Syria? Smee, this is about the ignorance and stupidity of the CURRENT president who apparently thinks America, your America and my America, should be more like Russia. You know, run by an autocrat who has judges, journalists and political opponents murdered, who sees that a handful of his friends get obscenely wealthy while the Russian economy sputters, and who just said he may remain as president "for life." A president, it seems more and more likely every day, that has taken 100 of millions in loans from Russian banks when no one else would do business with him any longer and who took help from Russian intelligence services to "win" the election...which means he is very beholden to Russia. They can expose him at any moment. They can topple the house of cards that is his real estate "empire" at any moment. He is truly their puppet. Does this not concern you?
