Former US Ambassador To Russia On Putin’s Decision To launch Airstrikes In Syria: In The Long Run, Russia Is Making Themselves The Targets Of Sunni Extremists

Former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, joined Kilmeade & Friends to discuss Russia’s bombing campaign in Syria and what America must do to reassert itself as a global leader.

Listen here:

Amb. McFaul said he doesn’t see what the long term interest is for Russia launching airstrikes in Syria and doesn’t see them changing anything on the ground. The only thing McFaul sees for Russia in the long run is making themselves the targets of Sunni extremists. When asked what America should do to show Russia we will not be pushed around, McFaul said we need to be giving more military assistance to Ukraine and putting more NATO troops in key areas in the Middle-East to show the United States is still the most important country in the world.
