You know - the Russians were staying out of Syria and minding their own business - right up until Obama Biden attacked Russian ethnic civilians in the Ukraine, and overthrew the democratically elected pro Russian government with Ukrainian Nazis in 2014.

If the goal was to wake up the Russians, that move certainly qualified.

In response the Russians not only repatriated the Crimea into Russia proper - they also enabled the ethic Russian rebels in the Donbass to gut the core of the professional Ukrainian military - and that has been all but destroyed in attempting to attack the Russians, with at least five separate military drafts in an effort to rebuild it. Ukrainians are now emigrating out of the Ukraine in record numbers.

Then Russia went into Syria and assisted in gutting ISIS - and gut them they have. They've probably killed 2000 or more ISIS fighters just in the past week. Russia has also acquired a new military base for themselves on the Mediterranean - now providing them an excuse to maintain a heavy naval presence in the Eastern Mediterranean - including the nuclear tipped cruise missiles they carry.

Russia also probably played a key part in Turkey's split from NATO - along with one of NATO's largest military inventories. Russia likely tipped Erdogan to the coup attempt. Turkish/Russian relations, which were on the rocks prior to the coup, turned 180 degrees immediately after the coup - and many if not most pro American Turks were purged from the government and the military. The Americans were also forced to withdraw their nukes from the large NATO airbase in Turkey - and those nukes have been stationed there for decades. Now Turkey is buying new Russian air defense missile systems. It was also after the coup that Turkey invaded Syria and attacked ISIS - when prior to the coup Turkey was supplying ISIS.

ISIS in Syria was doomed the day the Russians decided to move in. After that it was really only a matter of time.

After Ukraine, the Russians sent several very stern messages to the Pentagon that their patience was at an end - and that they were prepared to go to war if pushed any further. They did this through both words and actions. I believe this is why the Pentagon decided to back Trump - and why Trump said ISIS would be destroyed. The Pentagon wants to prevent WWIII - that means they have to establish control alongside the Russians - not as friends, rather as enemies, like it was in the Cold War days. Superpower militaries calling the shots.

This is why CIA, the Dems, the Neocons, and ISIS all find themselves out in the cold. Not to mention the bankers. The bankers have lost the most of all, though they haven't realized that yet. Trump's speech at the UN basically said it all - the New World Order is dead. Cold War II is now in effect.
