US Invasion of Syria Begins

"The US has openly committed to the invasion and occupation of Syrian territory. It does so with the intent of carving up Syria into a series of dysfunctional, weak zones to literally “deconstruct” Syria as a functioning nation-state. It is doing this unable to cite any credible threat Syria poses to US national security and without any semblance of a mandate granted by the United Nations. It also does so with the prospect of triggering direct war with nuclear-armed Russia in a region Russia is operating legally."
