    Even some Israelis are asking if America’s friendship can be trusted

    do we really need more tanks in Poland- a forward base? Permanent deployment in Finland?
    Is Putin eyeing the Baltics??

    We're in Syria BECAUSE of Izrael . We introduced subversion and armed and payed anti-Assad militias BECAUSE of Izrael- just like we did in Iraq. If not for the Russians Syria would have suffered the same fate as Iraq.
    The Russians , Iranians and Turks have spoiled that plan. We are not ' leaving ' because of any concerns over squandered American blood and treasure- we're ' leaving ' because we LOST.
