So I have not been impressed with President Obama's handling of Syria. While it's a good thing that the chemical weapons arsenal is presumably going to be destroyed, I am not convinced that the Obama administration's actions were really responsibl for that. And besides: a lot can still go wrong. Events move fast, the situation is perilous, and I fail to see much of a plan if the agreement between Russia and the US does not work.

The Fiji UN force has been released. In good health.

Well, that's good news.

Reports of Daesh's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Sad

Israel has about as much right to be in Syrian airspace as all the other foreign powers, including Russia and the United States. If you're going to be demand that Israel stay out of Syria, that should apply to everyone else.

Technically false.

Explain. We all know Russia has been effectively serving as Bashar al-Assad's air force.

Exactly, they are there with government permission.

I'm glad you two think Russia should never have invaded Georgia or Ukraine.

I mean, point taken, but Syria under the Assads has been an ally of the Russian Federation (and before that, the USSR) for decades. It's not like this is new or unexpected.
