, while sitting at the obstetrician’s office waiting for my wife to get her examination, I read an article about a plan by certain elements among the powers-that-be to fight a series of wars in the Mid-East in order create a Pax America in the region and pacify it and make it safe for global trade, among other things.

Well?

And hasn’t it been a smashing success?

Prophetic scripture has nothing positive forecast for Damascus. Nothing but smoking rubble. We’ve got nothing there for us.

Collectivists do love war.

Robert Spencer has been towing the communist Putin line for a number of years, now I highly suspect that the Russian KBG/FSB Olgrich money front groups bought him off like a number of other pundits who were once excellent in national security and on national security issues butbbhas let hyper partisanship and greed clout their very own judgements.
These Neo Putnist nationalists populist traitors, pos ought to be shot and hung from the gallows in going against American national security interests while allowing for the expansion of islamic fascism and the communist Neo Soviet Union of Russia.

*** Russia has beautiful women and therefor should be an ally. ***

Syria does, too. But neither of them has this:

Russia and Syria must be so jealous of our Country.

The Military Industry Complex at work. You can’t build as many weapons if you don’t use the ones previously built.
