Churchill authorised the bombing of Dresden even though it was not a military target. Truman authorised the second atom bombing of Japan, basically to test the implosion bomb on real people.
In case of a German invasion, the UK would have attacked them on the beaches with chemical weapons; the US has stockpiles of the stuff.
So accusing Assad, who is the head of the legitimate government of Syria, which has been involved in a civil war stoked by remnants of the Iraqi army and Salafists from Saudi Arabia, of “doing some nasty shit” is more than a little hypocritical. And that’s before we get on to the conquest of the Phillipines.
What Assad has done wrong is to reject US demands that their puppets be allowed to run Syria. Let’s be honest about this.
