    The US tried for years to engineer regime change, failed, became enmeshed militarily in complicated proxy conflicts that few Americans could even begin to understand, and then the political/pundit class feigns shock when it ends badly. Have you ever read a history book?

        Yes it's shocking how many experts on Syria I have listened to who seem to have no idea what they are talking about however they do agree with the mainstream narrative so they are taken seriously

        Exactly. Our country is losing allies and influence in the world. We should be focusing at home, maintaining peace where possible - working with allies and adversaries to rebuild relationships.

        Americans don't have allies, they have interests. As a foreigner I have to know this.

        Seems it might still end okay, thanks to Trump, but nothing is going to bring back those 500K lives lost to Hillary's misadventure at the behest of the House of Saud.

        That’s the point of my handle but wrong to characterize this situation as a “proxy” conflict or “regime change.” There are complex agreements that don’t all end in massacre. What’s going on is actively making among the worst, bloodsoaked calculations w/o pretense of doing right.

        The starting place is a heavily equipped, Trump-backed NATO state & wider legitimization of “credible security risks” which is really the Turkish state's deeply ingrained fear of the concept of self-determination for non-Turkish peoples living within its borders to begin with.

        This is slightly overcomplimentary to the pundit class. The US didn't really try to engineer regime change; it just thought regime change would be kind of cool and tried to help it along a bit. Then became enmeshed militarily etc. etc.

        Calling US policy "engineering regime change" is an insult to engineers.
