I don't believe the Obama admin was "blindsided". I think it's quite likely that they are in cahoots with Russia's expansionist agenda in both the Middle East AND Eastern Europe. They may scream and holler, but they will do nothing about it. In the end Russia will of course get what they want: a strong foothold in the powerfully strategic Middle East. They will ponder the resources, get wealthier, and become even stronger and more aggressive in their expansionism.

Both Obama and Kerry were strong supporters of the Soviet Union. Putin is basically trying to restore what was the Soviet Union. So their fake concerns over what is going on means nothing.

Idiotic post that ignores Obama’s response to Crimea, to the Ukraine crisis, to Obama’s sanctions on Russia, Obama’s attempts to embarrass Putin at Sacha, the current geopolitical reality in Syria, etc.

All for what, so that you could push a fantasy narrative?

Good grief. Your imagination is not useful to contributing to the debate or analysis.

Obama tried to install a Muslim Brotherhood radical Jihadist regime in Egypt but the Egyptians got wise to it and threw them out of power. The whole Libyan thing (not Benghazi but the Kaddafi thing) was a European deal about ensuring oil and gas supplies thru southern Europe via Africa and the US just hung back offering some feckless air support...but it created a vacuum that led to Benghazi and now Isis infiltrating there. Obama tried to do in Syria what he tried to do in Egypt and now that whole thing is blowing up in our faces. I don’t think Iran is very happy about Russia being in Syria but it puts egg on Obama’s face so they are content to “play along”. Iran also figures that Russia won’t tolerate a nuclear armed Iran so the mad Mullahs have got to be feeling somewhat hemmed in.

(you think Putin feels comfortable about a radical Muslim state like Iran with nukes? I don’t think so...then again the thought of Israel’s probable 200 + nukes of various sorts may also make Putin a bit cautious...as some of them are icbm capable. Israel can put satellites in orbit so they can do icbm’s...or at least some good longer range Intermediate types and cruise as well. Moscow might be an end game strategy target!)

As for ValJar,Kerry and Samantha Powers...they need to be made to disappear from government service...retired, fired or jailed!
