December 25, 2024Dec 25 On 12/11/2024 at 7:27 AM, Dave Moss said: I wasn’t really rooting for a side in the civil war, but between brutal dictator supported by Putin and Iran and the Al Qaeda folks I was probably more with Al Qaeda. You’re clearly a Putin guy so you wanted Assad to win. I think there’s some back story and context i might be missing…but i have quite a bit of first hand eyes on exposure to chunks of the civil war and the atrocities. Assad, turtling up and bailing is probably the worst thing that could have happened. Honestly 100 more Assad chem attacks is about equal to what happened the last time there was a power vacuum. The Syrian Civil War thread should be resurrected at this point, because it’s probably going to get very very very bad there soon.

That 2017 referendum really changed that area of the world. Unironically, i got bombed by the Turkish AF in Syria that day too (first of 4 times at a known US base).
January 9Jan 9 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvne94v1rdo Quote The US Department of State has notified Congress of a planned $8bn (£6.4bn) arms sale to Israel, an American official has confirmed to the BBC. The weapons consignment, which needs approval from House and Senate committees, includes missiles, shells and other munitions. The move comes just over a fortnight before President Joe Biden leaves office. Washington has rejected calls to suspend military backing for Israel because of the number of civilians killed during the war in Gaza. In August, the US approved the sale of $20bn in fighter jets and other military equipment to Israel. The latest planned shipment contains air-to-air missiles, Hellfire missiles, artillery shells and bombs, the US official said. A source familiar with the sale told the BBC on Saturday: "The president has made clear Israel has a right to defend its citizens, consistent with international law and international humanitarian law, and to deter aggression from Iran and its proxy organisations. "We will continue to provide the capabilities necessary for Israel's defence." Biden has often described US support for Israel as iron-clad. The US is by far the biggest supplier of arms to Israel, having helped it build one of the most technologically sophisticated militaries in the world. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the US accounted for 69% of Israel's imports of major conventional arms between 2019 and 2023.
