I’m not so sure.
China is the new “boss hog” at the mideast oil trough.
You know, those friendly folks with mafia business practices and 1.4 billion expendable people to enforce them...
Add Iraq to the list and later, Jordan. Yemen.....in other words, the whole Middle East.
“Conquering” other countries has never been what we’ve been about anyway. We’ve liberated and then left and came back home. It has served us well all this time. - Yes. I know; there’s the American Indian. A lot of us have American Indian blood (some don’t even realize it because it was hidden so well early on). It’s never too late to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I’m not talking about “reparations”.
Come back when ISIS is actually destroyed.
Good, I knew you could...
Just an example of the ‘Fundamental transformation’ by Obama & Co. Obama is just being ‘flexible’.
Obama didn’t want to destroy ISIS.
He just went through the motions enough so he could claim that is what he was doing.
If you listen to him and his various mouthpieces it is clear that his real objective in Syria was to overthrow Assad without making it too obvious.
Once Assad was gone who do you think would have moved in to assume power?
Who did Obama hand power to in Libya and Egypt?
But now Putin is in Syria to prop Assad up.
So you prefer that ISIS be allowed to take over Syria and continue it’s “Trojan Horse” infiltration of Europe with 100’s of thousands of it’s troops (95% of the ‘refugees’ are young muslim men - duh) and their march to the US - in the establishment of the new Caliphate?
That may be preferable to you - but not to Putin. He knows there are thousands of Chechen ISIS fighters ready to infiltrate back to Russia. Unlike our Pres_ent, he is NOT a friend - but implacable enemy - to ISIS/jihadists.
With the flood of ISIS men swarming Europe - he sees no one ready to step in and stop it - and KNOWS o’bummer has protected, armed and allowe3d ISIS to flourish and spread -
SOMEone has to stop them.
Yes, Asshad is a tyrant and needs to go - but not by being overrun and Syria controlled by ISIS. Last I knew, Asshad has no plans to take over the U.S. , slaughtering us in the streets and establishing his rule across the world.
First things first, Oh “Enlightened1”
But the losses are just beginning. America's enemies and rivals see obama's pathetic weakness. They will strike all around the world between now and Jan. '17.
BTW, Netanyahu is on this with Russia - I trust Netanyahu a hellava lot more than O’bummer -

Watch heads explode......either that or the world.
