115. Oh, I get it

You want Russia to put tens of thousands of soldiers into Syria in order to prop up a regime that doesn't have the manpower or will to reclaim its lost territory. You have been paying attention to that, haven't you? The Alawites are suffering a severe manpower drain due to losses in war and several generations of emigration. Without Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah, the regime would collapse in a matter of months. Yeesh.

Again, your strategy sucks. Don't get me wrong, the Russians are busy trying it right now. It's likely going to fail because it means staying in Syria, in force, for a very long time. After all, let's say they defeat the various militias and IS, then what? You think that will change a thing? IS is nothing but the former Iraqi Army in combination with various defeated Sunni jidadists from Iraq. They've lost a few times and they're still in the field, champ.

As for the invasion bit, that's pretty much what you said, champ. It was your goofy example of Iraq in 03, not mine. I get that you were trying to emphasize how the Iraqi Army folded, but you glossed over the whole what happened after "mission accomplished" thing. That's why I say your strategy sucks. You have a plan to start a fight and no clue whatsoever how to finish it.

Again, your strategy sucks.
