#2 Putin is managing things very well. Should Hilly be elected more of the same from here. Pulling out of Palmyra was brilliant. This calms the fears of the Russian people. They don't want war. Keeping Iran on a tight leach is their problem to manage in their back yard. The technology of Israel and Russia combined would be formidable. Many Russians live in Israel. I look for Russia to make overtures to India. That would be a masters stroke under the eyes of China.Well after all China just wants resources. Its messy dealing with people. Now if Trump inters the mix we should see a warming trend with Israel and Russia. Much more productive than the EU in many ways.

#4 Enemies tend to get frisky when they sense weakness. War is more likely to ensue. Obean is a weak and feckless POTUS.

#5 He's not weak and feckless. He's on the other side.

#7 OK, Barb. But you must admit he's doing a helluva job for the other side.
