Russia has had a "foothold" in the Middle East for many decades. In Syria. The Russian naval base in Tartus "was established during the Cold War in accordance with a Soviet–Syrian agreement concluded in 1971" and that's just one example of long held ties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_naval_facility_in_Tartus …

Russia has always had a foothold in the middle east...Becase it is adjacent to that region! This notion that they're not allowed to consensually engage with neighboring countries is absurd on its face.

"And now it has one" - really, now? Our operation in Syria started in 2015, and in early 2017, when Obama left office, we already had that foothold - sure, it was gonna be a bumpy road to protect it, but our position there was more or less established.

This is truly incredible. When I heard the first reports, I thought Trump was at fault, but if she made the Putin comment, I can’t blame him for blowing up.

I never thought that the party of Humphrey, McGovern & Carter would turn into a bunch of deranged war-lovers/seekers, but here we are.
