That's right, the US government gave them guns so that the population that was getting ass-raped every day, in every conceivable way, were able to defend themselves. You see, Bashar Al-Assad and his dad ran Syria like a brutal Peruvian jail, decade after decade. And now the other side has guns and they're on Oh-shit! mode because The Ripper is looking for revenge.
So, spare me the BS which comes with the US giving the others guns. We've just evened things out.
yeh course, the US fuelled a civil war to help the poor civilians in Syria, same way it helped to save the civilians in Libya and free the Iraqis from the evil Sadam....
all of those countries are now complete anarchic basket cases....none of those countries had any more brutal regimes than saudi arabia, you think that regime tolerates any kind of dissent? yet they are somehow bosom buddies with the west, while we have to attack these other oppressive regimes?
it's utter bollox and hypocrisy....the US destabilised the region for political/financial gain only, had not a single thing to do with helping civilians and it couldn't give a sht about the human suffering that has been caused.
oh yes the US loves "evening things out".....that why it keeps funding the Israelis to "ass rape" the Palestinians isn't it.
no disrespect to any american person, but the US state is the root of all evil in the world today.
