I agree the gassing was probably a long-planned setup, with the sanction of the Obama administration, to get the US involved.
In fact, with the latest report that the gassed children may have been kidnapped by the rebels just a week before, it looks like a mass kidnapping and subsequent murder of children may possibly have been part of the plot.
I also think this Russian bailout may have only been hatched this week by the Russians in response to Obama’s predicament.
Where I’m not so certain that you are correct is the idea that Putin intends to expose Barry by making it publicly backfire on him down the line.
Putin may have simply got tighter control on Syria, securing Assad’s continuance in power despite the interests of the Saudis, Qataris, and MB, to win control of Syria and thus weaken Iran. As well, Putin has secured a larger global leadership role for himself in place of the rapidly declining US power.
When I posted this I truly did not know. Then posting #13 made it clear to me. It’s nothing more than who controls the world’s energy and in particular gas routes to Europe via Syria.
Assad stands in the middle of this, and he has Putin and the Chinese to back him. We have no business being there, but the Saudi’s have leverage over us, and they’re making Obama dance.
Syria should be the safest place in the world once Assad beats back the rebels, and now I’m all for him doing so. It’s the best possible out come for Christians, Jews even moderate Muslims if there is such a thing.
