US airstrikes in Syria

Bill.in.PA · 2023-04-13T00:15:38.351Z

The US was not able to defeat the camel herders in Afghanistan or the rice farmers in Vietnam after more than a decade of war.

From what I see, Russia is winning a war of attrition in Ukraine. Time is on its side, so there is no hurry.

The US knows that its surface ships could be sunk within hours of a serious war with Russia or China. The days of the US Navy bombing nations with impunity are rapidly coming to an end.

You’re probably missing the irony of your statement, but Russia couldn’t beat those camel herders and China couldn’t beat those rice farmers. Not sure if you get how funny that is. What I do know is that Russia can’t control the airspace over Ukraine because of the Ukrainian air force and air defense. And their ships can’t get close to Ukraine’s Black Sea coast. Over a year later. That Russia is digging trenches to defend territory in anticipation of Ukraine’s counter offensive that we all know is coming. Yeah, don’t remember the US doing that in Afghanistan.

When was the last war that the US actually won?

In 2011, Obama announced that Assad must go. More than a decade later, Assad is still in office, while the western allies who demanded his departure are long gone.

Of course, war-forever in Syria may have been the goal as it was in Afghanistan.

The US-made missiles have been attacking Russian ships using US targeting information. The only thing that has been Ukrainian about the attacks have been the finger on the button.

The same thing can happen in Syria.

And US made Stingers shot down Russian helicopters in Afghanistan. So what?

But again, and I think this is important and something that Bill refuses to acknowledge. US missiles didn’t take out the Moskva. Ukrainian Neptunes did. The ones they designed and manufactured. So his claim that all Ukrainians did was push the button is an absolutely incorrect statement. Not that it matters here for some reason.

Report: Biden Drone Killed Bricklayer Father of 10, Not Al-Qaeda Terrorist

A report indicates U.S. military officials are now walking back claims a recent Syria drone strike killed an al-Qaeda terrorist,

Bill.in.PA · 2023-05-20T13:22:21.332Z

Situation normal. The only thing that is unusual is admission that the drone strike hit the wrong target.

Meanwhile, there are reports of negotiations between the US and Syrian governments. That is a good start.

It is as if the government needs more terrorist threats to justify universal surveillance.

I didn’t take as fact the initial reports of who they say they killed.

I don’t take as fact the current reports of who they say they killed (or didn’t kill.)

Bill.in.PA · 2023-05-20T15:46:38.336Z

I see no incentive for US officials to admit that they hit the wrong target unless there was very good evidence that they did. The report is credible.

On the other hand, the man hit by the drone may have been a farmer instead of a bricklayer.

Here's to feeling good all the time. :

Cratic3947:

Who ever runs the Biden admin sure likes war. We need to end the 2001 war on terror. It’s 22 years later. Are we working on a 100 years war or something?

The only reason we are there is because the FBI and CIA failed to protect US from the 9/11 attacks. They were tipped off. They failed and got way too much power as a reward for failure.

Then they lied about WMD’s and that got us into Syria.

Strategic air strikes <> war. Trump did plenty of that as well.

Because we were at war when he entered office… Biden is a Neocon but Trump is not…

It looks like US occupation forces in Syria will see more attacks:

In an extensive interview with Spanish daily El Mundo, the Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, said that attacking US positions in West Asia is “essential” to stop the mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza due to the unfettered support given by Washington to Tel Aviv.

“It is the [western] axis that supports the occupation, legitimizes the murder of children and women, the destruction of hospitals, and grants immunity to Israel to continue its massacres. The US is supporting these massacres, and that is why attacking the US is essential to stop the aggression against Gaza,” Qassem said in the interview published on 14 November.
