Put yourself in Putin’s shoes. If you saw what is clearly a Shia backing American regime fomenting the breakdown of stability in the Middle East, wouldn’t you feel both an obligation and an opportunity to step in...
Syria is just the start. Saudi, Turkey, and even Egypt are staring to look at American bad actors and it won’t be long until they are looking for allies against the American/Iran alliance in the region
Why would Putin seize such an opportunity. Can you blame him?
Plus, it lets Putin, because he’s not a partisan in the Shia/Sunni divide as America has become, play both sides.
He can reach out to the Sunni govts disaffected by the Jarret Administration without having to sacrifice his relationship with Iran. However Iran may dislike the duplicity, they are gong to spurn Putin’s nuclear aid.
It’s a golden opportunity.
What's the EU going to do? If Russia and China don't succeed, Europe as a civilization will be over in a few years. Are they still going to keep up with sanctions against Russia because of Ukraine, while Putin just might save the EU's pathetic *sses?
You can kind of see, Putin seeing in Trump a chance to really play with the big boys eventually...
Trump... thinking.. let this @ hole do the heavy lifting in Syria... then when we’ve got ISIS on the run I, Trump will come in and join forces with you to wipe them out...
We then form a great coalition...that protects Israel and brings real prosperity to the world.. .all of us.
I REALLY SEE PUTIN AND TRUMP GETTING ALONG.. BECAUSE TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO NEGOTIATE FROM STRENGTH...
Obama talks of climate change... Jeeeeezzzzz....Please help us get thru next two 18 months...
I think you’ll see us drawn into the mire.. and like REagan, Trump will be the guy who brings us out...
In short, I see Putin helping Trump win...
Surprised they didn’t meet...
