The WASHINGTON POST is providing political cover for the Administration.
The war on ISIS is just an excuse to go after Assad in Syria. You know what McCain and Obama have been trying to do for the last 3 years.
Think Libya 2.0
Moreover, if you think it’s worth going to World War III for Saudi Arabia over a gas pipeline, then I think that’s insane.
Furthermore,
Russia will not give up Syria. Did you know the following.
1. Russia has a naval installation in Syria, which is strategically important and Russia’s last foreign military base outside the former Soviet Union.
2. Russia still has a bit of a Cold War mentality, as well as a touch of national insecurity, which makes it care very much about maintaining one of its last military alliances.
3. Russia also hates the idea of “international intervention” against countries like Syria because it sees this as Cold War-style Western imperialism and ultimately a threat to Russia.
4. Syria buys a lot of Russian military exports, and Russia needs the money.
I agree with you. I think the Bear could push the button over this.
Iran’s president said it was illegal and not authorized by UN or Syria @mitchellreports
