Maybe that’s the best answer under the circumstances for getting rid of ISIS. But it also means Russia now gets another client. I think this is like telling the ocean to get wet. It already is. Barack is not going to send troops there to take care of ISIS.
Russian troops in Syria and the Prime Minister of Hungary have done more to save western civilization in the last month than the US military has in the last 25 years.
Eventually there will be stress from a secular Syria/Russia alliance and the Islamic push from Turkey, Iraq and Iran.
The Syria/Russia alliance will have a satellite state in Lebanon. Iran will have one in Iraq and Turkey may subsume a piece of its own out of Iraq.
Turkey is a faithless ally. That’s part of the formula.
Just thank the stars that Egypt managed to recover from Obama’s Arab spring.
The Assad dynasty and Syria have been clients of the Soviet Union and now Russia since the 1960’s, i.e. over fifty years. So it wouldn’t exactly represent “one more”. But it does put actual Russian forces, not just Syrian clients, on the southeast border of NATO (Turkey) and the northeast border of Israel. And it demonstrates to all the other Arab states that Russia is a regional player to be reckoned with and, unlike Obama, can be relied upon to recognize and support its friends. They’re filling a vacuum created by Obama’s disastrous policy of supporting crypto-radical Islamic forces against established governments which, however nasty, were at least rational.
When did the American public ever get a vote on waging a war in Syria?
When did The younger Assad in office since 2000 ever pose a clear and present danger to the USA? And all this beng orchestrated by the same rat idiots who chanted “ Bush lied” about Saddam Hussein being a threat
I'll bet some of the retards here who want the U.S. to invade Syria are the same retards who were upset that homobama drew a red line and wanted to go to war.
I'd love to know who they think the U.S. is going to go to war with. It won't be ISIS, not with the homo muslime we have in the white hut. The Russians are fighting ISIS. homo wants to bomb Assad. And then there are the "moderate" muslime rebels.
If America needs to nuke anybody it's the Saudis.
Russia has had a close relationship with Syria for years. Personally I think Assad is a lot better choice that what always comes after the “rebels” knock off the strongman. Mullahs and Sharia law. I’m pretty much with Trump on this one. Let Russia help stabilize Syria by getting rid of the Syrian rebels then the refugees can move back in. A lot of the Syrian rebels are what helped for ISIS anyway.
Russia’s been in Syria for years, so it’s just maintaining the status quo.
