A lot of that has to do with a belief in the Just World Fallacy. When faced with injustice, we blame the victim so we feel better.

I spend a lot of time in consumer research. Can confirm.

lol yeah that poster was really locked into making a bunch of great points there. super worthwhile debate that i just wrecked by treating him like a troll.

Cool story. Have fun drowning in the Kool Aid there Chad.

I think the most obvious answer is to press our… “allies”… into doing more. Syria is surrounded by Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Iraq… All countries that are either our military allies or at least our operational allies. Plus, add SA into the mix and I just wonder why is America acting unilaterally in this? Why is this our…

Well its either that or a ground war and regime change. Which hasn’t worked out too well for us recently.

You’re right that we don’t know exactly how consequential this particular strike will be, but we know the base was heavily used, so either the regime incurs the cost of shifting its operations elsewhere, or launches fewer attacks overall, thus “diminishes.”

1/ We’re not ending this war. Assad could give a fuck that we lobbed a couple bombs over at him. He already bombed Khan Shaykhun again. Like 3 hours after our airstrikes. This strike was 100% for show… Read about it in the write up above here. It did nothing. We fucking called Russia before hand. You think that sends…

lol aw. that’s really sad man.

lol what a lying piece of shit. can’t work the internet, can you? fucking turd. have a great weekend turd!

Yeah. That was the joke.

lol Fake News!

Nope. You might think that, but that’s cause you dumb.

You also star your own posts. Because you know you’re so fucking dumb that no one else will.

lol that’s what I thought Boris. Can’t prove shit wrong, can’t string together a coherent train of thought, can’t justify your beliefs and can’t bother to be even remotely informed.

Yeah or maybe we could have done something better to help the people of Syria.

Most of your comment is just false.

Dammit don’t even get me started on that shit.

Nope. Thanks for stopping by though Boris. Don’t forget to kill moose and squirrel on your way out the door!

Sure thing Chad.
