mazerunner Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 A major new report about the Syrian war raises the question of whether Washington ever cared about it in the first place. https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/03/the-united-states-is-done-caring-about-syria/ Quote
Rue Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 Well all the Trump supporters on this board should be happy to see the spambots come out of the wood work chirping about his abandoning Syria. What do you think? Is it Turkish? Iranian? Syrian? Russian? Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 The United States doesn't owe Syria a damn thing, and is not responsible for Syria's choices. Syria is getting exactly what it deserves after decades of causing misery in Lebanon. Payback is a bitch ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

The Kurds have gotten plenty from the U.S., but they are not NATO allies. Why isn't "ally" Canada fighting ISIL in Syria too....Canada owes the Kurds so much ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

U.S. strike aircraft provided plenty of "dick" for close air support to the Kurds, so why did Canada's CF-18s leave ? Where is "western ally" Canada in the fight against ISIL ? Oh, training police in Mali, of course ! (So many police to train in the world.) 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
