Yep thinkin the same thing. Hate to see “the brotherhood” take over Syria though for the Russians have been a moderating force there.
Russia, unlike the USofObama, will do what is best in its national interests, especially under Putin.
The way things are stacked internationally now with the US being a major debtor nation; dumbed down working force; racial divide; and over used military we are in no position to dictate policy to anyone beyond some western european social republics and the like. Obama making threats is like the guy across the table in five card stud raising your single suit to the ace king while holding nothing higher than a 9, goading you to call.
