| Ben Carson wants military action and to establish a no-fly zone, basically shoot down Russian aircraft like the Turks did today. Chomsky says we should reign in nearby countries that're funding ISIS and let the locals deal with it instead. |

Bernie and Rand, in my opinion. The rest either want to thrown lavish amounts of money into the military and invade Syria or establish a no-fly zone, not that smart in my opinion. As for Sam Harris, he's just some edgy loser who rants about religion all day. If you want to hear stuff like that, just go watch The Amazing Atheist. I'm also not sure how a liberal who opposed the Iraq War would support military intervention proposed by a conservative politician, but whatever. The guy's a mess. |

Chomsky says we should reign in nearby countries that're funding ISIS and let the locals deal with it instead. I might agree with Chomsky on that given that Russia seems to be dealing with ISIS, but if they weren't, then someone else should. What does he think of Russia's involvement? |

I might agree with Chomsky on that given that Russia seems to be dealing with ISIS, but if they weren't, then someone else should. What does he think of Russia's involvement? He thinks that the US led coalition is illegal under international law and useless, and only helped expand sectarian conflicts. He wanted the locals and Russia to deal with it, so he's taking Russia's side on this one. It's important to note that until the Russin-Iran-Iraq coalition, ISIS was making huge gains in Syria. I think that goes to prove his point. |
| It seems a bit arbitrary that Russia's involvement should be "more legal", but I'm not complaining. I'm all for countries other than the US doing the dirty work for once. I don't know Sam Harris' exact position on this. All that's been said is he agrees more with Carson than Chomsky (at a certain point in time). If OP wants to link to the podcast (preferably with the time in the video when he talks about this), then I'll check it out. |

It's legal in the sense that the Syrian government said they could be there, while the Western coalition didn't and still routinely breaks international law daily for years. International law doesn't mean anything anyways, since everyone breaks it and everyone falls back on it like hypocrites when it fits their narrative. I'd rather have Russia which have been proving their might and actually solving the conflict to do it instead of America, there's no reason why we should be spending billions for a conflict that'll resolve itself faster without us. |
