Russia and Iran will help Assad regain control over all of Syria.

They will even drive ISIS out of Raqqa.

While there's a price to be paid in US Prestige and respect, I think this a better outcome than 50,000 US troops and 400 aircraft directly involved.

Trying to prop up Jihadi rebels to overthrow Assad was an epic mistake and Trump would do well to call it out over the next month.

We have no business in that place doing anything. This is just some fool implementation of a Muslim President’s destructive policy.

I certainly won’t sacrifice the lives of any of my children or grand children for it.

The United States made clear it would not, at least for now, carry through a threat made on Wednesday...

Kerry: I will gladly threaten you Tuesday for a
cease fire today.

Worthless red liners.

If John Kerry and Samantha Powers lying and insulting the Russians constitutes US diplomacy, then no wonder the Russians are choosing bombs.

And if our “diplomats” think that putting US personnel into ISIS targets is going to shield the islamist radicals from Russian attack,, then Putin proved otherwise several days ago when he sent Kalibr missiles into ISIS Joint Operations Center

This much squealing from the press makes me that victory for Syria is close at hand.
