Is the U.S. indeed in the Syrian Civil War “for the long term”?
If so, who made that fateful decision for this republic?
U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley confirmed Sunday there would be no drawdown of the 2,000 U.S. troops in Syria, until three objectives were reached. We must fully defeat ISIS, ensure chemical weapons will not again be used by Bashar al-Assad and maintain the ability to watch Iran.
This is not Vietnam all over again, when neither Russia nor China attacked US forces directly. It is more like 1973 when Russia had whole armoured divisions in the air on AN22s headed for Suez to crush Israeli forces — Nixon and Kissinger made a deal with Brezhnev at the very last moment just before he nuked Israel and shoved their army into the canal.. This time Russia and Iran can sink US aircraft carriers, torpedo their submarines and shoot down their bombers as well as intercept their incoming missiles. Only such massive defeats will destroy the US war party
