Assad is a brutal thug, and Russia will certainly turn on us, but they are less of an existential danger than the Syrian extremists and far less dangerous to America than Obama is. I cheer every time the Russians bomb the Syrian opposition, whether their target is Al Qaeda terrorists, ISIS murderers, or the CIA-trained rebels (who were happily sharing a barracks with Al Nusra and are now sharing a pitchfork up their . . .).
Maybe, but if America remembers what it was and elects someone who will rebuild our manufacturing and military, that should be enough to hold them off. Rebuilding our military worked for Reagan.
To me, the difference is that while Russia is taking these actions in support of its national interest, Obama was taking actions in support of leftist drivel and an attempt to enrich his friends with a gas pipeline. Hey Obama - RUSSIA WON!
FRiends, to help widen the perspective in the Middle East here is a video with translation so sound not needed. This is Putin talking about who created ISIS...
Very interesting on that alone, but early on he unequivocally swats down any contention about Russia-US war...
That is really old school thinking, MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)
No value in a big bloody mess with no winner, but that is what is being peddled here in the US as the story line...
Watch and See...
