Things are threatening to spiral out of control in Syria. The civil war threatens to become a much larger all-out regional war, much like the bloody Second Congo War 1998-2003 that enveloped half of the nations of Africa.
Washington is busy screaming and crying over Putin's military adventure in Syria, and Moscow is pumping out the propaganda about how they are "destroying" terrorists by the score, the actual facts on the ground is that not all that much has changed.
Russia's offensive ismaking minimal gains
Putin has outmaneuvered Obama. Washington is trapped by its own political rhetoric.

We appear to be reaching the "Thanks but no thanks" moment in our relationship with Iraq.
Washington is in a tizzy that Russia is bombing rebels in Syria.
