Let’s see if I got this straight. Hollande of France seems to be siding with Putin of Russia in the unpleasantness in Syria.

Tells us one thing, at least – France recognizes that Putin has a pair of gonads that Obama lacks, and France would like to see SOMETHING happen to the bunch that claims responsibility for the Paris attacks.

Obama’s still into the ‘stern look’ phase of engagement.

Then Turkey shoots down a Russian plane. That puts a weird kink into the mix. You see, Turkey, France and the USA are members of NATO. That’s the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a hangover from the Cold War when The USSR (which was REALLY Russia, okay?) was expected to attack a weak member. The basic premise was that an attack on ANY member would be met by a response from ALL members.

Neat, huh?

Except France is a member and they’ve sort of sided with Russia, who ‘attacked’ another member, Turkey.

Turns out, Turkey was a bit miffed because Russia, having decided that Assad was the best hope for a sane solution in Syria, was bombing the crap out of any and all of Assad’s opposition. One of the members of said opposition was a tribal bunch, the Turkmen, ethnic Turks, that Turkey was backing against Assad. Popping a Russian plane was Turkey’s way of saying “Back off and go play somewhere else.”

Obama’s backing of the ‘anybody but Assad’ plan is one of the things that got us Daesh (or ISIS or ISIL – Daesh is colloquial Arabic for ‘people who trash things’, a fitting descriptor). It’s a natural progression of the Left’s breathless adoration of the idea of “Arab Spring”, where in a couple of hundred million rock-worshiping goat-f**kers would miraculously acquire the trappings of Western Civilization, sit in circles holding hands, and sing Kumbayah while we gave the world a Coke.

Instead, we got a little of the Apocalypse, gangs without any restriction getting weapons, fighting Assad for a while, each other even more, all clawing the be the ones who decide the NEXT despotic regime. Looks like Daesh is on top of the heap right now.

How to unravel all this mess? Bomb ANYTHING that moves within a hundred meters of a weapon. Any one. Any weapon. When you have a hornet’s nest on your porch, you kill the whole nest.

Further, upon the protests of the other rock-worshiping goat-f**kers, nuke Mecca. Yeah, yeah, yeah… It’ll p**s people off. Hey, bunkie, these people want to KILL us or turn us into rock-worshiping goat-f**kers, and if they don’t PERSONALLY want to weild the knives, they parade in the streets in support of those who WILL wield the knives. So if they want to bow to Mecca five times a day, it’s right over there, still glowing. Easier to find, yaknow?

Some will pop up and say, well, MC, that’s not very Christian. That’s why I’m mad. Between desiring a quiet peaceful life watching my friends and family and having to depart from my ‘turn the other cheek’ learning, I have to side with the fact that he who will not protect the defenseless, his own family, is worse than a heathen. That’s in the Book, too.

Interesting times. Watch Turkey and Russia. This could go off the tracks very fast.
