Donald Trump manages to be more sensible on Syria than Hilary

[abaris]

We do have insight into the tendency to lump anti assad insurgency into the pile with isis....which seems like it might be a mistake, given how this whole thing went down.

WE DON'T KNOW WHO OR WHAT THEY ARE. That's the naked truth. The only faction we do know are the Kurds. They are also the only ones having significant success in pushing Isis back in certain regions. But they are fought by Erdogan right now. Another one not giving a shit over Isis but only over his only nationalist dick problems. But he, as opposed to Putin or Assad, is a valued Nato partner. That's why this madness doesn't make as many juicy headlines. The whole Syrian conflict is a first class excercise in cynicism and stupidity alike.

The point is, as usual, the outrage is very selective. It also doesn't cover Saudi Arabia bombing the shit out of Jemen whithout any regards to civilian structures and lives.
