The plot really is thickening; and becoming more complex than anyone’s 3dimensional chess.
Maybe it was Benghazi missiles in the hands of the McCain Brigade. That would make this messed up place even more farked
Syria is the most convoluted, twisted mess I have ever seen - and moreso that any scenario leading up to the previous world wars - and this little tinderbox could be that “next” hotbed to start something FAR bigger. Think about it:
Syria, without the US, Israel, or Russia still has the following within its borders:
— The dictator Assad who may or may not have actually used chemical weapons on his own people.
—ISIS/ISIL - one of the worst of the Islamic terrorist groups
—Al Qaeda - another formerly thought to be nearly gone terrorist groups - and have been supported by some strange bedfellows.
—Possibly Iran
—Various other splinter anti-Assad Rebel groups, some with dangerously-close ties to Al Quaeda or ISIL/ISIS.
Now - this itself is an amazingly complicated stew of insanity. Throw in Russia who is backing Assad, supposedly against terrorists + Israel who hates Assad AND the terrorist groups so is running attacks that are a bit odd to my thinking. Now - throw in the US and our allies who are against Assad, sort of... but supposedly against the terrorists too (who make up the majority of the so-called “rebels”)... and never mind the Obama Administration’s former funding and arming of many of those terrorist militias...
And now - the possibility that FRANCE shot down a Russian aircraft?
I’m not even sure who is supposedly on “our” side any longer - and if we even ought to be involved.
