I count myself among a growing number of Americans who really don’t give a sh!t what Assad did or didn’t do.
All foreign policy should be dictated on the premise of, "if we do this does our nation benefit?" Unfortunately we seldom do this. As a result we had Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya etc. Our foreign policy since the beginning of the Korean War has been a disaster and has hurt my nation.
Putin is a real son of a bi-ch but he does nothing in foreign policy that does not benefit him and Russia.
Question: Why would Putin kill an ex-spy in England knowing it would cause him great grief? The spy was no longer of any consequence and he was traded to the West for some of his spies. Why would Assad use poison gas in a war he is winning knowing full well that he would be attacked by the USA, France and England if he did this.
As mentioned, Putin is a real SOB as is Assad. I do not think they did it. Neither one is stupid.
