Our interventionist plan in Syria has more to do with concerns over Russia than it does about ISIS or terrorist threats. A lot of Brit and American sources predicted this would happen sometime this year. We have been preparing for it since 2009.
Probably a good observation in light of the happenings in the Ukraine which are a real stain on US foreign policy.
We should drop sanctions on the Russians, they are Europeans, and normalize trade relations so we can have a relationship with them for the long term. It will help as a bulwark to a rising China and India. Antagonizing them is a stupid strategy and so is sanctioning our trade with Russia.
