I thought you were talking about the US until I got to “hostility towards US [...]”. Funny.

The US cares about the Syrian deaths about as much as they do about those in Yemen. Morals play absolutely no role here. And when a politician howls something about humanitarian reasons you can be sure it’s a farce.

What matters is giving head to the right person. Do that, and anything is fair game.

Especially since they fueled the war themselves. Regime change is less risky if you can just pay people on the ground to do it for you.
