A little simplistic don’t you think?
Putin wants to wipe out ISIS.
You got a problem with that?
If you want to assail someone, aim your sights at Emperor Barky who precipitated this entire mess with his screwing the pooch in each and every way, both here and abroad.
Putin is acting in Russia’s best interest, and has a defense pact with Assad. He is acting no differently than the U.S. would if one of our allies was threatened and requested assistance from us.
We might not like the fact that Russia and Syria are thick as thieves, but that is the nature of global politics.
I used to think we would defend our allies, but under Obama, we have few allies and I doubt he would defend any of them, except perhaps for Cuba and Venezuela.
Putin could care less about ISIS.
This is all about a power grab.
Nothing less. Nothing more.
Putin wants to keep the butcher Assad in power and reintroduce Russian influence in the region. He is providing Syria and Iran with the latest anti-aircraft missile systems. Israel will be in greater danger with the increased Russian presence.
We should never forget that we are dealing with a despicable, dictatorial former KGB agent who wants to take this country down a peg and restore Russia's power. Putin is an enemy and should be viewed that way.
