I'm probably gonna get hate for this, but I think our presence in Syria (and too a far lesser degree in Iraq, specifically Sinjar and Iraqi Kurdistan) is completely justified. Not only is the revolution in North and East Syria/Rojava incredibly hopeful as a new stable and egalitarian Middle Eastern democracy, let alone it having some policy positions more radically egalitarian than most of Europe, but our actions in Syria and Sinjar have been some of the few almost unadulteratedly good military actions of my lifetime.
Between us and the YBS, we stopped a genocide in Sinjar, and im glad we'll be there to stop one again if ISIS ever resurfaces like it's currently trying to.
Quick question, based on that logic you must also feel that Russia's presence in Ukraine is completely justified too?
Let's not ask NAFO shills for logic, please.

This is the same ISIS that attacked Iran for being "Jewish", right?
Yes, I don't think I alluded anywhere in my comment to them being reasonable.
I'd say I alluded to quite the opposite by saying even the often war crime friendly US army is justified in keeping ISIS from having any territory every again.
