I keep saying Obama ( and I am fond of him and of what he aimed to achieve !! )
majorly dropped the ball on Isis — Before Sindar !
It was a case of either sh*t or get off the pot ! :
: he sat on that god forsaken pot for THREE MONTHS before he made a move - at which point was too late .
‘Zero hour’ : move / militarily engage When Iraqi Govt. Begged him to do so = Win .
Isis Established ‘Caliphate’ = talk to them on the qt : you Leave Us alone , we leave You alone = win .
He ( Obama ) did Neither .
Three months later in 2014 Isis attacked the Non-Muslim people ( Yazidi ) and slaughtered their men ;
took their girl children , teen girls and women as spoils of War , took them as sex slaves ..
Is when Finally Obama ‘moved’ .. : Too Little Too Late .
It was aerial bombardment , so many lives lost ! So many Innocents !
: and he lost the Momentum ! : from then on , Obama was always on hind feet.
A tragic mistake .
: The Whole Region to be handed over to Russian influence in no more than a handful of years .
Tragic , and We will be paying the price for it for a generation come ..
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
I think it's well considered by most that Obama got it right.
Trump happened across getting it right for possibly the wrong reasons.
I really do believe it's nothing to do with "tit for tat"
Ignoring the middle East is the same as stating we should have ignored Hitler.
And I really do find those images of beheadings most distasteful. Borderline upsetting.
Horrendous what goes on and some suggest we ignore it.
Not getting at Stephanie; I just don't agree with her but value her input

We're paying the price for a poxy middle eastern policy now. This entire quagmire is down to decades of America and Europe interferring in a part of the world they have no business being in, why would it be any worse if Russia expands its influence there? No one should be there end of. Its a complex part of the world for various reasons only a fool would think interference can do anything but cause more chaos.
Why the heck should We Care !!??
: Russia is and has always been an autocracy , much much closer aligned with ‘China’ and Their ideology
than with any ‘Western’ societies - those that espouse Civil Liberties , Personal Freedoms , Right to Dissent ,
Right of Assembly , Due Course of Law , RULE OF LAW above all else !!
: in My World Those are the Values I hold High !
: in My World - Those are the values that allows Us all to exist , and breathe Free !
: in My World - Those are the Very values of a society that allow the gay and lesbian and bi and
the in-between ‘Groups’ ( that YOU also Enjoy !!) to Exist ! To Live !
: Look at Putin’s crack-down on gay rights over the last Decade . Do you Care ??
