May be a plan to disarm citizens before the real attacks begin..
The American left has derived its dominant political power for decades because the people keep electing them. Along with that, it has derived its dominant first world power because of the strength of the American military. The left has been able to push any manner of leftist garbage on the populations around of the world, and it has been able to use the military to severely punish nations with whom it is displeased: an example being Serbia.
Where I am going with this is that we have witnessed a foreign policy disaster of the first order. The United States has now been relegated to what the leftists dreamed of: an onlooker, not a player. And suddenly, the left doesn't like it a bit because too late it realizes that its power just got diminished by magnitudes. Russia calls the tune now. It controls the Middle East oil and Europe must dance to Putin's tune.
It was only a matter of time before the left would be exposed as the colossal jug ups that they are. It has now happened. Those same jug ups who ceded control of the Middle East are the ones who want to disarm Americans in the face of radical Islamists threats to carry out massive murderous attacks on disarmed citizens. Good luck with that! Leftist Russia just broke the American left in half.
