To make the comment more clear, this is what was referred to.
"Whatever their reasons for supporting Mr. Assad, therefore, Russia and Iran are promoting more humane results than is the U.S., whose support for rebels prolongs the misery."
I question the loyalty and intellect of those who want the enemy to possess more stability and strength for their evil pursuits rather than weariness and weakness. Meanness and dishonesty currently prevail in politics. Meanness and dishonesty also appear to be elements of an abominable fad, where many desire to follow the most evil influences and dictators on the planet. May the planet, weather and economic situations continue to change accordingly.

OK Patton, tell me how You will Crush Russia there and what is the result...
We then have to Govern that which we fought for and claim or what???
This sword waving is silly, Russia is not the adversary they used to be
Dangerous, yes, so are we...
Take over the world, no chance and no interest, look around and you will see they are not headed in that direction.
Just my opinion but Russia is not the enemy here at all. Putin is a believing Christian, factor that into your war plans and the Christians welcoming their help..
Here is Vlads bio, he had a life transforming event and returned to his faith...

So lets reassess who is who and what the place will look like at the end, it ain’t ours ya know

Sorry, but it's hard for me see how a murdering tyrant who wages aggressive war to seize his neighbor's territory (an offense for which we hanged Nazi's at Nuremberg) is a believing Christian.
The Russians aren't ten feet tall, and I have no doubt that the deployment of modest amount of our Navy and Air Force would clean them out of the eastern Med rather quickly.
Allowing the Russian-Iranian axis to move forward until the Iranians have the bomb is insanity.

Hey, move to Russia. Love your country.
To: pierrem15
So, waging a war of aggression is bad, (interesting). And deploying our forces to the med will make the Russians run away. Or did you mean for us to start shooting at Russians?

Haven’t both of those been debunked? The UK denied one today, and the other hasn’t had a shred of proof turn up.

I’m not interested in running anything, as long as the camel humpers can’t threaten us. Check my tag line.

"

That's irrelevant. Israel and Russia only made an agreement to avoid hostile engagements between the IDF and Russian forces. PM Netanyahu reiterated Israel's right to defense against Iranian elements (in Syria). One must read beyond headlines in order to understand. The fourth and subsequent paragraphs are of particular interest.

Syria has been a terrorist state since the 70s. Kruschev started pumping them full of weapons in the late 50s. Much more recently, when Imad Mugniyeh , the guy responsible for blowing more than 200 US Marines and 58 other nationals to Kingdom Come in barracks bombings in the 80s, for abducting, torturing and finally executing our CIA station chief Buckley and a fine Marine officer Higgens and leaving their mutilated bodies for us to find in roadside ditches,... for bombing a US Embassy in 1984 and killing more than 60 people, for the hijacking of a TWA airliner where the terrorists on board first tortured, then murdered, US Navy diver Robert Stetham in 1985... for providing al Qaeda with the expertise to blow a hole in the side of the USS Cole in 2000,... for bringing Hezbollah the mother of all terrorist groups to our hemisphere where they bombed a Jewish center in Argentina in the 90s and set up cells with the drug cartels in Mexico in the past decade along with establishing cells in the US, and who with his offspring spent the early part of this century up to his death killing American and coalition troops in Iraq alongside Mr. Sadr ... just recently bought the farm in a spectacular shower of car parts and smoking debris. He had not long before been chatting in his host country with the highest military and intelligence officials of his host country and Iran when his vehicle was blown to smithereens.
Now, I don't know what his meetings with these men was about, but since the ladies guild of the local church was not invited to attend I would strongly suggest it was NOT about helping Christians or picking flower arrangements. Maybe it was about an assassination in Lebanon such as the assassination of Lebanese politician Rafik Hariri. Maybe it was about killing more coalition troops in Iraq and hanging their corpses upside down on bridges- a reasonable assumption given that one of his pals was the head of Iran's al-Quds force. Of course one of the other guys he met with was General Suleiman who was also in charge of the host country's nuclear program, and if I'm not mistaken was also the General who was taking oil voucher bribes from the late Saddam Hussein. Obama hadn't been elected yet and the Arab Spring was still in the future, so we know it wasn't about Obama's middle east policy or the welfare of refugees.
Guess which country it was where Mugniyeh, armed and finnced by Iran, among others, had been considered such a venerable and valuable asset that he, a terrorist, would be strolling around drinking beers with Syrian and Iranian top brass and the folks in charge of a country' nuclear program? Guess which country he lived in, in a luxurious neighborhood also home to the elite of the ruling regime? The country in question is none other than Syria. Imad Mugniyeh was killed on February 12, 2008 in Damascus. One of his sons, also known for keeping company with Iranian brass, bought the farm with one of his Iranian pals just recently.
