What did Assad do that irritated BHO/HRC/KERRY?
Was Assad exercising too much control in Syria?
What was the reasoning for the BHO/HRC/KERRY induced Arab Spring?
What drove GHWB & GWB to invade Iraq?
Was Kuwait guilty of horizontal drilling into Iraqi oil fields?
Did Gaddafi exercise too much control in Libya?
Did not Saddam Hussain keep Iran in check?
Was Afghanistan sheltering terrorists or were the terrorists exercusing too much control in Afghanistan?
Was all this invention aimed at collapsing the Israeli government?
With all our own oil reserves why should we intervene at all?
Did we invent colonialism on the Continent of Africa.
Are we perpetually at war for the sake of weapons and tactical development?
Why isn’t there a cabinet level historian?
“What did Assad do that irritated BHO/HRC/KERRY?”
You forgot to mention McCain.
And Syria refused to let Saudi Arabia and Qatar build a gas pipeline to Europe.
The pipeline was intended to degrade Russia’s economic clout in Europe because Russia is currently the #1 supplier of natural gas to Europe.
Syria, being a treaty ally of Russia, refused permission to build a pipeline that was intended to harm Russian interests.
Then Obama and that treasonous slimebag McCain (may he burn in hell) created ISIS, armed ISIS, and then started a civil war in Syria with the intent to overthrow Assad and then install a pipeline-friendly regime.
Instead they got ISIS which embraced Islamic fundamentalism and which was far worse than Assad ever was.
Then Obama and that treasonous slimebag McCain (may he burn in hell) did their best to provoke a war with Russia by threatening the Russian naval base in Syria and by repeatedly attacking Russian military units in Syria.
All for a damned gas pipeline whose ultimate intent wasn’t just the degradation of Russian influence in Europe but the facilitation of the power of the European Union as a federal government.
Now with the EU crumbling there’s not so much need for a pipeline that would reinforce the power of the EU.
Wow, lots of questions, I’ll try to answer them:
“What did Assad do that irritated BHO/HRC/KERRY?” He protected Christians to the point of not allowing a free vote, which would have resulted in the Christians being driven out and/or mass-killed. Just as Mubarak did in Egypt.
“Was Assad exercising too much control in Syria?” It’s his country, and he didn’t want it dismembered. The terrorists were armed by us and were not about to go down without a fight.
“What was the reasoning for the BHO/HRC/KERRY induced Arab Spring?” There were a bunch of dictators there that were not in the mood to lick the boots of Leftist American leaders telling them that they needed to allow a popular vote. That’s the only thing that I can come up with.
“What drove GHWB & GWB to invade Iraq?”
Obviously Kuwait invasion for 41, but also Iraq nukes and their Supergun. For 43, it was Saddam thumbing his nose at us requiring the inspection agreements he signed in 1991, to end that war.
“Was Kuwait guilty of horizontal drilling into Iraqi oil fields?” Probably.
“Did Gaddafi exercise too much control in Libya?” Gaddafi was keeping the radical Muslims in check...the Obama Administration, for whatever reason, simply did not like that.
“Did not Saddam Hussain keep Iran in check?”
Pretty much.
“Was Afghanistan sheltering terrorists or were the terrorists exercusing too much control in Afghanistan?” Both. The government there didn’t mind the terrorists, as they helped in maintaining power, but the terrorists also OWNED the land where they operated (and still do, and that extends well into Pakistan).
“Was all this invention aimed at collapsing the Israeli government?” If you mean driving Bibi from power, no if anything, this strengthened him (having an elevated external threat). If you mean having Israel destroyed by its neighbors, that’s what the Iran deal was for.
“With all our own oil reserves why should we intervene at all?” Good question at this point, but 10 years ago it wasn’t clear which way we were going. And then there is always the American Left, ready at a moment’s notice to turn the clock WAY BACK on domestic drilling.
“Did we invent colonialism on the Continent of Africa.” Not sure who ‘we’ is, but obviously Europe was there first. Colonialism will always take place when there is a huge mismatch in development between societies and the backwards society has something to offer, be it treasure or slaves.
“Are we perpetually at war for the sake of weapons and tactical development?” No, I never bought that argument. We’re at war these days because a bunch of IDIOTS, from both sides of the aisle, cannot seem to get it through their THICK HEADS that Tribal societies cannot be overnight-converted to Jeffersonian Republics by dropping a few bombs and sending in a few troops with a piece of paper for them (i.e., a Constitution).
“Why isn’t there a cabinet level historian?”
Not sure it would add anything as historians have the same types of political agendas as everyone else.
Houses of Qatar and Saud. They say jump, and the deep state says how high. We were being governed by a bunch of whores who ran up a debt of 22 trillion.
