Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Sunday that his coalition with Russia, Iran and Iraq must succeed in Syrias war, suggesting the alternative would be a region in chaos.
The alliance must succeed, otherwise we are facing the destruction of the entire region and not just one or two states, Mr. Assad said in the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network interview.

This new alliance seems to be crushing the Carter Doctrine and so far Obama and his crack team of geniuses have offered nothing in response except some bad propaganda about “mean Russians” or something like that.
The United States got set up...... to like a failure in the Middle East by not attacking ISIS but supporting these criminal thugs for Saudi Arabia’s gas pipeline.
Now Putin looks like hero.
Remember when Obama got caught with the hot mic telling his Russian friends to wait until after the election.
Now we are seeing it played out. KGB Putin looks like the good guy, and the U.S. looks like the bad guy.
What is worse is the Russian military now in the Middle East. I remember when that use to be the goal to keep them out.
