Putin was CORRECT to state that WE brought on all this Middle East crap with destabilizing Iraq by invading and taking out Saddam. Now we want to do the same with Syria, take out Assad. Then what? Who takes over?
Putin sees the future and has decided to prevent it. That future is BLEAK. It is NOT our job to free Syrians from Assad, and eave them to fend for themselves in the sea of shit that the Middle East has now become.
Putin stands on the DNA of history. what does McCain stand on? His Old West bravado? You can't even go downtown on that nickel.
