“And these troops are there for good - they won’t be leaving ever.”
And this is why we should have imposed a no-fly zone from the start. One carrier air group would do it. Fiorina was right about this. It’s still not too late. Forbidding air traffic over Syria will starve the Iranian and Russian vermin out. And a nation with an economy smaller than Italy’s and a population just one third that of ours (Russia) would never start a war with the US over something so peripheral to its interests. Who would join Russia in such a self-destructive endeavor? Belarus? #timetostepup
