what is progressive about wanting a no fly zone in Syria?

[DonCoquixote]

Not, this is not just an election issue, as many before 2016 were saying that we need to "help the rebels." I will say ths Hillary who did say "Assad must go."

But more important than that, what is worth risking that direct hot war with Russia?

1. Nothing.

Just as it was a sham in Libya. The plan for regime change in Syria has been no secret for years.

[NightWatcher]

2. That's about as progressive as destabilizing Libya based on your pal's advice

all because they wanted to conduct business there

[Oneironaut]

3. Because we want to help Al Qaeda defeat a stable government and ISIS

It's a certain level of madness and absurdity that can't be explained.

[Matrosov]

4. Same garbage as always

We buddy up with dictators who suit our interests and try to get rid of the ones that don't.

Saddam was the perfect example, a hero when he attacked Iran, and then a zero when he attacked Kuwait and threatened Saudi Arabia.

5. Nothing.

6. Weird, if you wanted to find ONE issue where Drumpf might get votes, this could be it.

It is almost as if that is what some folks want around here.

[Buzz Clik]

7. +1

[Hoyt]

8. Sure appears Trump is their long-term plan if Sanders isn't nominee.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

10. GOP is the plan, no matter who that is, for some. Personally I believe

Drumpf represents WWIII.

[Redwoods Red]

11. What a load of crap.

[DonCoquixote]

12. and what do you mean THERE?

This is NOT about Trump, or Sanders, or even Hillary. It is about the fact that we do not need war with Russia, especially as thanks to out being in debt to China, we might lose that one.

9. syria is a cluster fuck the u.s. needs to stay far away from.
