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
less war = less war spending
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
we should be more interested in maintaining the status quo
instead of continually shaking things up
How do we do that?
by not intervening
assad would have probably already won the war if we hadn't come in
We already have military and *pmcs* intervening already; what happens when we dip in these nations?
we've spent billions upon billions dropping bombs
total waste of money
the pmcs can do whatever they want
but the us government needs to stay out of it
ofc, but what happens when we remove them from the area?
*also we pay the pmcs with tax payer money*
not necessarily
Face it, we're stuck in the middle east: if we stay - it will be more years of crap, if we leave - hell will breaks loose and everything will be wasted
let russia deal with it, they're keen on it
So let russia expand its sphere of influence in the middle east?
Are you even an American?
obviously we've done a shit job at it and it's not economically worthwhile
their influence isn't worth as much as it used to be
we've revolutionized american oil production in the last 20 years
