We are not in Syria because of Assad. He is a red herring. This is a US proxy war against Russia and their Persian shia ally, funded by Saudi/ Gulf weapon sales and driven by sunni ideological goals. .. which somehow we seem to find compatible with a Western global strategy to encircle and contain Russia
You say we’re in Syria to fight a proxy war against Russia When did Congress declare war?
No one’s given a damn about Russia since 1991. No one’s trying to encircle them or contain them. Putin’s gotten hot under the collar about his country being insignificant and irrelevant. All this from Putin for the last few years is just a desperate need for attention.
