I’m not a big study on this conflict by any means. All I know is we need to defeat ISIS.
So please correct me if I’m wrong ...
Russia’s united and we are divided.
ISIS did better until Russia flew in. So in order to take down the Syrian government, we need to also defeat ISIS at the same time and a united Russia at the same time?
Gee, Obama is racking up quite an alliance against him.
What a ‘brilliant’ commander-in-chief.
I don’t know about the leader of the US, but I’ll bet the leader of Russia is no muslim.
Here’s the Syrian conflict in a nutshell:
For years, Syria has been a Soviet/Russian client state. The Assad family has had close ties with Russia. The Russians supply most of Europe’s natural gas through several pipelines.
The Saudis haven’t really marketed their natural gas, but now would like to. Their natural market is Europe, and the best way to move gas is by pipeline. In order to run a pipeline to Europe, the Saudis have to run it through Syria. The Russians don’t want that pipeline run because they want to keep their monopoly on natural gas supplies to Europe.
The Saudis know Assad will not assent to the pipeline across Syrian territory to please Russia, so to get the pipeline for the Saudis, Assad has to go. So the Saudis, with our knowledge and support, gin up the “uprising” against Assad to topple his regime. Part of the uprising is the creation of ISIS, which like most of Frankenstein’s monsters, gets a life of its own and goes out of control. The Russians prop up Assad in the uprising to block the Saudi pipeline. The Saudis double down by having us come in to do their fighting for them.
Our opposition to ISIS is only token; we are really being prodded by the Saudis to act against Assad. The Russians are putting their people there to checkmate our move. So we’re just being played for suckers in a money deal between the Russians and Saudis. And that’s the Syria deal.
Obama had all the cards a few years ago with the chance to establish a SOFA agreement and a permanent US presence in Iraq but he gave it away.
Obama blames it on the Iraqis, but the truth is he made unreasonable demands on their parliament to pass the resolution.
That military presence could have been used to support his own nefarious policies, but coupled with his personal incompetence, he failed even himself.

OK let me bring you up to speed. ISIS is a Clinton/McCain black op and is run out of the US State Department. They are the foreign policy establishment’s proxy to wage the dirty/covert war on Syria that was soundly rejected by the people when first proposed.
They were created, armed, funded and trained by State under Clinton - Syria was next on her list after Libya. These policies were the direct result of millions in contributions from the Saudis and other Islamic dictatorships to the Clinton Foundation.
Today, John Kerry now has US intelligence supplying SIGINT to ISIS and the USAF acting as ISIS’ airforce.
The State Department has explicitly threatened Russia with terrorist attacks, making it as clear as day that State controls ISIS and always has.
