All of this is an information war. We are actually angry that they are also attacking “our” rebels too. Bear in mind McCains boys are literally Al Qeida. Yes, THAT Al Qeida from 9/11.
The truth is that the Russians are hurting the rebels badly and we and the EU and the Saudis and Gulf states deeply resent it.
The larger truth is that it's just part of a long range scheme to restore the Russian empire. Russia is clearly making their anticipated return. They were humiliated during the Reagan years. And with this piece of crap, saboteur-in-chief, Obama in charge, who has appeased the Russians in such critically important areas as missile defense and nukes, including the horrible "New Start" treaty and Obama-Putin Iran (nuke) deal, the last thing we need is another Putin butt kisser in the White House.
Always weird when Obama is involved with muslims.
And note the focus on fuel.
A President Bernie Sanders would try to hike up the gas tax like crazy. He might as well just bomb most of our refineries.
And BTW — that was the most vital long term strategic goal of bombers during WWII. An intellectual thought that bombing railways would be more effective at the major hubs. Wrong. Energy is what drives a nation both in war and in peace. Railways can be repaired quickly, but only if you have fuel for your equipment.
