I do feel like staying out of Syria makes us look weak, the problem is that it's the right thing to do.


The problem is that Obama has been funding and arming rebels trying to oust Assad since the beginning. This is part of the reason why the conflict has lasted so damn long. The main issue is that Putin sees any rebel - Isis or not as a potential target which is where the US and Russia start butting heads.
