Condiv posted:this exactly. if you're a warmongering dem right now you're wishing evil upon the world because our commander in chief will not make any country he enters better. he's making GBS threads ours up already, and if you let him nation build he's gonna make lovely horrific nations and jared kushner's gonna be the president for life of one of them There's a reasonable chance he won't make anything worse in Syria because he'll accidentally invade West Lebanon instead, though. (Yes, I mean the small town in Ohio. They know why.)

I think Adam Curtis' central theme about the failure of liberal politics giving rise to extremism, both in the arab and republican worlds, are salient and worth paying attention to. I also like how he uses found footage to do it. The way he tells those stories though sometimes spirals out of control and are difficult to follow. If you haven't, you should listen to his interview on chapo.

mormonpartyboat posted:people shouting loudly against gun rights without coming up with some doublespeak euphemism like "pro-life" will never stop being funny "Pro life" is actually a good alternative term for gun control! It doesnt really work well for anti-abortion people because more women die when abortion is outlawed, plus once the baby is born most bible humpers dgaf about it any more.

Whenever people say Hillary is "the most qualified person in history" to run I laugh at how John Kerry has all of her accomplishments and more. Senator, War Hero, Lt. Governor, Sect of State, lost to a very beatable Republican.

It is incredibly baffling how a veteran with goddamn purple hearts earned in a foreign theater somehow lost the war hero narrative to a dude who got a cushy air national guard job from his dad that he didnt even show up for. Thats loving peak Democrat.

Christ I get stuck in a timelock for a few days and the thread goes to total poo poo. From what I've seen in reports/on the news (must be fake) is 1) Craters in the city that was attacked 2) flight paths from the airfield. 3) US pre-warned Russia and didn't hit the Russian occupied parts of the airfield. Pretty open and shut for a retaliation especially the investment and promises the US have already made in the region. With the pre-warning of Russia it's likely that nothing other than the inconvenience of that military base was experienced as a message along with a superficial accomplishment of reducing the chances that field will be used in another attack. The thing I'm most disappointed about those arguing against doing the strikes in the first place is no one loving brought up "Maybe the UN should've done something/be doing something" as that's the most valid argument against it with the evidence provided. I'm mostly seeing pointless arguments and I even saw a 'Bernie bad'  I'm not advocating for wars and do not want another quagmire, but it seems like yall just loving making this thread a quagmire in itself arguing about it and it's hilariously sad.

Most of the problem I have with the arguments are it pre-assuming war from the strikes.
