Let us not talk about the Muslim factor in this whole complex situation lest TTP should take matter in its hands and declare jihad both against Russia and the new Ukrainian government.

On a serious note, Washington has successfully managed to create a situation in Ukraine to engage Russia in the trouble nation and avenge diplomatic defeat it was meted out to in Syria largely thanks to Moscow. By securing permission from its parliament to cross into Ukraine, Putin seems to have walked into the trap the US laid for him wherein he will have to face the combined wrath of the entire EU bloc, plus the US itself.

Tough situation for the tough guy.

Who thinks that Obama actually couldn’t pull a Libya over Assad if he wanted to? Sure, there is the UN but it was taken along for Libya.

I think the bigger question is that is Israel on board? They rather deal with the devil they know than the one they don’t, not that Assad has been such a devil to them with them taking out missile deliveries to hezbollah. Ok, there is the rebel excuse now but why didn’t Syria respond back to the IDF airstrike on their reactor if they couldn’t identify the israeli jets that swooped in from the weak spots in the air defenses? Why not do a retaliatory strike on golan heights?
