We're not fighting a war with Russia to overthrow Assad. Nor should we.
Re: “We’re not fighting a war with Russia to overthrow Assad. Nor should we.”
Assad is Putin’s ally.
What would happen if Russia claimed - without any verifiable evidence - that Israel was responsible for the recent chemical attack near Damascus, and then Russia fired a volley of cruise missiles at Israeli military bases?
That’s exactly the way I feel about Trump attacking Syria.
Trump is provoking a nuclear power, and he has no verifiable evidence to support his actions.
