They can bomb and kill ISIS all they want but in the end what are they going to do about the importation of Muslims into their country? Until that is stopped they will always have terror attacks.
Unless he thinks like Stalin. The difference was, Churchill couldn’t do without Stalin.
Just because they are Russians does not mean they cannot kill Jihadis effectively.
The enemy of my enemy is my temporary friend.
I am not a western leader, but I believe it is past time to bury Putin.
I recognize that when we back the rebels in Syria, is did make some sense. I never backed it and thought we were stupid to do so, so don't get the wrong idea. Read on.
Whatever possibility of good intentions there was behind the rebel effort, I think it's a Muslim Brotherhood or al Qaeda effort now. I'm not convinced it isn't actually an ISIS effort either at this point.
I don't know all the players, so I could be wrong, but my take is that the terrorist foot on the ground moves back and forth from rebel, to al Qaeda, to Muslim Brotherhood, and to ISIS.
It's probably time to admit that and go after ISIS tooth and nail in every venue.
Trump has it exactly right when he says ISIS is using the internet effectively. We need to take down internet access to areas with ISIS problems.
It's time to get serious, and Trump is the most serious I've heard so far.
He's not sold on Puting, but he also says we probably have to work together with him here. "Whoever wants to take out ISIS, I say let them." I can't argue with that.
Sorry rebels, you had your chance. It's over. Stop your combatant role and accept defeat. If you need to, move out of the area for your safety. Any hostility at this point will be seen as ISIS.
At one point Syria seemed to be leaning toward power sharing and a peaceful end to their conflict. I can't say as that doesn't sound like a very good thing to take advantage of at this point.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding this
to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our turn is
coming again soon. We stand united against Islamic
extremists, oxymoron or not.
Sure Pootie as soon as you get out of Ukraine including Crimea and stop arming/ supporting terrorists in east Ukraine. And Georgia. Never trust a Russian or give them way to expand. Russia controlling M.E. will make ISIS be like minor headache In comparison.
Putin is more of a world leader than Obama. But then we knew that.
Obama will NOT cooperate significantly. He might make some token effort.
