#2 yes but

ironically, the Obama policy which allowed ISIS to grow and Iran to insert itself into Syria, has also led, although it is not the only thing, to Iran's economic weakness and to the killing of many of Iran's IRG and to many, many Shia militiamen from a variety of countries. Tragically, the civilian deaths have been horrific .

#3 Jimmy Carter's incompetence leadership led to Soviet over-expansion just in time for Reagan to cut them off at the knees. Seems Obama's incompetence may have had a similar effect.

#4 This might be a good thing. Russian 'peacekeepers' are likely to be more ~~brutal~~ effective than the blue-helmet UN guys. And while I have no direct evidence, given the way the Israelis have whacked various parties in and around Syria, it seems like the Rooskis and the Juice have come to some sort of under the table agreement as far as acceptable behavior and looking the other way.

Bibi and Putin have been discussing matters in person and by telephone for several years, SteveS. At this point there are so many Soviet Jews in Israel that there is a strong sentimental connection in both directions between the Russia Motherland and the Zionist entity.
