Putin will run out of Money or Young Russians
Chaos is what Øbama gave us. If anything, Putin is cleaning it up.
How is chaos measured? In syria, chaos would seem to be in charge.
Leading from behind.
Sorry, I don’t believe this one
I’m sorry, this is not 1950 and I’m not worried about Russia attacking Texas.
Russia has many internal issues and there is nothing for Russia to gain from attacking us. If Putin wants a middle east adventure - go for it.
The oil situation is not what is has been either. If the mooselimbs and Russia decided to cut us off of oil, we have the ability to become self-sufficient very quickly - if our government would allow it. Let Europe and Japan fend for themselves - I might care a little about Japan, but nothing for Europe.
Altogether, Russia is no concern of mine. We have lots of things to worry about and Russia is not on it.
Well, at least somebody has a goal in this mess.
It sure as hell ain’t the US.
Chaos is obviously Obama’s goal.
He has an axe to grind.
I don't perceive Russia, with this intervention in Syria (or, Ukraine for that matter) as acting outside their historic strategic interests.
I do not believe they are a near term threat to Western Europe or the USA.
They've evolved quite a ways from Godless Communists, though still one could hardly call Russia a liberal democracy.
Putin moved on Ukraine and Syria — predictably after prolonged deliberate and highly provocative interference in both places by Obama and Soros and comrades. I’m no Putin fan - not at all - but we need to be honest with ourselves if we are to have any chance of finding any solutions that can work. we can sometimes fool ourselves - and we can be fooled by lying political and media hacks - but the Russians have a much longer experience with these things so that they’re seldom taken in by them. It is a serious disadvantage to let ourselves be the one misguided or “duped” party to a contest, especially while the other major player has a very clear view of reality and its interests in the real world
Which is why the Dilly Dally Bama will dither and do nothing but criticize his successor's handling from the sidelines. Of course, if that successor is Trump, there will be no hesitation in disclosing the details of the mess that was inherited.
Indeed. Putin sent his Chechen terrorists for ISIS to Syria, the same Kremlin collaborators he used, to import whahabists in order to quell home-grown Chechens wish for independence.
Assad also supported ISIs initialy for the same reasons.
