Should have crossed that Red Line right after the first Chemical attack on Civilians .
Absolutely agree. Van.
Trump can and will hopefully call for a complete cease fire under the assumption that his relationship with Putin is what we hope for. Civilians are being slaughtered. Rebels fault? Imo yes. They need to stop throwing rocks at at tanks.
Allow Assad to establish control and take him out on another day.
Bait and switch.

The only motivation for Putin in Syria far as I know is billions in arms debt owed by the Assad regime. There are zero natural resources in Syria that interest any country.
Russians can be excluded from Nato and placed under embargo eventually United States cannot engage Russia but we can drive them into economic disaster I believe.

Hopefully the end of that war begins. By the Time Trump takes office everyone is on board to destroying isis. We meddled in Syrian civil war long enough. Our objective should be to exterminate dash not fund AL qaidi to fight assad. Obama cutting military aid to Saudi Arabia and alquidi Arabian peninsula doesn't use our weapons against us.

Russia has the Ball now...not sure how its going to end. Those poor people ..
They really do. not a thing we can address other than engage them. Putin doesn't give a fu^k. He knows we will not, the man is ill. He's the wealthiest man in the world and some point we'll cut off his needs from trade/nato

It's not about natural resources in Syria. It's about running natural resources through Syria, in the form of natural gas. A pipeline going to Europe from Qatar would cut into Russia's market share and diminish their influence.

That is essentially their final goal, control of the region. ISIS is a direct threat to Russia & Iran, and they are taking matters into their hand. Its just a shame that innocent civilian lives are being lost....
