#4 The problem is that the US & Western political class believes that neither Western territory nor Western freedom and sovereignty are 'sacrosanct.'

The West has already surrendered to one form of alien tyranny in the face of an enemy who is pathetically weak.

Why shouldn't the West make major concessions to another, milder tyranny supported by a military power that is not so weak?

The worst consequence of losing the 9/11 war is the erosion of Western deterrence.

Rational soviet leaders had to predict American responses in light of WW2. 21th century serious adversaries will do so in light of 9/11.

#7 What's even more disturbing is that he obviously hasn't learned anything from his Syrian red line flub. He just keeps on making the same mistakes over and over again.

#9 How nice, when your chain has been yanked,
To hear Barry say "sacrosanct,"
For he's bound by his word
Like Houdini interred,
So he's sure to look shocked when you're shanked.

#11 Didn't the western powers say something like this before Sept. 1, 1939? Sure did Poland a hell of a lot of good.
