JoeBiden just bombed Syria

[squatz1]

It's hard to remember all the strikes that Trump did but I doubt he did one this early.

Trump did exactly one strike, and that was in response to a gas attack in April 2017. Trump also ordered a drone strike to kill an Iranian general.

To be fair to Biden, Iranian forces (and proxy forces) have been attacking US troops and assets recently.

I'm assuming you mean largely public strikes? Not just a drone strike or something along those lines in general -- as the media reports that Donald Trumps drone strikes far exceeds Obama numbers https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2019/5/8/18619206/under-donald-trump-drone-strikes-far-exceed-obama-s-numbers

Still not sure what the fuck we're doing in all these other countries when our own people are suffering. But nothing changed under Trump and he was the one pushing that line of thought for a little while.

The title of this thread evokes an image of Sleepy Joe piloting a B-52 bomber at low altitude over Syria and casually dropping bombs on schools and hospitals. Which as far as I know is not what actually happened.

I am not getting this image that the president himself is doing the bombing. We all know that the bombing occured under Bush, Obama, Trump and now Biden. To assume that anything would be changing with a new president is utopic in my opinion. The war in the middle east is still ongoing, with or without the intervention of the USA. And since the Russians are there too why shouldn't be the Biden and his troops? All these policies can't bechanged overnight.

You can imagine Obama would have loved to cover up civilian deaths by drones? You mean like Trump actually did?

Yes.

In other news, Joe Biden apparently called off a strike because civilians were in the near area. https://nypost.com/2021/03/04/biden-reportedly-called-off-second-airstrike-after-children-seen-nearby/

This sounds quite flattering, but it should be the standard that the US doesn't airstrike innocent civilians. Should we really credit politicians for such a low bar? Especially when the US has a long history of destabilizing nations and killing innocent people?

What business do the United States have in Syria again? What kind of threat Syria is to USA? People talk like bombings were unreasonable. Why are they even there? Syria has no nukes. They cannot invade the United States.

I'll tell you why...

Syria is actually an independent (or was since they are now in bed with the Russians) country that refused to take orders from the U.S. They said "No."

Not even the EU countries can say "No." to the United States.  That is how ballsy Assad is. (or was)

Yes.

Then why didn't he do it? Trump did it. So what stopped Obama from covering up civilian deaths if he secretly wanted to? Makes absolutely no sense.

^^^ The difference is the level of fear in the people. Nowadays we have Covid. The people are running around loose with Covid fear, or fear of law enforcement reacting to Covid restrictions, if they DON'T have Covid fear.

Syria? It's over there. But we have bigger fish to fry right in our own little neighborhood. If we can finally figure this Covid thing out, maybe THEN we'll get mad at the President.

Obama couldn't have gotten away with it. The people weren't Covid scared back then.

Syria is not the problem, the neighboring country is. The title is misleading where in fact, he is targeting the iranian militia in the border of syria and iraq. Iranian militia is moving their forces to syria, it is like syria is the battle ground for their assault. And if you think about it, they bombed it in the border so they probably negating the invasion of this militia towards syria.

I am sure most people will think that his actions are actions that should be taken by a US president for global peace.

“BREAKING: @JoeBiden just bombed Syria.
American imperialism rages on no matter which party is in power.”

    This is inhuman it’s high time we stop seeing things like this to be normal and accurate syria 🇸🇾 is an independent country why the bombing 💣 what’s there offense?  Has it deteriorated to this point and level that the Media couldn’t come out to say and narrate what happened in news hubs and social media just as they did to the previous president Donald Trump. For the fact they’re Arab nations doesn’t mean they’re terrorist organizations, for a fact there hasn’t been any life threatening issues arising neither any threat of any kind issued to the United States 🇺🇸 no strike was made anywhere, no US soldier was killed or injured. Joe should be sued for genocide.

This could be a call for war. He is only but few months old as the US president. There are better ways of resolving dispute other than violence. What should we be expecting,would Syria revenge? Even if the do what would be their own strategy as a revenge . Going by what could result to this attack this might end in a bloody civil war that would attract other loyalist of both countries to engage in a war that would eventually shake the planet
