Not disagreeing with Brent, but realpolitik only works when you like the
outcome. I tend to be absolutist in my war views, so the nuances are wasted on
me.
You are absolutely a coward in your war “actions” though…. War, for you, is for
other people to fight.

It is however, what's the result at the end of the day. The biggest question
is, what is the national interest? Usually it means whatever pleases the super
rich. If you happen to be on Soros or the Koch's side, then all is good. If
not...?
It's called realpolitik. Do you want the President to choose who to support
based on their morality and disregard the national interest? And how would you
measure their morality? Maybe the real plan is to keep any one murderous
faction from winning so they keep fighting till they've all killed each other.

Spud,
I will fault Obama for supporting the ISIS in Syria but opposing them in Iraq.

It amazed me how they tried to rebrand these intolerant murderous A-holes as
freedom fighters when these dogs of war became useful tools again in Syria.
From Al-Qaida our immortal enemies to “freedom fighters” just like that, given
the old Madison Avenue makeover.
The cynicism of the power knows no bounds and has no decency at all in its old
vampire bones.
