ukit - re geopolitics and world police -
sure, the US doesn't give a shit, as we could have intervened ages ago. but like everything, the obama administration is playing chess instead of actually being forthright.
and, the US now backed itself into a tough spot when obama made the "red line" comments. so now we HAVE to act, from a geopolitical standpoint.
this isn't so much a standoff with syria as it is with russia and the resources that are left to be claimed. i wish it was humanitarian but, you're right, it's all just politics and positioning. however now obama faces homeland disapproval of intervention, but international eyes are now looking on the US and how they'll play the next move as far as promises made and militarism are concerned.
