Your move, Mr. Putin

"Not the guy whose face I would kick sand in. Nope. Vladimir may be cool on the outside, but is seething on the inside."

The noose is starting to tighten. Some suspected it as soon as they heard the news. A plane coming apart at 30,000 feet. Possible? Yes. Highly improbable? Also yes. Add into the mix right after it happened, ISIL took full responsibility. 

So what now? John Bolton (former ambassador to the UN) was on the news last night. When asked the "what now" question if the proof becomes almost irrefutable, Bolton had an interesting answer. Putin has no choice but to really show Russian resolve to ISIL. And (in his words, with my paraphrasing), "Unlike our President, he (Putin) will not dither and then write (ISIL) a nasty letter. He will use his military and go into Syria lock, stock and barrel".

I read an article a few days ago about the collateral damage suffered by Syria under Russian bombing. Unlike us, who tries very hard to minimize any collateral damage, the Russians just tell people to get out of the way. If they get in the way of a Russian bomb, then it is "I told you so". If Russia really cranks up its military (and trust me, the "Bear" is just dying to show off some new toys) all hell could break loose in Syria. The force that Russia will send in will not be 50 Special Operators just to advise. No, they will go in to "end" ISIL for once and for all.

My advice to our military is very simple. Use this opportunity to help the Russians. What happened to that airplane with all those innocent people aboard was just plain wrong. We could patch up a few wounds if we offered whatever support Putin needed. And if he says, "No thanks - we will handle this ourselves", then cease operations over Syria, pull our people out, and let Russian do her thing.

Sooner or later, even the most PC of Progressives will wake up to a simple fact. We are in a world war. Period. It is not with another country, it is with a radical offshoot of another faith. The group DOES NOT want to COEXIST! We can be nice, we can be accommodating, we can even play footsie. But none of that will help. They just want either converted or dead. 

Putin is starting to understand this. This group has shown they are a threat to Mother Russia. Therefore, this group must die. All of them. Pull the weed up by the roots. 

Stay tuned to this channel folks. I think things are about to get very interesting.
