Why does the US support the white helmets?
Coverup old secrets?
Because of an al Qaeda sympathetic group in US State Dept, liberal NGO’s and clueless or complicit Congress that keep funding?
Out of support to UK ?
“Why does the US support the white helmets?”
I think mainly because they seem to be the least of the evils in a bad situation. Now, note I am not saying they are great guys or that many among them are not really bad guys.
But they’ve behaved in a relatively sane manner compared to the Iranians, ISIS, Assad, Russia, et al.
They’re actually encamped down the mountain (really more of a really big rocky hill) from the artillery sites on our side of the border and have behaved in a humane fashion.
Would I want them in Israel? No.
So I don’t blame you for not wanting them in Pittsburgh.
But would I be offended if they ended up the (relative) victors in Syria? No, they would probably end up be unfriendly, but not suicidally malevolent, neighbors.
I can work with that.
