Thanks for posting this. I cannot figure out why on earth we went to Syria and made certain our military is fighting against Russia, near a base they had there since the seventies. God bless their baby.. And God bless us all.. Another country we have no business in. Jimmy Carter... Damn you to Chicago... Close enough, right?
Admiration salute...
Our "friends" the Saudis and Turks want a Sunni Muslim-puppet state in Syria under their control, so are supporting Islamist groups (yes, including ISIS) to fight Assad. They don't like the fact Assad is allied with Iran and supports Shiites in Lebanon. Assad himself is an Alawi, a minority sect in Syria, so must ally himself with his minorities (including Christians) to remain in power. The Saudis support every Sunni-Islamist group out there. The US wants to punch Russia in the nose, kick them out of the Mediterranean, and give Putin a black eye. the USA (obama) also wants to see a more pliant regime in Syria. Much of this also has to do with oil politics and pipelines.
what's amazing to me is that Clinton and the Fake "Peace Prize Winner" Obama, with their abandonment of Iraq, and civil wars in Syria, Libya and nearly Egypt - have created the greatest refugee crisis since WWII. Why is no one talking about this?
