You’re really a McCainic, aren’t you? Assad’s opponents are ISIs and AlQaeda. And you want us to side with those bastards in fighting Assad (and when they win they’ll kill all the Christians, whom he’s been defending). Thank God Trump has more sense than you neocons
I do have to laugh at the bromance with Putin I often see here, however.
Putin is a thug and a murderer whose supreme goal is to see the United States humiliated and defeated.
To many people here, it appears that the US can just "disengage" because it's not in our interest to keep fighting or to confront Russia and the Syrian regime.
But you all seem to forget is that to our enemies, such disengagement looks like a retreat, and like any halfway thinking enemy, they will try to turn that retreat into a rout.
You all seem to forget that the enemy gets a vote, and I cannot understand how having Russia and eventually a nuclear Iran dominate the eastern Med is supposed to be in our interests.
