Do you ever just listen to an old favorite song really loud in your headphones while staring at a skyline and fall in love with the world and your life and the person you’ve become even if things aren’t actually going well for you at that particular moment? Because it’s surreal and it’s empowering and I think it’s bliss.
I can assure you that we’re aware of the fact that many American soldiers and civilians are against these actions, and it’s a comforting notion to have in mind. We know and are consistently hearing about the population’s disagreement with Trump’s actions. Which is why my frustration and repulsion is solely directed at the american government that’s allowed to make and execute decisions as well as spread false information in order to get what they want. We have to sit and watch them do it.
As a Syrian teenager who’s currently watching the US strikes unfold from her window at 4 am, watching as the corrupt government of the world’s ‘most powerful country’ uses unbacked, even comical pretexts in order to complete other agendas, I can assure you, we will never, ever fucking forget this. I am completely and utterly disgusted. This is our land you’re bombing, these are our streets, our homes, and this could have been prevented. Syrians are a patriotic bunch. Don’t think for a second our generation of young kids watching your bombs fall from our skies in the middle of the damned night will forget this. I’ll tell you this for a fact, we are seething.
