We should have been luring Putin and Assad away from their support for Iran. Pushing them further into our opposition is a big mistake—however eager the admin may be to prove that they didn’t collude with Russia on the election.

I am beginning to suspect there is a die-hard constituency for “Syrian Jihad” in D.C. Right after cruise missile hits, they came out calling for 50K U.S. ground troops in Syria, while N. Korean crisis is boiling up. I haven't heard any of them calling for 50K additional ground troops to neutralize N. Korean threat. Somehow for these people, even N. Korean nuclear crisis is a minor problem which should not distract U.S. from Syria.
