Do we want Russia
in the Middle East, next door to Israel?. Read Aaron David Miller’s quote here,
also. “The issue with engaging Mr. Putin on Syria is not
that the U.S. looks weak–of course it does–because Moscow has acted and
Washington has not reacted. Far more concerning is that Mr. Putin appears to
know what he wants: to prop up Mr. Assad, oppose the U.S., and pick up
propaganda points abroad. The Obama administration, meanwhile, has objectives that are
in conflict with each other and, worse, insufficient assets on the ground to
achieve them.”… “U.S. allies Israel and Saudi Arabia, on the
other hand, are worried about Russia’s military support for Mr. Assad and that
it might extend to Hezbollah, too” Check out my three books on Russia and
Ukraine, wherever books are sold. Follow me on twitter @bengfrank
