Our Errors in Syria

We are the cause of the destruction and grief in Syria.

They have long been in Russia's sphere yet we took sides to oust their leader. Russia was not about to let that happen. So, why are we screwing around there?

Unfortunately, former President Jimmy Carter lost Iran to the mullahs when we abandoned the Pro-western Shah of Iran. Russia moved in and we now have the problems there we didn't have before. Before this, Saudi Arabia was our ally. Even their King commented that we didn't know who our friends were.

The Trump administration must begin to repair the relationships we had before the Leftist Democrats gained power here and ruined them. What's at stake?

One of the major pillars of our economy is oil. And our nation runs on foreign oil; that's a fact. We are going to have to build our own refineries again. In that way our dependence on foreign oil will be greatly diminished. And that means we can disengage from the Syrias, Iraqs and the like. Let the damn Russians deal with them and concentrate on our national security and the security of the allies we still have by rebuilding our own sadly-neglected military preparedness, which includes our National Guard and military Reserves.you know, "Speak softly but carry a big stick."

Where Russia reigns they are trouble. As the troublesome North Korea is China's bastard child, so Iran is Russia's. And their meddling won't stop there. European NATO nations have to step up and pay their fair share to thwart Russia's historic appetite for expansion.
