The U.S. is about to attack Syria. Here’s what you need to know:
- Bombing Syria will only strengthen the hardliners … and harm America’s national security. The top U.S. military commander says that attacking Syria would be risky and expensive. (Security experts – including both conservatives and liberals – agree that waging a war which is not absolutely essential to defend ourselves from imminent threats weakens national security and increases terrorism. Indeed, just spreading our resources too thin leaves us vulnerable to terrorists.)
- A Syrian war could be one the least popular wars in American history
- In fact, most of the world is against attacking Syria
- There is no “coalition” supporting a war
- War against Syria could spike oil prices and plunge us back into another recession
- Russia has repeatedly stated that it would consider an attack on Syria as an attack on its national security. China has also strongly cautioned the U.S. against attacking Syria. China and Russia hold a lot of U.S. debt, and could make life difficult for us economically if we unnecessarily anger them
