The "end game", given that Russia is simultaneously attempting to re-take its former Soviet states, is that Russia may ultimately control a huge chunk of eastern Europe AND the critically strategic Middle East. And you (honestly?) believe THAT is a good thing for the US and the rest of the free world? Honestly?
I did not say it was a good thing for the USA!!! In fact: it is a horrible outcome, brought about by our lack of leadership from POTUS Obama and his Democrat Party!!! Get real....Obama has lost the entire MIddle East. Putin plays Obama like a fiddle!!! A void of leadership in the world is always filled by someone...good or bad!!! Obama is not the one...he never was...he is the true deatroyer of our once geeat country!!! End of story!!!
