the US was definitely involved in Syria well before Trump

Soldiers on the ground with airstrikes providing support is an afghanistan level of force

going way back to when they built that airstrip in raqqa

>any amount of soldiers is the same amount of soldiers
Okay

I saw that!

whats america doing in syria in the first place?
seems like a proxy war, but that didnt start with trump.
hardly a knee jerk reaction if you ask me

Just pointing out that your wording is lazy beeman

The US was not going to Afghanistan Syria under Trump, then Trump said they were going to, then he said he wouldnt

AHAHAHAHAHA

it started with the dual pipeline announcements

oh you're one of those "mission complete" guys

they didnt go the way the US wanted... and 2 weeks later "arab spring"

Que?

We never had any soldiers in afghanista after obama pulled em out right? he brought all the troops home yea?

I never said that

Who are you debating right now?

But we still do have soldiers in afghanistan

but when obama does it, its okay

:')

>we've now changed to an entirely different topic where my position has been fabricated wholesale

the options were to build a pipeline through Iraq, iran, syria out to sea ... or from Qatar, up through syria through turkey and then to europe

We can continue when you're finished being retarded

>my position has been discovered and shown to be ridiculous

the US and west in general wanted the Turkey route

Assad picked the Iran route

its ok, no one really cares that you think a world leader had a knee jerk reaction

pretty smart of assad
turkey just wants to take a slice of Syria

>2000 troops = 140,000 troops

>no your position is ridiculous

Never mind the swings in public opinion and new information that prior to those decisions

>new information prior
UN investigation teams weren't even in the country

You said boots on the ground and never specified an amount. You then said afghanistan levels of force without clarification and thats how the US effort in afghanistan started.

UN investigation teams?
oh, those are the only people that can get information... i get it

turkey already has taken a large portion in the north west

Also
>nobody cares
Goalpost shifted

Which is why it was limited to a single airstrike on a random airfield

pretty much anything west of Aleppo is basically turkey now.. in everything but name

>I'm going to assume that when you say Afghanistan levels of force you mean when they first got there, and that differences in intent mean nothing

Lel

>having a small force in an unstable country is the same as intending to destabilize the ruling body therein

>it's not knee jerk but I admitted it is but nobody cares XD
