The most serious charge against Russia is that they support Iran which is the #1 state supporter of terrorism.

So why are there sanctions against Russia while we send billions to Iran and lift sanctions?

Totally apart from domestic politics, does this make any sense?

That arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is the one who send it. Or did forget that he does what he wants?

The number 1 state sponsor of terrorism is Saudi Arabia who have used the money gained from selling the west oil, to spread their Wahabbi Salafist ideology.

Saudi Arabia has sponsored al qaeda, lashkar e toiba, the Islamic state, al shabab, boko haram, Abu sayyaf and the Taliban.

The #2 state sponsor of terrorism is Pakistan, the owner of the Islamic nuclear bomb. With Saudi money, they have trained the above terrorist groups. The pakis also gave the north koreans missiles in return for nukes

Because Obama wanted to lure all the terrorist actors from the Russian sphere of influence and either put them under his umbrella, or destroy them. If a terror group or sponsor state was willing to work with him, he gave them funding, arms, and technical assistance. If not, he directed his other terror proxies to try to topple them with US and NATO assistance.

I don’t think he planned on Russia actually directly intervening in Syria to stop him. It seems he wasn’t prepared for that possibility, and he knows he can’t confront them directly, so all he has left is to throw his tantrums over it.
