#13  The problem, Bobby, is whose laws does the policeman uphold?

#12  Can't be a 'superpower' unless you are also the "World's Policeman".

#11  I look forward to seeing how Putin manages to hold things together (or not).

He's passing the hot potato (or a hot riceball) to somebody else.

#9  Putin is likely to regret his Syrian adventure as much as we have regretted some of ours. I'd be perfectly willing to sit back and watch it from the safety of my couch.

#6  Is there is a "Syria" other than a Caliphate of Damascus and its tributary possessions surrounded by the vicious Turkish scum to the North, the Bedouin rabble to the South, and the abominable Persians to the East?

#4  A superior evaluation!

Stay out of it and leave them to their misery.
