Obama started all this crap in the Mid-East with his Arab Summer, it sems that Putin intends to finish it.
meanwhile we are destroying out military, shutting down nukes, putting women and queers on the front line.
Putin isn’t stupid, he knows what he is doing.
Obama is a push-over.
So what is Russia’s end game? Protect Syria from Israel, or get rid of Assad for their own purposes? Help me here, I can’t get my arms around this one...
Obama is a bend-over.
Correct. Before the Arab Spring we had anti-American, anti-Semite regimes that posed no great threat to the United States. Now we have Anti-American Anti-Semite regimes that will cooperate with those that will try and harm the United States.
That really worked out good for us /sarcasm.
A Lebanese Christian I know said this about Syria. "Those Bast---s have been killing each other forever. I hope they all kill each other." His opinion is far more rational than our foreign policy.
You’ve pretty much got it.
There are two reasonable scenarios here.
1. Putin is wary of our continuing military interventions in the Arab world, and is responding with his own intervention to prevent the balance of power shifting top far in our favor.
2. Putin and Obama have secretly made their Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, dividing which countries the socialist US government will intervene in, and which countries the socialist Russian government will intervene in. Hence, the US refusal to take action on Syria and silence on Russian actions there.
From what I know of Putin, both scenarios are probably equally correct, since I think, no matter what agreements he has made with the Obamunnist, he would hedge his bets and act in whatever way furthers his interests, knowing there will be no consequence.
