The Conservative Conference Day 2 - Left Wing Violence


Lets Get Real:

The Police should be doing more to make sure a democratic conference does not face such violent action, the leaders who dreamed it up should be under arrest, if they can not control their people then they are not leaders.   The far left always think they are better than everyone else, the real fact is they are worse, as they think they represent what is good and right thus their supporters can do no harm, the real fact is that they are anti democratic, if they can not win through the ballot box they go for street demonstrations, time for the police to read the RIOT ACT. 

Russia in Syria, and reaction of ALL rebels - Syrian Crisis


Lets Get Real:

The Russians should recall that mess that was the Vietnam War for the US, then followed by the USSR in Afghanistan and finally the post invasion disaster that was Iraq for the US.   These operations cost trillions, lead to thousands of deaths for the powers and those fighting.   The Russians are not stupid, they have seen what the Daesh has done to captured enemies, does Putin want to see his soldiers or pilots, burned alive or beheaded, this is the time to back off before its to late, the Daesh rebels will be after Russian prisoners, that means that the Russians will need a ground presence, that leads to problems with the Turkey and NATO.   It what happens after a crisis develops between the West and Russia that should be worry, no one wants these two forces to get that close. 

The Fate of Palmyra - Daesh Threat


Lets Get Real:

The destructive nature of Daesh means that the World, and that includes Russia and the US have to get their act together.  At the moment Daesh is a major threat, the Assad Regime is a threat to its own people, so the first problem is get rid of Daesh, in this the US and Russia should be able to work together, there needs to be secret back channels between the Russians and the US, the problem of Assad can be worked out later, at this rate Daesh might win by default, thus time for the US to send a special envoy to Putin, someone that Putin will trust, tell him to back off on the air strikes of moderate Syrian rebels trained by the West, and the issue of Assad can be discussed later.   On the Western side the US might have to allow Assad to remain in office, as long as he does not go even more nuts will his killings.   This is the time for grown ups in the room. 

NATO vs. Russia - Syrian Crisis


Lets Get Real:

It only takes a drunk Russian Colonel to launch a ground missile at a NATO plane or a hot shot Russian pilot to shot down a Western plane by " accident " for the Syrian crisis to get serious.   The West has to be firm with the Russians, and mean it, they have to tell the Russian bear or back off, they should not be allowed to enter Turkish air space at will.    The Obama Administration has to get a backbone, it has allowed the Russians to direct the policy changes in Syria, it is time for the US to lead.   This could mean following the advice of Hillary Clinton and placing a no fly zone in Syria, and standing up to the Russians, this will not happen as POTUS is a push over, and the Russians know that fact.
