That’s the problem, isn’t it? If we all act on “basic thought”, there’ll be no peace anywhere in the world.
Such is the fate of mankind. We are ruled by psychopaths, but that doesn't mean there is no good or bad. Good needs to be defended unfortunately by psychopaths too. The average person shuns violence.

Why can’t be just step back and look at what people in their own country wish for instead of promoting violence for the sake of our own interests?
I think the Syrian people made their wishes clear since 2011 but it fell on deaf ears sadly.

Why shouldn't he? He is from Turkey and wants what's in the best interest of his country. Of course he will be arguing for the righteousness of his position.

There is something to be said about backing salafists to support your -very- short term interests and it is a movie we have seen played so many times before with the same results, which shows that outside of avoiding direct confrontation with Russia, NATO and Israel, Turkish foreing policy in the region is dumb as fuck, specially when somebody else can play the exact same game within Turkey.

Very tentative proof if any so far. It's 2 videos both with low flying A-10s doing nothing. Could be recycled footage, could be current air patrols. No images of anything damaged by US.

It's also strange to fly so low when we know Syrian government and even many of the rebels have MANPADS. Makes me think this is peacetime/flying over friendlies.

I don't think US affords the domestic or foreign image hit they would incur from openly fighting the Syrian government. Russia is salivating over the prospect killing some American pilots, and the skies are very much locked down by their air/air defenses.

How would US government explain to the world and their own public that Russia shot down their planes that were helping ISIS? Same ISIS that were beheading US PoWs years ago btw.
It seems to have been confirmed that the US is doing Air Support for Al-Qaeda again
