re: #94 Unshaken Defiance

We might be a little too focused on our domestic ailments.
Seems kind of eerily back page that battles in Syria are heating up so strongly. Israel has been hammering many Hezbollah targets in Syria, and it looks like Syria and Russia set up a SAM battle plan designed to mousetrap Israeli planes. It worked, they got one, both aircrew safe. Russian plane shot down and pilot executed maybe a week ago. Turkish attack chopper shot down.

Among all this is an ongoing suicide drone battle, Iranian drones now disperse chaff to survive enemy missile fire. Any of this can trigger a wider conflict. Right when we are half in and half out, and rudderless leadership wise.

One of the guests on Bill Maher last night claimed that the US military has killed more civilians under Trump than were killed in the 8 years under Obama. My limited research under Google indicates that seems to be true. Why isn’t the media attacking the administration for this slaughter? Or does it not matter because the deaths are among Arabs and Muslims? And Americans don’t care if others are dying.
