  • Saudi Arabia is fucked up enough. If Daesh controlled Syria and Iraq, would that be a good outcome? I mean, at least the Gulfis being fucking corrupt means they don't actually want to start a world war.

    If the argument is 'intervene better', what's the better? Why is so much of the argument phrased in terms of don't intervene at all? Because that's what it sounds a lot like to me.

    I feel like like it is mostly the pro-airstrikes argument that frames it as airstrikes or inaction. Most of the anti-airstrikes argument is not to do nothing instead. Is that a straw man?
