Lib politics is about aesthetic. This strike seems to be as well. The strike itself isn’t that egregious (yes it’s bad, but in reality we should be more upset about the capricious sanction warfare on Venezuela and Iran that causes so much more human suffering than this one strike).

This could have been accomplished with drones and very few people would be talking about it. This seems like a politically calculated move to have unity with the republicans or some shit, or to make Biden look tough. That’s the saddest part to me.
