Iran’s Agony in Syria

[kingblaze84]

Syrians are celebrating Assad's 3rd term win tonight.....the celebrations are pretty open, which surprised me. It looks like his govt still has the most power in that nation right now. Props to him, the Iranians and Russians for being a decent front against radical Islam right now, despite American govt wanting to remove Assad from power for some reason

I'm not worked up about the sanctions either. I just hope Russia doesn't try to boomerang the sanctions into a way that actually hurts America or its allies. But I have a feeling it will somehow...

well, the sanctions are at least based on something of consequence so i can't be that mad in principle and affecting their cash flow is probably the only real way to affect Putin's friends. it is what it is.

You and those guns man. There's more to life then just gun collection you know.

honestly i wouldn't ever expect to see that unless there was a scenario where Russia forced NATO to put up or shut up. and i do not think even Putin wants that (even if only for economic reasons)

And I was just joking about the gun thing lol

too late; had to buy another gun to restore my self-esteem
