Aleppo IS our problem.
Due to our failure to remove Saddam when he started using poison gas, the avalanche of Syrian refugees has poured over Europe. Russia moved it and made a buddy of Assad. Russia now controls Syria, Iran and is working on Yemen and Iraq, thanks to Iranian help, and even courting the latest nut job on the Islamist scene Erdogan.
Putin is NOT a neo-Crusader. He is a neo-Czar. And he wants to control middle eastern energy sources to help leverage Russian energy sources and use them as a cudgel to re-institute Russian control of Europe and a neo-Soviet Empire under a new form.
He wants to weaken and humiliate us in the eyes of the world by violating our airspace everywhere.
Wake up!
Rah rah rah... the worn out ghoulish, neocon-globalist “conquer the world for democracy” plate.
Yeah it would be just so great to have Syria fall into the hands of Saudi-funded, Erdogan-supported jihadi cutthroats./sarcasm
Assad is a saint compared to the alternative and the jihadi terrorists will get their just deserts at the hands of Assad/Putin.
YES, WAKE THE HELLL UP. The Cold War is over.
Syria has been a Russian client state since the 1950s and the US, thanks to Obam-MCain-Clintoin-Grahm though it would be cute to go piss in the Russian sand box in Libya and Syria in the name of “nation building” and so gave the Islamic Fascist 2 new failed state to hide in.
Putin is clean up the mess our idiots created. He not gaining anything he trying to hold what he had from our neo con cowboys
Saddam is dead. You want war? YOU fight it.
The Czar’s in Russian History always wanted a stake in the Middle East. Syria is middle East. You are right that Putin is like a Neo-Czar. Syria under Russian domination will allow for Russia’s presence in oil, and natural gas in the Middle East and exports to Western Europe.
