87% of Syrians are Muslim. He trained Jihadist in Syria and sent them to kill Americans in Iraq...
Assad himself is Muslim. Same as Sadaam. Same as Mubarak. Same as Ghadaffi. Doing the same kind of stupid terrorist shit his colleagues were doing for decades.
That does not make Assad or any of his dead colleagues Islamists wanting to replace their rule with an Islamic Caliphate run by Imam's.
Do you really want to compare the two?
You said Trump blowing up a few buildings was a 'tiny factor'. I simply made the point that if anyone blows up our buildings - we would consider it an act of war. Same as our allies.
Are we stupid enough to think Syria and her allies do not consider our action there the same thing - since now we have taken a side against the existing ruler there?
See above... I wasn't saying how Syria/Russia viewed it.
I was, because it is idiotic to think there are not going to be consequences for what was done when Russia has been there on the ground and in the air since long before Trump took office.
I'm just saying taking out a few buildings with few if any people in them is not a very effect military move in an ongoing war.
Then why do it if you do not want to make a military declaration of whose side you are taking in an internal conflict where intel cannot be trusted?
Yes, but without Russian bases I believe. Russian bases are a new feature (I could be wrong).
Since Obama. Not Trump. Obama's scribble red line and his ongoing efforts to replace Assad with ISIS and the Caliphate sent Russia right on in there to protect their proxy.
In fact, if memory serves, Russia was making a mockery of Obama's 'war on ISIL'. I think they administered more damage to ISIS in a week than Obama did in over a year there.
