    • but yes, you're correctGnash
    • I'm really curious, I can't find much info on these Arab rebels who are in this accidentally bombed Coalition. I have no earthly idea why we overthere exceptrobotron3k
    • maybe the UN Security Council got us into it. Obama jump started it in 2011 but he just ignored it after, now it's a big ugly pimple.robotron3k
    • you're wrong robo, we've been involved and supporting rebel groups since the fighting began, with maybe one lull after the chemical weapons disarmament.sarahfailin
    • usa dropped over 12,000 bombs on syria in 2016Gnash
    • Most of those were aimed at ISIS though.yuekit
    • We shouldn't be there Sarahfallin, even Obama admits Syria was his biggest fuck up.robotron3k
    • These two countries will mistakenly start 3rd world war there. enough is enoughBeeswax
    • it's already a proxy war between Russia and the US. neither wants the war on/near their home soil, so they fight it through other pre-existing conflictsBuddhaHat
