Criminals like Iran and its associates don’t like neighborhood watch. They’d rather we focused on domestic issues while real criminals build nukes and conquer neighbors.
is locking down the border with the failed states to the South, merely a “domestic issue” for you?
Are you in a hurry to repeat Afghanistan (FAIL), Iraq (HUGE FAIL), Libya (FAIL) and stick soldiers with restrictive rules of engagement in the middle of a sectarian civil war? If Saudi Arabia has a hard on about Iran, let them get up in Iran’s grill this time around.
As for Russia, can you not see how Russians view NATO camping right on their back door? It’s VERY analogous to the Cuban Missile Crisis. We can’t afford any more of this and we certainly don’t want a Barney Fife in the form of Barack Obama wagging the dog (screwing the pooch) before his sorry, traitorous a$$ leaves office.
