You might wonder just why we have so much military might in the ME or so much in the world period. Just why are we there. If we use it half of the people will call foul and the rest wonder why. Syria has upset the whole area from Sweden and Norway, England, Germany, Turkey and many more with it's refugee problem and is killing off even more or it's own. Russia is apparently enjoying the problems being created and how many refugees have they taken in. If we are in the area to help stabilize then what have we stabilized so far other than barrels of sticky stuff.
Americans have wasted trillions and have had thousands of troops risking their lives and have come home missing parts of themselves for the rest of their lives, try living like that yourself and for what, to keep America free? It's time that something decisive is done and some backbone displayed or get out of the mess that's been festering for centuries. Russia doesn't want a war and it's doubtful they want more problems.
