A Bernie Sanders supporter who's post have been relegated down to innane and irrelevant one liners not taking me seriously is big check in the old W column.

The US gains nothing which fits right in to Obama's plan to knock this Nation down a peg or two

Obama' s a radical ideologue, not a proud patriot

I disagree. The entire point is to take out governments we don't like and to ensure that such a government doesn't come up again, which is why you have Libya, Iraq, and now Syria put into chaos. If you look at it, the US government has been targeting secular, anti-jihadist governments in the MENA region for destabilization.
 
Obama did bad by helping Syrian Rebels and now he's going to do bad by stopping

-conservatives.

No - he did bad by spending 500 million training 5 fighters.... and now he's admitted it was a **** idea that he was never behind in the first place. I think we taxpayers got off lucky only having to pay half a billion for those 5.

There's no good side to choose in that battle. Let Saudi Arabia do its job.

Apparently Saudi Arabia's job is funding extremist jihadis and working to destabilize Syria.

no, Saudi Arabia's job as a regional hegemon is to work to stabilize the region.

Because you know.... the strong retreat, but taking over the middle east is a sign of weakness on Putins part.




Wait. They no longer doubt that? Did they ever doubt that?



For the love of...

....how naïve are these people???




:doh

I'm going to start drinking now.

With Putin taking over Syria, it is best to get completely out by the USA.

No reason to stay there anymore.

:lamo I think Iran may have something to say about that. :)


Oh well. It's not like the two powers both violently hate each other, or have access to a large number of uber-violent proxies, or are currently engaged at all in multiple proxy wars......


......wait......

At least the middle east isn't sitting right on top of any major global strategic trade route chokepoints, or a global economic center of gravity, right?

I wonder what 200,000+ Syrians would think about that.

The Saudi's are peace loving wimps that know how to pump oil, run cartels, and bank money.

They don't have the backbone or the balls to train or run an army.

and we should encourage them to change that so that they can police their own region.

... Been paying much attention to Yemen lately?
 
I'm for abandoning the middle east except for Israel. There is no strategic reason for fussing around with it and no benefit to the U.S. I don't see how it is any benefit to Russia either.

USA get out of Syria.

USA stay out of Syria.

Not our fight.

then we agree. the US should focus on rebuilding the US, and the Middle East should focus on rebuilding the Middle East.

I wish them the best of luck. Personally I wouldn't waste another life or another dollar on the middle east (Israel excpted.) It is a rat hole and I'm content to allow it to destroy itself.
