Let me explain Aleppo for those of you in Loma Linda. Aleppo is in Syria. Syria is governed by its elected leader ,Assad. There are a group of insurgents supported by ISIS. The Syrian Army is fighting these outlaws. The sovereign Syrians called in and invited Russia to assist in their killing of ISIS and their friends. . This wrecked the plans of the globalist and the McCain heads and they are very frustrated because Assad is just kicking the crap out of the outlaws in Aleppo and it is frustrating the one world new world order folks, So they want to take your money ( or print some more to devaluate your money) and use your children to go kill the Russians. ABSOLUTE MADNESS!!
I think that you are wasting your time and breath trying to explain the facts of life to them. The only thing they have the ability to understand Everything they see and hear is run through the same filter. obama good. Everything else bad. Is how it comes out.
Good luck...
In a war with Russia your children aren’t going anywhere. They will become carbonated forms on walls.
Post #6 you nailed it
I wish it were as simple as what you stated. The fact is, there are so many factions all with differing objectives in Syria it’s hard to know up from down. If we had a strong leader who had come up with a coherent plan years ago, this would have been resolved long before Russia got involved late last year. Putin saw our feckless leader and the continuing weakness of his position and saw an opportunity.
Years ago (like 2013) when Obama drew his line in the sand and Assaad crossed it, I would have supported a strong leader with concrete objectives and a plan put in place to resolve the crisis. Alas, we did not have that then and we do not have that now. So because we don’t and I see no good by us becoming more embroiled, I can’t support further involvement in Syria under the current conditions. It breaks my heart to say it because I know that this situation unresolved will cause further problems down the road for us in the Middle East, but we will have to deal with those issues then. Hopefully, we’ll have a real leader to deal with the future crisis.
