Russia backed into a corner. Today, no one wants to refuel its ships in Syria. The costs of the war increase and incomes fall.
Napoleon advisors said something similar and we all know how it ended... the Nazis said something like this, and again...
Then what? Russia default a new gov is elected, imposed, gain power, they will be Russians...
I admit that it would be fun that they would have no fuel. Personally I still can't support any adventure outside of Russia for Russian soldiers... its too dangerous and it's impossible to fight the Russian way, when it's about the motherland... it's like a bear... if far from dent with children... it's not the same fight than close to it while attacked. Attrition is for girls. Annihilation is the real face of war... the goal is not to attack or defend other people. Just smash the enemy of Russia from the border of Russia until the ennemies homes where ever it may, were. The rest bullshit.
This Syrian adventure is bad, and its organizational and structural impact will be much more far reaching that they yet perceive it.
One doctrine: for the motherland... what the fuck is Syria doing here...
But what does it has to do with the super potus knowing about Hillary email? Sad... because it shows how cluster tucked it became. In comparison to the situation in D.C., Syria is in peace. When the eagles sneeze the dragons take cover, No question asked.
