"The USA has made a colossal mess of the Middle East over the last 15 years,"

indeed. And has done so simply by not asking the questions:

"What are the USA's strategic/tactical interests long and short term? How does the suggested course of action serve American interests in the long and short term? Why should the USA care about [insert situation here]?"

All true and correct, but then consistency has never been a strong point of the liberal and especially of the SJW mindset.

With respect to Russia – LTC Kratman's comment about how the US turned Russia from an ally into a very dangerous enemy from my last post on the subject serves as a stark warning to us, and to Donald Trump as well, about the very real dangers of pursuing expedient short-term ends at the expense of long-term strategic realities.

The USA has made a colossal mess of the Middle East over the last 15 years, and now the very liberals and neoconservatives behind that debacle are lining up to urge President Trump to bomb Assad again. It is pure madness, and the God-Emperor should (but sadly will not) resist that urge with all of his might.

And now, the left is totally against THE RUSSIANS!!! The RUSSIANS!! are the enemy, not to be trusted, they've done everything wrong in the whole world, Trump is Putin's puppet, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam ad infinitum. First, the Russians are our friends, until about 2004. Now, the Russians are our mortal enemies, according to our leftist friends.

Similar to the left's convulsions and whipsawing about James Comey. When Comey called off the Hillary investigation in the summer of 2016, he was hailed as a pragmatic leader. When he reopened it in October 2016, he was a villain and an interloper who cost Hillary the election. When Trump fired Comey, he was suddenly transformed and rehabilitated into a crusader for Truth, Justice, and the American Way, a wronged victim who valiantly stood forth and refused to be crushed under the Trumpening.

Ridiculous.
