(10,745 posts)Sure, I don't see WWIII breaking out unlike some here, but the Russians haven't exactly been innocent, either, as they've been playing around with Assad from time to time.....if they were really that concerned about America's police role, Putin would have taken care of Al-Assad a long time ago, just like China's threatened with N. Korea as of late.....but they didn't.
If we don't play policeman, then there's a chance that Putin will.....which is why I'd like us to stay out as much as possible. Let Emperor Putin have his fun; Moscow will be sorry they did. Not that it would be a good outcome(especially if Putin wakes up one morning to find that a Syrian or Iranian nuke is about to detonate over Red Square......), but it'd be a good lesson for us, at least.
