Trump’s position makes MUCH MORE SENSE than our current policy...which I challenge ANYONE HERE to explain.
As best that I can see, Obama sees 3 sides in Syria: Assad, ISIS, and a handful of college kids that call themselves the “Democratic Opposition” and promise to create a Jeffersonian Democracy.
Since we hate ISIS, we are bombing them. But we also hate Assad, so we’re not helping him (i.e., not coordinating military operations with him) as we want him to also lose.
So we want ISIS and Assad to BOTH LOSE, and with that the handful of college kids march into Damascus, build a replica of the Washington Monument, and all sides live in peace and love for ever more.
That’s my take and why Putin simply siding with Assad makes A LOT MORE SENSE TO ME...but I’m willing to listen to others, if they think they can explain our policy there.
Dude. I believe you're precisely correct in this matter.
We can't handle another Egypt, Libya Iraq or Afghanistan.
At this point, our objectives need to be centered on Stability and Order.
We can get around to fixing the world, again, in 2024 or so.
I’m not a fan o’ Trump but I think I have to agree with him. We certainly can’t send our boys over there to fight a 3 or 4 way war.
Assad is a scumbag but honestly, Iraq would be better off if Saddam were still alive. Let Putin (also a scumbag) prop up Assad.
Isis is supplied by Saudis. Without Isis, Iran takes the Saudi Peninsula and all that oil inside a month.
