Vlad says "Nyet" to U.S. trained "moderate freedom fighters"

Gosh, who would have thought that Vlad would have started bombing on behalf of the Assad regime?

Syria and Iran now have their strongest partner in theater and bombing on their behalf.

I don't see "moderate freedom fighter" recruitment going very well in the future. How do they define "moderate" anyway?

Enter Vladimir, stage left. Putin’s own U.N. speech contained a bitter rebuke to the United States for working to decapitate regimes in Iraq (Bush), Syria (Obama), Yemen(Obama) and Libya(Obama) without having the ability to restore order. “Do you realize what you have done?” he asked icily. He targeted the contradictions in a U.S. policy that proclaims Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must go but that hasn’t yet created any practical alternative to the rampaging Islamic State

Strange, I think my very clear statement about bombing on behalf of the Assad regime is a laser pointer straight into this:

The deeper connection is Russian doctrine. Authoritarian leaders are legitimate, while popular resistance is not. President Putin’s claim to oppose Islamic terrorism is true enough. But he also opposes, with equal fervor and greater determination, secular democrats in his own country and in Europe. Russia invaded Ukraine not to halt a “military coup,” as President Putin rather oddly claimed on Monday, but to hinder a democratic movement by military action. In Syria, Russia has helped and presumably will continue to help Assad repress all resistance, not just the Islamicist variety.

Just another knee jerk hyper reactive post from EDN, nothing to see here.

The administration has completely hamstrung itself. Just woeful foreign policy on every conceivable level, an unmitigated disaster.

Per National (ProgLib) Public Radio this morning . . . the pending "cease" fire is just a total cluster eff. Terrible what Obama/Hil and U.S. proxies and now Russia have done to that country.

U.S. backed "rebels" now fighting each other and moving to ISIS.

What a disaster.

This administration's handling of the middle east is the most egregious colossal foreign policy fuckup ever.
