This may be more about Alleppo than anything else. Putin hs trumped obama’s ISIS aspirations.
Obama seems hell bent on leaving Trump a big bag of crap to deal with the moment he takes office. The President with the hairless chest suddenly grows a pair the moment he’s about to leave office knowing that Trump will have to clean up the mess. This is an anarchist move straight out of the Alinsky playbook. Once a radical always a radical.
