    • the roles of saudi arabia, quatar, israel, NATO, US are completely interchangable. they all do the same bullshit. blame ISIS, fight government troops by arming ISIS and creating new brands and campaigns for them as “free/democratic rebels, FSA, white helmets, alsham”… or daesh. which basically does not distinguish sides but is a derogatory for arab muslim proletarian sectarianists. and they exist on all sides.

    • Raqqa might be a different kind of animal. ISIS’s ideology falls apart if they are ousted. They believe that they are the army at the end of the world that will bring Jesus back who will establish the global caliphate. With Raqqa’s demise so should their ideology be proven false. They never themselves thought they would make the caliphate without divine intervention

  1. “Oh the babies, the beautiful babies. The women and children too.” Donald J Trump, after the accused gasification of Syrian citizens by their government.
    I guess Assad didn’t get enough of them. No worries, Mad Dog has got you covered.
    May peace prevail

  2. During the Civil War in America, Sherman’s troops cut all transportation links, destroyed farms and killed the livestock. The navy blockaded ports all to starve the South into submission. During world war II the allies bombed Dresden so severely that 30,000 German civilians died in one night alone. War is hell and ISIS was staging its war from Raqqa with virtually no resistance.

  3. so he wanted to overthrow the Syrian regime and then he ended up with ISIS. now he’s complaining that the u.s. is bombing civilians while trying to get rid of Isis. at what point is it just better to live under the old regime?

  4. I’m embarrassed to be American. We need to impeach the grabber and Chief of the divided States of America Now and lock him and his cronies Up! he’s an embarrassment to America and a danger to the World!

  5. USA responsible for more killings than any other identifiable group. How many THOUSANDS since Trump took office? And we want to whine about refugees and terrorists.

  6. haha Propaganda Now. well in an earlier avatar I was an idiot leftist and even sent contributions to Propaganda Now. well, we all grow up. “Bomb Bomb Asad”, come on sing out loud Amy Cuntman.
