Is the US's decision, to put "boots on the ground" in Syria wise? (Details )

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:There’s a reason why Obama and his military advisors decided not to but the US there 5 years ago. Syria is a swamp in a bad neighborhood, and getting out of there is going to be much harder than getting in there. There are too many players – Syria, Iran, ISIS, Kurds, Turkey, and to a lesser degree, Israel. And each of them has its own agenda. The US push is supported by people who are in the military hardware business. That’s the bottom line. They need a war every couple of years to stay in business. This will not end well for the US. American soldiers will start dying soon, and Trump will have to decide whether to put a lot more money into killing Arabs, or just a little.
