    Bringing Hitler into the mix is generally a losing proposition.
    Sanitizing Hitler is not usually the choice of reasonable people.

    Oh Sean.

    Tillersons odds this week in Russia
    2-1 remove Assad and remove Russian sanctions
    10-1 status quo and a bunch of hot air about "open communication"
    15-1 total breakdown, further entrenchment of ideas
    25-1 polonium sandwhich.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Not a chance. More like him and Putin is sure that no one will listen the USA and allies have to say...

    Sean spicer denys the holocaust, even though it's obvious he was referring to hitler's reluctance to use poison gas on the battlefield and he mentions the holocaust in the same speech.

    Sean spicer is set upon by journalists out for blood, part 182: this time he caves.

    Trump needs to relieve this guy, he's clearly traumatized. Find someone who is better suited to surviving the shark tank.

    I disagree this is a big loud statement to the world that the Obama era's constant retreat is over and those small nations that provoke the USA are no longer safe. To have little ultimate impact on the syrian war effort is in america's favour as it is not to thier benefit for assad to lose, but having assad run screaming to putin to beg for more russian entanglement is. It wil be interesting to see how trump tries to capitalize on this shock to the system.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Yet Trump was saying the exact opposite as of a few days ago and throughout the campaign about how he was going to get the USA out of NATO / the Middle East and so on.

    Obama's "retreat" included attacks in Lybia, and sending black hawks into Pakistan on an illegal assassination mission.

    Trump sent in a small attack that managed to damage one of the 22 airbases in Syria. And then... silence. As there is no real strategy.

    Russian entanglement? Apart from the planes, helicopters and ships? Oh I see - it is a ploy to cunningly get Russia to take control of the assets they want and now seem to be helping against an illegal act by the USA. That is such a cunning plan...

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
