Say what?
So you actually buy into the lies about us being in Syria to defeat is is?
A nuclear war is guaranteed to happen eventually. No other future is possible now.
“So you actually buy into the lies about us being in Syria to defeat is is?”
You tell me. Why are we there?
Bravo. Said something similar recently.its all lies and possibly about pipelines.
I am sure that is a small part of it. But I can guarantee you defeating ISIS is the major part.
Lot’s of tinfoil hats in this thread.
Every war is sold to the public with lies, often developed by marketing companies. The demonizing of Russia is yet another prelude to war. You are incredibly naive if you believe what you are being told. A book I recommend is called The Ruses of War by John Quigley.
You must have bought two tinfoil hats. I do agree that there are other things on the table. ISIS was controlling a lot of the oil production and Syria was buying some of it. So was Turkey. However for now I believe President Trump is concentrating on defeating ISIS.
Dude — ISIS didn’t even exist until the U.S. went over there and toppled the brutal dictators who kept those mutants under control.
You know, very few weapons were made not to be used.
It’s scary.
