But because I am saying this I must be Muslim or antisemitic.
Reminds me of one of Trump's argument that most resounded with me. The horrible, horrible idea of arming the Curds and providing the Syrian rebels with logistic support. When he told Hillary that we don't know who these people are, I almost jumped off my chair. F... hell! Finally!
It's not just that in the whole history of American interventionism almost everyone USA armed or helped financially during armed conflict in the middle-east ended up resulting in the loss of American lives not 20 years later at the hands of those they helped. It's also not only because of the fact that USA was one (the biggest) contributor to the rebirth of religious terrorism in the past 50 years. It is also the fact that you don't arm an entire combat force founded on radical religious and cultural principles and expect that to turn out well. And it is particularly stupid when you do that for the sake of the resolution of a single local conflict, without a care in the world for the fact you know you won't be able to remove those arms once it is over.
