All the young kids and people around my age actually buy into the evil Russia notions

What a coincidence; I bought one of those evil-Russia tickets way back in 1986. I was going to tear it up, but I decided that since I had bought into those freakish notions of Russia as a bad guy, I'd just continue to throw good money after bad in hopes that I'd eventually get a return on my investment.
However, if Russia had not intervened to keep Damascus safe, one group of our enemies would have toppled another group of our enemies and maybe even deteriorated the effectiveness of the Russia's powerful political and military presence in the Levant.
...win win for America - dead Syrians, dead rebels, less Russian influence, no more Assad
I'm a socially irreverent prick, so I don't care at all about refugees from someone else's war. Our solution should be to stop them at the border and send them back across the ocean. If their neighboring countries don't want them, then we don't need them here either.
...in a completely unrelated story, the morning after a terrorist bomb exploded in St Petersburg, there are numerous news outlets reporting that jets dropped chemical munitions in the Idlib province in Syria, killing at least 58 people.
