By a vote of 354-60 last week the U.S.
House of Representative proved that Imperial Washington is addicted to war, and
that the level of ignorance, bellicosity and mendacity among the people’s
representative has reach appalling heights.
Having never voted for Washington’s
pointless, illegal and destructive fomenting of Syria’s calamitous civil war in
the first place, as the constitution requires, the bipartisan congressional mob
actually had the gall to vote to keep US forces in the middle of a centuries
old Kurd/Turk conflict that has zero implications – and we mean as in none,
nichts and nada – for the security and safety of the American homeland.
The pretext, of course, is that the
ISIS caliphate will come roaring back to life absent the armed resistance of
the Kurdish-SDF forces positioned in Syria’s northeast quadrant; and that with
these bombed-out, impoverished, no-count towns, villages, farms and dusty
plains back under the black flag of ISIS, next up will be IEDs in the New York
City subways.
That’s just blatant claptrap. If Syria
becomes whole again, the Islamic State doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in the
hot place of reviving. And letting Syria become whole again was exactly the
purpose and consequence of Trump’s courageous decision to remove American
forces from the Syria/Turkey border.
