Overheard at the Pentagon: "Right now, we are Putin's prison bitch."— Nancy Youssef, نانسى (@nancyayoussef) September 30, 2015Zero Hedge: Overheard At The Pentagon: "Right Now, We Are Putin's Prison Bitch"
Those who frequent these pages are well aware of what’s happened to Washington’s strategy in Syria over the past several weeks. Russia’s dramatic move to enter the fray has left the US trapped, as the West attempts to hang on to a narrative that’s no longer convincing even to a largely ignorant public.
Now, the only thing left to do is either stand down and let Moscow do as it pleases in support of the Assad regime, or else get on board and acquiesce to the inevitable.
WNU Editor: In the corridors of the Pentagon .... it looks like the "new reality" of the Middle East is starting to make some feel uncomfortable and unhappy. What's my take .... does the Pentagon want to get involved to a greater level with what is happening in Syria right now? I suggest that this is one mess that the U.S. should step back, support our allies and friends, and see how it unfolds as Russia steps-up its involvement in this quagmire.
