re: #191 Desmond

Yeah, it was on its way to being a stalemate. He was retaking territory that the rebels had overrun but was having difficulty in decisively beating them. With further uprisings among the civilian population and military defections, do you honestly think this would’ve ended quickly?
It may have gotten out of the headlines but numerous people still would’ve died.
We’ll never know if the intervention helped or not.
The problem I have with your posts is that you assume you’re correct and refuse to acknowledge that, like the rest of us, you simply don’t know.
