RE: Tulsi Gabbard Is Driving The MSM Bat Shit Crazy

True, Russia established a naval base at Tartus, Syria in 1971, which is another reason it wanted President Assad to stay in power. But, it wasn't until 2015 when it moved major forces into Syria to help President Assad fight off the various western-backed terrorist factions that were trying to force him out. Russia built the Khmeimim Air Base from which it launched air strikes against ISIS. It also moved warships into the Mediterranean off the coast of Syria, and inserted special forces to assist Syrian government forces. Russia is largely responsible for making ISIS combat ineffective. In the meantime, the US was bombing Syrian infrastructure such as electric power plants, water reservoirs, bridges, and Syrian military installations, killing many civilians, Syrian military personnel, and even some Russian personnel.

Of course, you won't hear any of this on the CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, etc. government propaganda networks. The US hypocrisy about its involvement in Syria (we're there to fight ISIS and keep the American people safe), is so blatant it would truly be hilarious if it wasn't so serious.

Also, it's hard not to note the hypocrisy of someone from a country that has some 700 military bases in countries all over the world complaining that Russia has a military base in a country that they are allied with. Apparently we're the only ones who are allowed to do that.

Yeah, it's actually closer to 800 bases. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-number-of-US-military-bases-around-the-world

The number is estimated at over 800 Military bases worldwide, obviously many are unofficial and clandestine installations.

The next closest countries to the united states are: the UK (7), France (5) and Russia (8 - in former Soviet republics).

While there are no freestanding foreign bases permanently located in the United States, there are now around 800 US bases in foreign countries. Seventy years after World War II and 62 years after the Korean War, there are still 174 US “base sites” in Germany, 113 in Japan, and 83 in South Korea, according to the Pentagon. Hundreds more dot the planet in around 80 countries, including Aruba and Australia, Bahrain and Bulgaria, Colombia, Kenya, and Qatar, among many other places. Although few Americans realize it, the United States likely has more bases in foreign lands than any other people, nation, or empire in history.

Oddly enough, however, the mainstream media rarely report or comment on the issue.

Just FYI, the Arab Spring, which led to the unrest in Syria, was also orchestrated by good ole Uncle Sam. https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-us-engineered-arab-spring-the-ngo-raids-in-egypt/28433

It's a well-worn tactic: When you have no argument, attack the source.
