Obama doesn't seem to be serious about getting rid of ISIS, anyway. Having just read the restrictions this most stupid (or evil) of presidents has placed on his troops attempting to engage and destroy the terrorists, I believe that ISIS will continue to flourish, thanks to the so-called leader of the free world.

Russian demands for almost anything ought to be met with a hypothetical knuckle sandwich!

At least until it stops interfering in its neighbor's territories and sends its surface to air missiles back to inventory; and its troops back to the barracks where they belong!

JFK wouldn't have stood for their crap; or indeed, criminal cartels merely masquerading as bona fide capitalists, or peacemakers!

None of their verbal agreements are worth the paper they're written on!
Rhrosty.

Assad should've been removed when he used chemical weapons against Syrians, but Russia prevented any action. Abandoning the Free Syrians now would make things even worse, and would probably drive many of them to ISIL because it would be the only option left.

Great article

Israel, being righteous, has many shared interests with Syria's Assad. Yes Assad has his personal shortcomings but ISIS is a threat to Israel while Israel can live with Assad's murderous Syria.

It would clearly be of benefit to Israel if Russian troops (in UN Blue) fought alongside Assad, Hezbollah and Iranian advisers in Syria. They could jointly push ISIS up to the very borders of Israel.

It is very valient of everyone to try and restore sanity to the madhouse.
Isn't it time to accept that with their genetic handicap we should
just erect a "Berlin Wall" around the asylum and let no one in or out.

Those in "the west" that are fanatical could be allowed in.
For those that decide to stay outside they could have imposed a legal
ban on cousin marriage. A few such generations may help.

The PC retroprogressive will be horrified at my suggestion but isn't
it starting to look like the only possible solution ?
Isn't 1400 years long enough to try the other solutions ?

I'm not sure what bothers me more.. honestly
The article or the responses..

ttbn,
Obama isnt trying to get rid of ISIS.
They are his proxy army funded by his ally Saudi Arabia to get rid of Assad.
Israel even provides medical care to ISIS fighters.

Rhrosty,
Russia didn't start the conflict in Ukraine.
You ppl must have bad memories, it was only a year or so back.
Ukraine was to make a treaty with the EU but it backed out in favor of a better deal from Russia at the last minute.
It was then that the Maidan occurred, instigated by George Soros to remove Yanukovych and start the conflict.

Aidan,
Assad never used chemical weapons on his own people.
This was a false flag.

Plantagenet,
Israel, Righteous??
Maybe we should remember the USS Liberty, (since it happened 48yrs ago yesterday) or the Lavon affair.
Maybe how it placed rockets on timers in Lebanon to fire back into Israel during conflicts there.
And Aiden you should look at these if you don't know what a false flag is.
Look at these things then maybe you will understand how Israel operates.
They are quick to make sure we never forget WW2 but they don't want you to know about that.

Israel wants an external threat.
Look up the Greater Israel project.
Israel doesn't want peace with the Palestinians.
Israel wants Palestine... and probably the rest of the M/E too.

Right now they are fighting BDS and trying to stop the UN from adding them to a list of nations that commit atrocities upon children during war, which they should be on.
