WE should be fighting with Russia. Why do I think that the only candidate who understands that is Trump? I have a sense that he would side with Putin, and form a coalition that would wipe the crap out of these Muslim basta*ds.
Why do you think the US, Europe, and Turkey are trying to oust Assad?
It is because the pipline that the Europeans want built that will run from Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia through Syria and Turkey. It will supply Europe with plenty of natural gas that will compete with Putin and GazProm. Putin is just trying to protect his market share so his buyers won’t go elsewhere.

It’s Obama’s covert war for oil, or in this case, natural gas.
