Who really believes US air strike on syrian army positions was a mistake?

[Neural Network]

As you know (or you don't know because you are an ignorant netflix-zombie or Obama/Hillary bot), US jets attacked syrian army positions in the city of Deir Ezzor killing about 80 troops. The air strike allowed ISIS to advance and capture strategic mountain and other areas. Deir Ezzor has been under ISIS siege for more than a year now but still remains one of the strongholds of Syrian government in Eastern Syria.

 

 

"An unfortunate mistake"?

"A deliberate act of terrorism to help ISIS buddies"?

 

Btw some of you might have been irritated by the fact that I mentioned Obama/Hillary bots up there. That's because presidents and state secretaries from dem party finally passing (or at least matching) their counterparts from rep party in the numbers of wars and conflicts instigated against other sovereign countries. On top that, looking at their record, democratic US governments are more intended to helping and aiding jihadist and muslim terrorist forces than gop US governments do.

Blood and suffering resulted from democratic US government >= Blood and suffering resulted from republican US government. Do yo agree?

Now those who live in the United States of Terrorism please tell me are your mass media (CNN, CBS, CNBC, NBC blah blah blah) reporting this case? If so, how often?

It's really disgusting what USA did

[taebb]

america has betrayed every middle eastern country that isn't saudi time and time again. this is just the latest incident in a long list of atrocities.

I don't see what good this does for America, if ISIS advances won't that just cause more problems in the long run

they think assad is a bigger threat, gotten all their priorities wrong.

[MimiB]

USA always going to the wrong direction this is why no one trust their foreign policy 

[victaorious]

I wonder what they want in Syria that they are doing this, because it is 100 percent intentional

It's most likely retaliation.

 

Russian aircraft on June 16 dropped cluster bombs on a New Syrian Army unit garrisoned at a base in al-Tanf, a remote desert outpost where the borders of Iraq, Syria and Jordan meet.

The New Syrian Army unit is a product of the American-backed train-and-equip program. Its mission is to fight Islamic State militants in Syria and to avoid confrontation with forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Al Assad. 

The Russians provided no explanation for the strike, which violated the “memorandum of understanding†between the U.S. and Russia that was put in place last year, and designed to maintain flight safety and avoid misunderstandings as the two major militaries share the same airspace and support different factions of the multi-sided civil war.

 

Not justifying it, but this is what people do when in wars like this.  Same with Quds forces killing Americans during Iraq Occupation in retaliatory attacks.  If you kill some black ops forces, there is an expectation of retaliation.

The US has a long history of friendly fire and unintentionally attacking the wrong targets in war. It happens when you drop as many bombs as the US does. It could have been intentional but it's not implausible that it was a mistake.

funny. you usually dont see hillary supporters in this kind of threads while they swamp trump threads.

It's because providing facts doesn't do any good with you people. But anyway. Of course it was a mistake. The strike ceased immediately when our Russian counterparts let us know that we had the wrong target. We have had other instances where incorrect targets were hit. The fact that this was a manned strike and not drone attacks raises the odds of human error. Unfortunately there is probably some Air Force Captain somewhere that screwed up the coordinates and he has the break down of tenuous progress in the region on his hands. The US's number one military commitment right now is the destruction of ISIS. 

[toplips]

wonder why even the WORLD cannot beat ISIS?

[Kinyobi No Asa]

Because US is the one who created ISIS.

by what? supporting those so-called moderate rebels, who is another extreme terrorist group like isis?  ah, fighting terrorists by empowering another terrorists...whose brilliant idea was that?

USA kicked out Saddam's entire army in kuwait and killed thousands of them IN JUST 3 DAYS in what was known was the brutal highway of death yet 2yrs later they cant beat a bunch of goat fuckers...lol

and kill gaddafi and guess what libya is still a shithole infested with isis and other terrorist parasites.

I feel like you are confusing two bits of foreign policy. At the beginning of the Syrian civil war, it was indeed a policy to arm the rebels, because the calculation was that the Assad regime was committing various atrocities against its own people. Since the advent of ISIS the focus has been on using all relevant resources on defeating them. Taking all of this in to account, it simply makes no sense to think that we would intentionally bomb Syrian government forces.

 

I don't agree with every bit of the current strategy, in fact I think history shows that US attempts to topple even the most heinous of regimes results in the destabilization of the region.

That's what I mean, this only further destabilized the region. Saddam Hussein was a bad man, but the region wasn't rife for takeover by terrorists, His iron fist was good for the world, and was an unfortunate reality for the people of Iraq. Bush's decision to invade Iraq started this whole mess and now the best we can do is try to pick up the pieces.

[Oltre Luna]

Even if it was a "mistake" it doesn't make it less of a tragedy

you have no idea what im talking about

 

this is a decade before the iraq war

 

US killed THOUSANDS of soldiers in 3 days using only airstrikes, yet they cant beat isis after 3 years

 

if you ever intellectually honest with yourself you'd admit theyre true intention is to try to control isis

Ok you weren't clear about what conflict you were referring to. The Gulf water in the 90s was traditional fighting against one nation's army. The US military is exceptional at that, so there was no contest. ISIS is completely different. We are fighting ideas rather than soldiers for the most part, and for every segment of ISIS we destroy, 2 more pop up.
