I was just thinking about this...
Wait, so the Russians are willing to get involved in the messy business of the middle east?
This is absolutely brilliant.
Let them. That's right. Pull out of the middle east completely. Just do it. Why are we even there? To protect out Allies in Saudi Arabia?
Screw that I say.
We should protect Israel, that's it... it is literally the only democratic government in the region. Ok, simple enough. Plus Russia seems willing to play nice with the Israelis.
Furthermore... if we leave, the russians will then get the brunt of all the blame that the US has had in the last 20 years messing around in the middle east.
What, oil prices may rise? Possible, but not a big deal. If anything, that helps us as our crude costs a lot to extract. Oil prices stay low? Awesome, the Russians suffer as do all the middle eastern thugs.
The point is... there is no real good reason to be in the middle east.
It just seems stupid to waste our resources on this area.
Ugh. Just disappointed with the world. What a mess.
