    Good job using false choice to condition your support of Assad, the guy that was using to chemical weapons on his own people.

    And to think you bitch about a US President allowing weapons to be sold to someone doing a genocide, while you openly support someone who was actually commiting genocide. 11/10 mental gymnastics there.

    So, should the US be the world police or not?

      false choice

      alright, lets ask the geopolitics understander which faction had a realistic view of defeating ISIL and governing Syria? My whole point is no, the US shouldn’t. They shouldn’t have been arming al-Nusrah lol

        So what should the US do about al-Nursrah? Since we’re not the world police?

        Also, pretty sure that openly supporting a genocidal dictator is against the rules of this community.

        Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

        I would encourage you to delete, or clarify your support of Assad.

        Hypothetically, I should report you, per the rules as well…

        Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

        …but I think in earnest that you’ve gone too far down a rabbit hole and are saying things you don’t genuinely believe or fully understand the implications of.

        I’m going to go ahead and follow other part of that rule and ignore you now. Frankly, it’s probably what is best for you at this point.

          And what should the yankee empire have done about al-nusrah? If you weren’t the world police? How about nothing?? Don’t arm al-qaeda offshoots? Like what??

          Between al-nusrah, ISIL and assad, Assad is preferable, I don’t think there is anything controversial about that statement. You have absolutely no idea what’s going on however and are in no position to say what’s a rabbit hole and what isn’t. You just need to shield yourself from the fact that your hero Obama is a war criminal like the rest of them.

          Because even if his support for Al-nusrah were justified, and please remember we are talking about an al-qaeda offshoot here, there still is the genocide of the palestinians and indigenous americans which you keep just not mentioning because you know they’re inexcusable.
