Russia has made no secret she supports Assad of Syria. Now IF Benghazi was Obama's weapons depot for his conscripts headed to Syria to remove Assad, it is no leap that it would be in Russia's interests to get the weapons first. Russia has a very long history of sticking her nose into countries that become fronts of actions against US. Take Korea or Vietnam, or even old Saddam's Iraq.
Russian posture in ME is not always good in ME but this time they are good guys. And it is not for a first time.
I doubt for one minute Russia has forgotten or gotten over all that illegal oil they were dealing with old Saddam, that President Bush required them to relinquish. I remember reading reports of fleeing Russians when the bombs started falling on Saddam. Arming Iran with nuclear is hardly on the right side of good. Old Saddam had in his mind he wanted the same deal with the Russians that Iran got. It is really impossible to read claims about dealing with terrorist out of Moscow when it is the government policy to sell nuclear capabilities to terrorist nations.
US and allies knows how to handle present players in ME, no matter how bad they are, and there are solutions to keep them under control.
Is this sarcasm. This bunch we have handling things have unleashed the hounds from hell. Not even Russia herself in all attempts over the last century has done the kind of destruction to this nation as this latest bunch of liberal marxists.
Waging a proxy war against them using Al-Qaeda, assisting Muslim Brotherhood in building a super state in ME is just too stupid to be reality but it is a policy of present US administration. Stevens death is just a beginning of how these people are to thank America for support.
I do not see a dimes worth of difference in the method of operation out of Obama or Putin. My opinion is they both are going to end up being losers when the history books get written. I must add this would also include Obama's crew, from his teleprompter programmers to his czars and cabinet officials.
If needed, Iran may be either subverted using it’s own disidents or militarily destroyed without significant loss in men and materiel.
You won’t say the same about a future Al-Qaeda’s caliphate of Africa and ME. With Syria and Egypt included it will be a nuclear superpower ruled by Osama bin Laden types.
last time I’ve check it was Al-Qaeda behind 9/11, not Iran.
That is my point.
Both are bad, but it makes a bad chass player to support an absolutely worse party which has a recent history of brutally attqacking you.
