    “We have the people we need. We have the training that we need. We have the equipment that we need to fight and win," Lt Colonel Omar Minott, who is among the 1,500 to be deployed, said.

    Oh, so it’s completely different this time around. They’ve got it figured out now, everyone.

    The US really can’t leave Iraq and Syria alone. The Iraqi and Syrian resistance are justified.

    Biden seems to be doing what he claims he doesn’t want. This will turn into a regional war, I’m hopeful we can deliver the US a resounding defeat so that it can leave us alone. This is annoying and unwelcomed.

    It wouldn’t be a democrat administration without them sending their military to do war crimes in the middle east.

    I’m probably gonna get hate for this, but I think our presence in Syria (and too a far lesser degree in Iraq, specifically Sinjar and Iraqi Kurdistan) is completely justified. Not only is the revolution in North and East Syria/Rojava incredibly hopeful as a new stable and egalitarian Middle Eastern democracy, let alone it having some policy positions more radically egalitarian than most of Europe, but our actions in Syria and Sinjar have been some of the few almost unadulteratedly good military actions of my lifetime.

    Between us and the YBS, we stopped a genocide in Sinjar, and im glad we’ll be there to stop one again if ISIS ever resurfaces like it’s currently trying to.

      This is the same ISIS that attacked Iran for being “Jewish”, right?

        Yes, I don’t think I alluded anywhere in my comment to them being reasonable.

        I’d say I alluded to quite the opposite by saying even the often war crime friendly US army is justified in keeping ISIS from having any territory every again.
