Aw, c’mon, don’t hold back. Tell us how your REALLY feel about Candy Crowley.
The stark and overriding fact is, the Russian Federation and Vlad Putin has almost completely displaced the US in Middle East influence, and they have established an undeniable hegemony over most of the region from Iran westward.
For the moment, Russia has sided with the Shi’ite faction of Islam, much to the distress of the Sunnis (represented by the Saudi royal family and the Muslim Brotherhood).
The fact that this whole thing got stuck in the eye of the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut only makes it the sweeter, and is purely a bonus.
Oh, I agree at the utter failure of Obama re: Syria and dealing with an Adult Russian leader.
However, I can’t be any more succinct in saying that we must debase, ridicule and intimidate opponents like Crowley at any opportunity. We must force them to reflect on the negatives we emphasize so that they are not able to concentrate on the evil they are so intent on perpetrating.
