But it's not about "Muslims" cozying up to the Russians. It's about ASSAD cozying up to the Russians. We were trying to install "moderate rebels" (lol) to fight Assad and ISIS. So we were trying to create a minor fighting force that would immediately be surrounded in a two front war. That was our dumbass strategy. Not to mention those "moderate rebels" turned out to be sympathetic to ISIS and Al-Qaeda anyway. It was a mind-bogglingly stupid strategy.
Mind-bogglingly stupid strategy sums up our Mideast policy since George HW Bush.
