Please stop pretending like Russia is just some country trying to do well and just happens to make some mistakes... no no. They are not even TRYING to do right.

If you read my earlier posts i don't think Russia are just trying to do right.I am very skeptical of Russia's reasons for bombing in Syria.I don't just think it's to eliminate ISIS.I don't even think Russia cares that much about ISIS.I do think they are there to prop up Assad and i think they are there to build military bases in Syria and to slow down what they see as western dominance over the middle east and in world affairs and i think they want to show that America are not the only 'big dogs' in the world.I also think they are deliberatley hitting the so called 'moderates' in the region to not only diminish the threat to Assad but to have a prod at America who have trained and armed some of these.
I think they are flying jets into NATO air space just to show that they can and that they are arrogant enough to do so and are not scared of the west.
I think all this comes from what they see as a threat from western expansionism with EU country's popping up all over their borders.We saw what happened when their puppet was removed from power in Ukraine,They invaded it so a western puppet could not start running the show.The Russians don't want Ukraine becoming a member of the EU or Nato,They have interests in the Ukraine.The Back Sea Fleet etc.They do not want another EU country popping up on their border.
Like i said i think both sides are somewhat to blame and in the end it does'nt matter who is more to blame because when these two bulls butt heads the fallout will be devastating!
There are far too many military presences currently in Syria.Let's just hope a 'proxy war' is not staged their which could lead to much worse.
Britain are now sending troops to the Baltic countries to deter any more Russian aggression.How will Russia react to that?Who knows.
