    Why? Syria didn’t do shit to us. Why the fuck are we there? Last tiem I checked Syria isn’t the United States.

    I want to know further how it is lawful orders to follow to be there and why there isn’t resistance from our leaders? But AyyyyyOC just defers to good-morning “party leadership” about these things qnd flattened-bernie is patheticly not using a bully pulpit. He makes speeches but he doesn’t use the power.

    Honestly, this decision is a little bit terrifying. What would the calculus be to do this? Possibly testing out new battlefield tech?

    Preventing Russian strategic expansion in the theatre might be a reason, but given China, this feels like a bad use of resources especially given US track record. So either US absolutely needs the Syria position for it’s coming conflict with China or US has Intel that it will somehow dominate in this theatre in a way that Russia is unaware of.

    What other options am I missing?
