I just get frustrated with all my fellow Americans who buy into the government narrative that we're the good guys and they're the bad. There seems to be no more critical thinking in this country anymore.
Bad guys: using chemicals to wipe out residents in suburbs

Good guys: bombing those chemical weapons

America armed and funded the SDF. Nobody beheaded there. Just flying their own flags and running their part of Syria without fear of secret police kidnapping them. You are mixing up fact with fiction...with some Russian propaganda thrown in.

The SDF is an umbrella term the encompasses many terrorist groups (including the one I attacked a link to) and some Kurds.

the rest of your response has no content in it so there is nothing else for me to say.

Nobody is pure as soon as they now there's a war somewhere.

Russia should start by giving back some lands of Ukraine before saying USA France and Uk act like hooligans.

But these three do act like hooligans. Getting into a business that isn't theirs. OTH, when they don't move, everyone is crazy, when they move everyone is crazy.

There's a war of propaganda, be happy, Syria announced that 2/3 of the cruise missiles where destroyed and 3 people wounded. Nobody killed by these 100 cruise missiles. Cool.

Yemen then, what about the poor Yemen that nobody cares about?
But nobody will attack Saudi Arabia because it's a strategic ally for multiple reasons, more than Yemen.
Even China, providing North Korea for years and ready to invade Taiwan should sh*t *p. The budget of the army of China is exploding, its not to sell flowers.

And if the pure S. Koreans and Japaneses are fair and defenders of the 'good' then they can save Yemen themselves. Then can help Bachar. After all, not moving = you accept what's happening. Else you just chut.

Basically everyone should just sh*t *p because everyone is just obeying to their interests and aren't as pure as they say. Behind every war are businesses and political interests.

Those who aren't happy about it are free to leave this world of humans, ruled by humans, that just reflect how bad humans are.

'snow-white' countries don't exist. Because clean wars are good for dreamers.

Still, Russia waving its arms because West is doing in Syria what they did in Donbass (give weapons to rebels) is really funny.
I would be on the Russian side if they didn't steal Crimea.
Oups, they did.

Who's your model Winterfall? What country could say f*** you all and would be legit to do so?

You can remove already all of those who are aware of the multiple dramas around the world, saying 'oh, that's bad, stop' and that's all.
You can remove agressors, USA France UK Russia... China? Let's see what happens if Taiwan decides to be independent. Let's see if China is terrible.

I am not nearly as concerned about the morality or immorality of these strikes as I am about their potential role in an escalation of tensions with Russia.
