OT Coup in progress in Syria right now

I hope the Iranian people can overthrow their theocracy. Then there will be peace in the mid east.

That would be a start, But you've still got Saudi Arabia funding extremist educations throughout the Middle East

He didn’t. That was disproven years ago. Every indication points to…you guessed it, US backed rebels.

The jonnyboy Doctrine: No matter what happens, anywhere in the world, it is 100% the fault of the USA.

At least until the next scheduled doctrinal update on Jan. 20th.

And your doctrine is whatever the state department’s doctrine happens to be at the given time of discussion.

They know far more about any given current situation than either you or me.

They have access to as many relevant facts as are currently available. We don't.

That doesn't mean they are making the right decisions - but I'm not at all interested in replacing expert opinion with internet crank opinion.

Axios confirmed an American who had been missing and imprisoned in Syria for several months has been located and freed.

The American in prison was yet another foreign "native" soldier. The foreign Muslim fighters hate Assad's government for being secular (that means nonreligious, like the U.S.), and will replace it with a Religious Right Muslim government.

Mercenaries travel, looking for adventure and high pay, e.g. Afghanistan in the 80s and Libya 10 years ago. Western intelligence funds these wars to overthrow any 3rd-world countries which get too socially advanced.

I'll start you a GoFumdMe if you want to fight in Syria.

Why would I go fund you? I'm not familiar with these modern terms. I'm still figuring out how to pronounce "meme."
