You gotta wonder what these idiots/traitors are afraid of that they wouled risk war with Russia?What are they afraid is going to come to light with Russia taking out the o’bummer ‘rebels/ISIS?

Could it be the weapons they are fighting with - all marked USA?

I’m with you - I trust Netanyahu

"This is a tricky maneuver, it's a dangerous maneuver, but it's a maneuver that we must undertake because we must make it crystal clear to Russia, they do not get to move into the Middle East,

Aside from the fact that Russia has a base in Syria - the only access Russia has in the Mediterranean - i.e., legitimate concern - and that if ISIS/O'bumme's rebels take over Syria - that's another country toward the Caliphate - How does she, o'bummer' the UN, MSM explain that we have had OUR TROOPS - boot-on-the=ground, in the Ukraine for months now - AND in all the little countries bordering Russia. (Imagine if Russia did the same over here)

O'umme4r and friends have been poking The Bear for months.

It's beginning to look like4 they want to start a Wag the Dog operation to cover up what they're afraid we're going to discover if Isis gets whipped ... and ,perhaps also, to keep ISIS/rebels from squealing - they may be acting on orders from ISIS/rebels...

What’s our strategic goal and how do we get there?

a) Weaken Russia by showing that if her military takes on NATO militaries, they get their clocks cleaned. This would also be a salutary lesson for the Chinese;
b) Destroy ISIS and Assad: Assad, as an ally of Iran is just as bad as ISIS;
c) Encourage the Saudis to pump more oil, again weakening Russia.

In other words, vigorously chasing the Russians out of Syria, getting rid of Assad and getting rid of ISIS would be a trifecta for the US.

However, because Obama actually sympathizes with Muslim terrorists, and seeks to promote Islamic extremism, nothing will be done.

Russia’s nuclear parity is superior to the US and is superior to what it was in the Cold War.

We have lost the edge. And no, America would be foolish to fight Russia on such condition. All we have left is resisting their colonization plans
