There's no happy ending in that region. We should just stay out. I'm speaking from 3 years of experience in theater and many more working this problem set from a very high perspective
One campaign promise that Trump is sticking to Air strikes on Isis-held Mosul 'leave 230 civilians dead', reports local media US Central Command says it is researching reports of extensive loss of civilian life in third such alleged incident in recent weeks
I mentioned this in the Iraq War thread, but Iraq is still a gdamn mess. Every village the reporter traveled to in the north looked like the picture in the article. We f#cked that region up good.
Remember when Americans were complaining about Russia bombing Aleppo like this? As a country we have zero self awareness when it comes to bombing the f**k out of brown people.
Sure as hell won't be seeing the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower or Brandenburg Gate lit up in the Iraqi flag.
Question for those in the know -- Is our current Syria policy any different than that of December 2016?
