I'm waiting for the BBC to imply it's both outrageous and anti-Semitic that Syria should have the cheek to aggressively defend its territory.
Yank armed forces, who are illegally occupying an area of Syria, attacked and killed Syrian forces as a "defensive measure" earlier this week. That was akin to a burglars justifying assaulting a homeowner for attempting to remove them.
It seems the proxy stuff has ended and World War 3 is close at hand.
