It wasn't directly in Damascus but in the outskirts, according to some sources 2 Irani soldier have been killed during the attack.

Anyone who was against Syrian sovereignty is either an imperialist, uncle Tom, and or an idiot. Wtf do they think was the goal of weakening Syria? Freedom, gtfoh with that bullshit. The sooner we all realize none of these imperialists are acting in good faith, the sooner we stop wasting time on bullshit.

I know we can't effect anything, but at least it would save us time countering this trash by just dismissing it. Being condescendingly dismissive is valid.

They sadly feel they can do what they want and that's probably true within reason. Iran isn't getting involved because the US is right there and they don't want to be bombed and have to deal with getting into a long-lasting war any more than the US does at this point. Same with other regional powers. They make statements in support of Palestine, draw red lines, and then yank the lines back a little when Israel toes up to them. They'll allow Israel to make certain shows without reacting with violence because none of the players in that region wants the regional war they can all see happening if they jump in against the zionist occupation.

So remember when Israel justified its first invasion of Palestine because foreign Arab powers were attacking Israel?

Turns out regimes that use that excuse to punish unrelated people are also not above doing a little attacking of foreign nations themselves.

This is a huge thing, Jesus lol

Are they trying to start a world war? I feel like we're already pretty close and this is just another step

It's not as huge as it might seem. They've been bombing Syria for literally years.

Oh. I didn't know that, apologies

Not a shocker if you just turned 48 like I did. In the 1980s when I was a kid, Reagan was President, and I lived in Maine. My dad’s proposal was to just drop a nuke on the whole region and annihilate the whole area. My dad was so mean. He was trying to keep me from blasting Rock the Casbah on my 45. Must have grated on his nerves.
