The Russians are actually solving this huge problem. We are actually giving 150 billion so Iran can buy a bomb. We also gave them $1.7 billion for that sorry prisoner swap the other day . ( you didn’t know that dis you?) Right after we handed them the money they grabbed 3 more Americans in Baghdad under the clear message we delivered that if you want money— just grab some Americans.

American foreign policy is cowardly. The State department is supposed to represent us to other countries but actually represents other countries to us. Obama isn’t even leading from behind. He doesn’t lead at all, he reigns.

Whatever you think of Russia, Russia is sort of like Gondor, in Lord of the Rings. They are the ones that have spent the most blood to hold the Orcs at bay. Whether it is the Mongolian Orc or the Muslim Orc.

Putin is more of a Westerner than Obama. Europe etc need to worry more about the hordes from the South and East than the one country that has done more than anything else to keep the hordes at bay.

They’re right, but I suspect they just want to get the Kurds at the table to undermine Kurdish sovereignty.

yes so true. I am amazed that people here don’t want to call a spade a spade. There are actual Rinos here.

I suspect the crafty Russians want an independent Kurdish state with the goal in mind of undermining Turkey by agitating the Kurds inside Turkey. Consider Kosovo (essentially Albanians) being broken off of Serbia by NATO. The Russians may want payback also for what NATO did to Serbia.
