Loading ...that Russia wins in Aleppo ..it now controls more mid East Politics which also means it is now their PROBLEM and it is THEIR Neighborhood ! Iran is their problem, Muslims are THEIR problem ! This happens at a time when energy is not a problem for the US.
Our own politics have changed and our own laws about oil ,Gas and Coal will no longer work against us to Russias advantage ! We were own own worst enemy ! We didnt have the will to control the Muslims ,the Russians do ! however brutal it may be .Its whats needed.!
Its not in their interest to have a nuclear Power in Iran to rival Russian influence ! Russia needs to spend millions restoring Syria and the War torn area ! As long as we are not stupid enough to send aid and let Russia bear the burden on their treasury they wont have money enough to create trouble else where ! It all takes MONEY ! Its now Russias Bank account that gets drained !
We need to keep Turkey as a buffer zone for Europe and NATO needs to rebuild and modernize under trumps control ! He knows it ..thats why he criticized NATO in the first place .! NATO needs to strengthen its military and then pull back from Russian Borders.
The Russians will get the message …”speak softly and carry a big Stick”.They respect Power ! Thats why they had NO respect for Obama ! He put troops on their BORDER that were weak and that invites confrontation ! Pull back from their Border with a Strong force and that keeps the peace ! They respect that and they save face ! ALL threats are diminished.
