   Let the UN ‘act’. They will impose new taxes on Syria. That will show them.

   The problem isn’t not noticing. The problem is that the “rebels” our government wants to put in power are worse criminals than the ones who are currently in power.

   Yes, we really really need to give weapons to those four guys.

   @Gary Kleppe

   “wants to put in power”?

   You could have actually made a good point if you stuck with who the rebels are rather than ending with an rwnj talking point.

   Hey, stopped clocks and all that. I really don’t know what RWNJs are saying about this stuff but it’s not impossible that they could be occasionally correct about something. No, I can’t think of any examples where they have, but….
   
   

   It’s nothing but the standard playbook: Train and arm a proxy force so that when they take over the country, they’ll do things the way you want. If that fails you consider other options like bombing or sending in your own troops, and if your guys eventually stop being on your side you start the whole process over again with somebody else. This has been going on for the past 50-60 years under administrations of both parties.
