The casus belli was the impressment of american sailors into the british navy
there were lots of causes for them to declare war
that was one
it was estimated that over 10k american sailors had been impressed
because they had been fighting france for like over 20 years
and were low on manpower
Casus belli = war justification
there were also native americans with british weapons
ofc, there were indian raids sponsored by the british and such
and lots of conflicts
paranoia about the british arming the natives was also a big part of it
How does this relate to syria?
talking about how revolutions usually fail
or end up in a bad way
i mean
especially when you support terrorist organizations
we only really have reason to believe that those chemical attacks were literally staged by the rebel groups themselves
they are quite literally terrorists afterall and none of this is beyond them
Its more about middle eastern stability
If middle east = stable: america = less war
yes and wouldn't it make sense to support the most stable option
assad himself
he has an established state
and is the most secular option
he also has pretty broad support in the nation as a whole
most of the rebel factions only have local support
in particular regions
not any national appeal
the biggest threat to middle eastern stability is probably iran
the islamic wave of terrorism essentially began with the islamic revolution in iran
much like the communist revolution, it is iran's self proclaimed duty to export the islamic revolution across the world
Islam > christianity and all other religions
The problem is that it is extremely difficult to tell the american public that they are going to support a infamous dictator and such
most of the negative press is straight propaganda
Btw, greatest threat is qatar
> but lets talk about how syria can be dealt
we should be more interested in maintaining the status quo
instead of continually shaking things up
How do we do that?
by not intervening
