“””Wow…sounds like Putin knows exactly what he’s doing. He will own the Middle East when this is over.”””
The USA will pay a steep price for letting Putin become the power broker in the Middle East. Between Russia and the Middle East they control about 50% of the world’s oil production. I do not see a good ending to this situation.
But then that is the price Americans will pay for electing an incompetent community organizer to be President.
Israel could pay the highest price.
