Obama’s admin. has continually demanded Assad go even when peace agreements between the rebels and Assad were being brokered favorable to both sides....many times that condition halted any hope this war would be over.
Assad said early on he expected this to last for ten years and it sure looks like that will be the case, unfortunately along with leaving his country in shambles.
It’s the cold war mentality of the old goats in Washington that create most of the problems , even our Military leaders have stated this mindset gets in the way time and again and why there is so much communication break down....they are tough old birds who still live in the past.
If you recall before Ukraine Russia was hosting most of the G-8 and G-20 Summits as well as many other venues regarding Europe and Russia working together........the cold war die hards saw that as a threat to our standing in Europe and wasn’t about to let that continue, or Russia to gain any further recognition as a super power on equal par in Europe.
As soon as McCain put his feet in Ukraine, just as he did in Egypt, Libya and other nations where conflicts ensued, you could name that tune in one note what was to come thereafter. I truly hate the man. He’s Obama’s front man and always seen sticking his nose in before these conflicts erupt...and in every case it was always about regime change. He’s one of the “point men” in Nato’s expansion and establishing the NWO nations to comply with that agenda...by choice or conflict.
Good post ... I’m in total agreement ..these warmongers must be defeated or we will end up in a conflict with Russia ... like Trump said , they are a natural ally
