Neocons trying to stir up some trouble in Syria now that things are going well, IMHO.
We usually protect our deployed forces as well.
fundamentally altered the balance of the Syrian Civil War.Russia re-established momentum behind Syrian President.................... “President”! Elected by the majority! It means he wasn’t backed by Obama and Hillary. Hillary’s response to Putin would be a gross of red plastic reset buttons.
For 300 years the Russians have desired a warm water port and open access to the Mediterranean and that is exactly what they were almost able to achieve when Obama was president.
Now, must work to keep Russia from having control and open access to a warm water port and Syria is where that conflict is right now.
The truth is Putin and Trump plan to take over Mecca and charge the Muslims $1000 each to fondle the Allah stone.
Translation: Work with the Saudis to continue to create/promote sunni jihadi-Islamist groups to continue to wage proxy war, create refugees and grind Syria into dust.
R20 is a shady globalist bunch.

Folks, this is a laugh. It’s two fresh out of college girls. Neither looks over 25 and both have nothing but a new college degree and an opinion. Ridiculous that this is where strategic analysis comes from. No wonder we are so screwed.
I’d rather have Russia expand than the Islamists.
ME Policy is not Rocket Science:
Kill ISIS
Constrain Iran
Control Turkey
Protect Israel
Support Egypt and Jordan
Spy on the Saudis and the rest
Anything else is a diversion including worrying too much about the Russians. Right now they can help us do away with ISIS. There will be price to pay but it will be worth it if we are successful as I expect we will be.
Other than Israel, what are our interests, now that we can be virtually energy efficient.
Oh look.
More fake news.
