News: 1983 Beirut Bombing Kinda Like Today

https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-1983-beirut-barracks-bombing-and-the-current-us-retreat-from-syria

Well I'd never heard of this bombing.  It was the worst loss of life in a single day for the marines since Iwo Jima

And yeah, a sudden withdraw.  What could go wrong?

But I think this article is also a big slop of skewed views that go unexplained, some might call it propaganda.

As the U.S. wrestles with drug policy, the environment, corruption, natural disasters: pretty much everything.  Is it really so bad that Russia and Iran "gain some ground"?  I mean, it is a big fucking chess game and people aren't people.
