Because they know there’s a P*SSY in the White House and there’s not much time left TO GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING!!!
A couple of generations ago the Russians went into Egypt and got active in the Aswan Dam project. They are smart cookies when it comes to gaining a foothold in strategic locations.
According to the Bible Damascus is obliterated. When? Good question.
I hope the Russian meddling in the ME is going to bite them back hard.
Unfortunately, with Obama in the WH, the same can be said for us.
"the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century" -Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...
"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'..."
"The more I see and read about Mr. Putin, in power since 1999, and his 'managed democracy,' the more apprehensive I become about the future of Russia and the safety of its neighbors.
If Putin believes that the dissolution of the Soviet Union into 15 independent states represents the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,' then it follows that Putin might well believe he should do something to repair the loss..."

"'The Black Book of Communism,'; a scholarly accounting of communism’s crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone), and some say that number is too low."
Forgetting the Evils of Communism: The amnesia bites a little deeper
By Jonah Goldberg, August 2008:
If the Russians want to get burned by getting involved in yet another Muslim majority nation, one involved in a Muslim civil war no less ... I say let them have it.
Anyway, tell us, what do you think of Putin’s aggressive actions in the Ukraine and elsewhere in eastern Europe? What do you think of the Iran deal?
“For Mr. Putin,” Russia’s allies, Iran and Syria, must start the nuclear exchanges that could allow Russia to conquer and rule the world. Russia also wants Jerusalem for the Mother Church of Russia, approved Church of the Soviet Union.
Putin and Assad are not attacking ISIS as much as they’re keeping Assad in power and Russia may have a new country to add to his empire. I wonder if when these Russians are killed if they’ll be cremated and their deaths denied and classified as state secrets, like the over 2,000 Russians killed in Putin’s undeclared war on Ukraine.
Interesting that the short acronym of simply ‘IS’ is used in the article.
So Putin is the defender of the faith and humanitarian good guy in the Middle East. But how will they get rid of him?
