At first everyone assumed it was Assadist or Russian planes, since for
them, killing 57 people in one hit at a place like a mosque is a more or
less everyday event, just another yawn. But it was their close ally, the
US Trump regime. The US claimed to be targeting "al-Qaida" (ie, JFS). I
assume all the Islamophobic left, all those who can never shut up about
the great threat of "al-Qaida" in Syria (by which they mean the ex-Qaida
JFS), will praise this latest US contribution to the Putin-Assad "war on
terror", war on the revolution, in Syria. Not unusual of course, except
in the sheer numbers killed in one strike and the fact that it was
worshippers inside a mosque; and also not really any different to how it
was under Obama - Trump is more a continuation than a break, just more
open, proud and deadly about it.
And for some reason, I keep seeing article after article claiming
Trump's Syria policy is "still unclear," a "mystery" etc. Everyothing
I've seen Trump and his entire gagle saying for months has been
abundantly clear to me - not sure where the "unclarity" is. He says the
US should join Putin and Assad to "fight ISIS" (as if that wasn't
already Obama policy), which he pretends to think is what they are
doing. He says the US should cut off all remaining tiny pittances of
alleged "aid" to anti-Assad rebels (which btw, Mattis strongly agrees
on), as if the US was actually providing any. Very clear, and very
consistent with US actions over the last few months under both US
regimes.
