Well I never said I love Putin, but I like what he`s doing to ISIS. And while I don`t love Assad, he`s a secularist tyrant and that`s a damn sight better than any of the moose-limb ‘religion of peace-nics’ we`ve seen to date. Moderate muslims, please! Ain`t no such animals!
We said the same thing about Stalin. We have to pick not just the best of the worst going forward. I might be naïve, but we had Iraq and probably Afghanistan won. From there we could have pushed for greater things. Now we turn it over to Russia to determine the future of the ME?
He's not doing anything to ISIS. His bombing is hitting non-ISIS targets.
