Oh we are really reaching to make a point now. I said I hadn't mentioned Syria specifically, you really need to put your reading specs on. I suppose my mentioning Europe at various point in this thread means I should now point to France on the map.
Anyway, I mentioned Madeleine Albright and, you being a historical and geographical scholar of the Middle East, you'd know that's a reference to her comments over 500,000 Iraqi children destroyed in the name of democracy.
I still think you'd be better off describing what Obama would have done had Zelenskky not made it to office and provided such a pro American/NATO impetus. So far you've suggested I am being presumptuous in that regard, so why not explain?
