“The Russians took this position after the Western militaries failed in striking ISIS”
It is not our job to come in and clean up your (constant) religious and tribal/sectarian problems in the middles east and north Africa and elsewhere.
islam is a death cult that kills innocents. It must be removed from modern society.
Can I nominate a serpent’s head here in the U.S.? Perhaps a couple of ‘em?
The serpent’s head is not in Syria. ISIS is the tail.
Russia, Iran, China, and the other actors are doing this because ISIS threatens their flanks directly (Russia-Kazakhstan/former Southern USSR, China- Uighars in the west of the country, Iran- its very assistance).
Well, not really. The problem with so many situations in the mid-east is there’s a general lack of good guys. Sure they’re bombing the hell out of ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood backed rebels, but they’re backing Assad who is also a scumbag.
I’ve begun considering doing an Escape from New York on the mid-east. Put a big wall around it and say “call us when you’ve figured out this whole civilization thing”.
Russia will defeat ISIS, thus dominating the Middle East and thereby replace the United States as world’s #1 superpower. 0dungo says ‘Mission Accomplished’!
Russians have an interesting interpretation of the concept of “subtlety.”
Basically, it consists of speaking obliquely about the smoking hole they just suddenly, and without warning, left in the ground.
Putin is cutting off Obama’s head.
