My response is that RUSSIA is the enemy. They are behind all this intrigue - just as they always have been, from the beginning.
There are fools, here on FR, who think we can or should be “friends” with Putin’s Russia ... That is insanity. The Ruissians are America’s mortal enemy - and they shall always be.
In fact, the entire psy-ops game that the commies have manufactured - namely the dissolution of the Soviet Union - is the biggest and perhaps most successful action the commies ever ran on the West. We fell for their deception - hook, line and sinker.
I’m certainly not saying that Russia is an ally or even a friend. We must keep a wary eye on them, like we should with every nation. However, bombing the Syrians to punish Assad for a supposed gas attack, would only embolden his Islamist enemies. We tried that once with the Muj in Afghanistan and ended up with AQ as a result. Bring our assets home and use them only when American vital interests are at stake. If your concern is the Russians, then step back and allow them to waste their blood and treasure there, that is less assets they will have to use against us, if that day ever comes.
“There are fools, here on FR, who think we can or should be “friends” with Putin’s Russia...”
I don’t know of anybody who wants to be friends but even President Trump has said he thinks we can get along with them. Better than a war over another middle eastern hellhole.
