With so many groups fighting against each other in the middle east (almost too many to count) maybe the United States should pull all of it's armed forces out of the middle east and let Russia waste it's resources trying to referee this mess. They'll always be at least half a dozen groups willing to blow each other up in the name of....something. I predict after 10 years of being a very large target there, mother Russia won't want anything to do with the middle east either.

They support governments that can serve their (Russia's) interests and the rest can pretty much just rot in their own waste.
Not too different from Trump's Amerika.

Yes, the US promised democracy to Iraq and all Iraq got was another failed experiment in libertarianism.
Kuwait is still not a democracy. Wasn't then, wasn't now.
It's all about the oil.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure THAT one out🙂
Sweden need oil, and we know there is oil in Texas, so we go and get it, right?
US do it, so can we, right?
Wrong.
This is about morality. States just cannot go and get things from others just because they need it.
