Divide and conquer
People are viewed as no more than slaves to be exploited, abused and deceived.
Money, power and control.

let's see how the russians deal with it.

And enraging Israel with the strong confident leadership, according to scriptures Syria must attack them for the Messiah to come, they are trying to make it happen oh so desperately.

Lack of a realistic end game and maintenance toward stabilization. And as we see now the overwhelming desire to kiss Iran's ass.
And Russia is simply going to break out their 50 year old hegemony playbook. Nothing new at all. But hay the US sets around long enough with the door open, by lack of action, shouldn't be any surprise.

i'm sick of the destabilization over there.
i'm sure it would have been better if we let the dictators in place.
lybia was completely unnecessary.
fighting assad is completely unnecessary and will result in more chaos.

I think you do represent old generation of geopolitical mentality if you are aware of 50 years old plans of Russian hege mony.
Sorry if I have read you wrong.

More like a student of history. Its impossible to understand what goes on over there without an 80 years historical prospective. What do you think Assad is? He has one foot in his dads grave and his handling of problems that have exploded there are a result of falling back on his dads playbook. Now the Russians are back? Nothing new. fall back default old school glory days bull slick.
