I said it before, and I’ll say it again. There appears to be 3 sides to the Syrian war:
1) Basher Assad
2) ISIS
3) 50 college kids promising a thriving democracy
The first two sides are roughly equal, although ISIS has been getting the upper had lately, so Russia is helping out Basher.
The last group doesn’t have much of a chance and every time they get their hands on US weapons they hand them over to ISIS, in order to keep their heads on their shoulders. ISIS could wipe them out in 5 minutes, but they serve a function for ISIS, so they’re kept around - and we, LIKE TOTAL IDIOTS, keep thinking they can prevail. Needless to say, we support this third group.
The question for all you non-Trump people is why aren’t any Republicans, other than Trump, pointing out that we are simply ON THE WRONG SIDE here and that our side never had a chance.
Obammy knows the 50 college kids can’t hang on to their power, even if we put them in leadership. He knows that the end game is ISIS owning everything where there is a shortage of a strong leader.
Assad is infinitely better than ISIS. Assad is more secular and tolerated the Christians. They have money too. ISIS is far worse than Assad ever was.
Rubio’s take as of last night:
“Marco Rubio predicted Russia’s move into Syria to prop up President Bashar al-Assad.
On “The Kelly File” tonight, Rubio explained that it had been previously reported that Russia was positioning air assets in Syria. He said it was clear why, and it wasn’t to go after the Islamic State.
“They may conduct some operations against ISIS, but this is not about ISIS,” Rubio said. “This is about propping up Assad, who is a client state of both Iran and Vladimir Putin.”
Rubio explained that the purpose of the airstrikes is to position Russia as the most important outside power broker in the region, replacing the U.S.
Rubio added that choosing Assad over ISIS, as Donald Trump seemed to suggest on “The O’Reilly Factor” last night, is a terrible idea.
“I don’t think the choice should be Assad or ISIS. I think they both need to go.”
