No, it’s not. It cements a Russian stool pigeon in Syria. A stool pigeon who has murdered or wounded millions of his own people and displaced another 11 million, many of whom have invaded Europe and undermined security there. Putin now controls Syria and his ally and our enemy Iran, has its fingers in Syria, Yemen and Iraq, surrounding the Saudi oil fields. This allows him to further destabilize Europe by controlling much of its fossil fuel and gas.
All of this created by Obama and Hillary.
The EU needs to embrace fracking and pay US firms to git ‘er done.
What exactly was Assad doing that made us want to supply terrorists to overthrow his government? I just never saw justification for our initial involvement. Were we acting on behalf of the muslin brotherhood? I am not sure.
“murdered or wounded millions of his own people”
They deserved it. We are talking about islamic extemists who were crucifying and raping Christians in Syria.
Russia’s been an ally of Syria for 60 years now. Europe’s destabilization happened because of leftists running their governments. We need to eliminate the left not whine about Russia or Syria.
Obama and Hillary continuing the ‘special relationship’ started by Franklin Roosevelt in 1945 with the House of Saud.
The Saudi-Qatari backed Al Qaeda forces in Syria (Al Nusra) were ‘our Islamic fanatics’.
The friends of John “Al Qaeda” McCain and Lindsey Al Grahamnesty who are virtually the same as Islamic State, enforcing Sharia, keeping women as property etc. etc. in their enclaves like the ones they controlled in Aleppo.
George W flew Saudis back home after 9/11 including relatives of the terrorist leader, bin Laden.
Assad protects Christians.
Full stop -- Assad's win is good.
Let Putin control Syria -- in Central EUrope we have fracking capabilities that are stopped by enviromentalists. We will frack, use renewables and cut off the Russians eventually
In any case, sorry, but the lives of christians in the ancient heartlands are more important than prosperity in Europe. A poorer Western Europe will return to Christendom
Russia and Syria have been tight since at least 1940. Just fyi.
Putin/Russia have a much larger hand in this game than we ever had. I think the pipelines story is probably more true than Saudi oil fields as a factor.
