Doesn’t Putin understand that His Royal Arrogance, Barack Hussein Obama, has decreed that Assad must go?

Russia is carving out a fortress for Russia.

The area matters much more to Russia than it does to us. They’ve had a relationship with Assad, why should they want him overthrown?
Entire mess isn’t worth the blood of one American corporal or ten taxpayer dollars.

The problem with pointing the finger at Obama is that NeoCon republicans are the biggest instigators of regime change. Their allies are the Liberal Interventionist democrats.
The difference is that the NeoCons republicans are unilateralists and the Liberal Interventionists democrats are multilateralists.
Multilateralism is the cornerstone of Obama's foreign policy.
NeoCons say that multilateralism is "leading from behind".
