Would you be willing to defend your country  against a foreign invasion?

That’s all Putin is doing in Syria.

He’s just pre-empting the tidal wave of jihadis that’ll be coming his way once the current fracas is over. 

He figures it’s better to exterminate these US-backed maniacs in Syria now than face them in Chechnya, St Petersburg and Moscow sometime in the future.

Can you blame him?

After all, if Washington’s strategy works in Syria, then you can bet they’ll try the same thing in Beirut, Tehran and Moscow.

So what choice does Putin have?

None. 

He has no choice.

ice.  His back is against the wall. He has to fight.

No one in Washington seems to get this.

They think Putin can throw in the towel and call it “quits” at the first sign of getting bogged down.

But he can’t throw in the towel because Russia’s facing an existential crisis. 

If he loses, then Russia’s going to wind up on the same scrap heap as Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya. You can bet on it.

So the only thing he can do is win. Period. Victory isn’t an option, it’s a necessity.

Do you think that Putin and his advisors have had their heads in the sand for the last 15 years, that they haven’t noticed the US rampaging around the globe bumping off one country after the other leaving behind nothing but anarchy and ruin? Do you think they don’t know that Russia is on the top of Washington’s hit-list? Do you think they haven’t noticed NATO inching closer to Russia’s borders while foam-at-the-mouth politicians in Washington wave their fists and growl about Hitler Putin and evil Russia?
