Hasn’t the US been fighting ISIS? Like literally ISIS has basically been destroyed right? Even their leader was killed in a raid by Delta operators.
It seems online that it says their secular and they might be but I’ve heard that Assad has carried out chemical gas attacks on civilians. That’s a terrible thing to do and so isn’t it good that the US opposes them.
That's what you've been told. Is that what really happened? No.
The US fought the Syrian Government using ISIS and the other terrorist organisations I mentioned earlier with direct support from Israel (as seen with Israeli strikes on Syria) as well as the Arab Gulf nations and Turkey.
The main force that genuinely fought ISIS is the Syrian Army (with help from Russia).
The chemical attacks were a fake claim so that the Syrian Army would be deprived of its chemical weapons (which was successful), thus weakening it, making the job easier for the terrorists.
