In usual fashion Icemage throws out a statement that makes no sense. Do you have a scrabble bag you reach in and randomly piece together words that are loosely related to a topic?


You've been a consistent critic of major powers intervening in the affairs of sovereign nations. So if ISIS revives itself and Russia has to send a bunch of troops into Syria to take care of it, you'll be the first one to criticize the Russian overstep. Right?

Clickbait topic title. It's just like those hyperbolic headlines from a shitty news source.

I don't care about Russia sending troops to Syria as much as i care about the US sending troops somewhere. I don't live in Russia, i live in America. I don't pay taxes in Russia i pay taxes in America. The US wasting money on wars impacts me negatively, Russia spending money on wars doesn't impact me much. It sucks for the average Russian who sees a ton of internal issues yet their gov't is sending troops and weapons to foreign lands but that's their problem not mine. So why would i be critical of them sending troops there and wasting their resources? That's w.e. to me. On the other hand the US is my home, i'm building a life here, my kids will grow up here, so i will be critical of things that i see as negatively impacting that.

Trump pulled a few soldiers out of Syria and sent even more as mercenaries to Saudi Arabia. This isn’t about nonintervention. As much as you and I both wish it was, it isn’t.

You right wingers would be throwing shit at walls and screaming like rabid monkeys if Obama let Russia take over an American base.


You act as if a compound with sleeping facilities and a kitchen for 50 people is strategically important.
