Well that may very well be ‘the hook’ that brings russia into the thick of it by that I mean into Syria with their own troops....and too close to Israel then for comfort........but let’s not forget China standing by in this...like Russia they have their hand hidden close to their chest until they are ready to play and see the advantage they will have by doing so.
The game is on and will at best slow..at most wars will continue and gather steam again...it’s not in the least over.
These are dangerous times, and I think to a large degree Obama doesn’t like to be shown up. He is going to get us into a fighting war over his hurt pride. No doubt in my mind.
