Read some of her statements before Congress in the article. This is a woman who understands Putin. Far better than the clueless CnC. Russia will continue it’s aggression because there is no one there to stop them. This bombing just after talking with Obama is a big FU to America.
Folks, they aren’t there to bomb just ISIS. The Russians will be bombing anyone and everyone who is against Assad and that includes our allies such as the Kurds and the few moderate groups that actually want liberal democracy. The Ruskies want to prop up their guy, that is all they care about. It’s bad enough to have our “allie” the Turks in there bombing not only ISIS but the Kurds, now we’ll have the Ruskies. This situation is growing more complicated and worse the farther we go along because America is not leading, it is sticking it’s head in the sand. That is probably what she saw and she could take no more.
The answer is not to take our toys and go home. The answer is for America to lead with a coherent foreign policy and to get serious about this ongoing mess that is the middle east.
We have no strategy in the Middle East. Obama is a coward and a fool, or he is a traitor. There is no military solution to the Middle East—at least not anything palatable to America. Potential is only realized through exercising will. At this point, America has no will and has made herself a complete laughingstock. And now what?
Who will stand up and say that we should initiate WWIII because of Syria or Afghanistan? Damn you neocons and Democrats both! You want to get in bed with these savages? Have at it and bring your children! There are no honest players in this entire charade, and more have died from misguided intervention than the original despotism.
We have no strategic interest in Syria. The entire escapade has been a flustercluck of unimaginable incompetence or outright malfeasance on the part of the administration. Afghanistan is the same. We have no business there, and we have no business allying ourselves to any of these Muslim devils.
