Waiting for FR Putin worshipers.

I'll bite.

Good luck on your war in Syria. Obama and McCain are happy you are carrying on the struggle. How many nations and groups are fighting in that country now? 13?

“Good luck”

I’m sure Defense Secretary Mattis, the Trump administration, and our troops and humanitarian workers appreciate your well wishes.

What war in Syria.

For the record, I have always been against the U.S. having any involvement there. The civil war has been in our interest. I wish Obama and Trump wouldn't be doing anything there.

If Putin wants to serve his Iranian masters by fighting there, that's his business, but let's not pretend he's some kind of hero or fighting against the bad guys or protecting Christians.

We (Obama) screwed up the "Syria Endeavor" a long time ago. I cannot disagree with your sentiments as I do not know what our objective in Syria is. When hostilities broke out it was between bad guys and worse guys. Now it seems there are some "ok" guys there that we should be routing for. But why?

If America would have jumped in full force immediately after a "red line" was crossed, then mopped up quickly, ousted a government and kicked Iranian/Terrorist influence out for good, it may have been worth a price for security and influence in the region. It would have also been a chance to eliminate one of Iran's proxy nations. But Obama tiptoed, trivialized and obfuscated the mess into a full blown dumpster fire.

If there is a good argument for our involvement (which there may be. I have an open mind), I'd like to hear it. Israel is pretty good at defending themselves there. I'm not sure if we are helping in that arena.
