Russia seems to have finally decided to end the supremacy of the US and its almost colonial-like policy of interference in the Middle East, redrawing geographical boundaries, seeking regime changes and in the process creating so much turmoil in the region. It is unfortunate that the US ambition to control oil reserves in the Middle East and its tunnel-like vision of securing Israel and supporting its terror on Palestinians has provided an opportunity for terrorism to fill the vacuum created by the mindless destruction of comparatively stable regimes in Libya, Iraq and its failed attempt of regime change in Syria.
One can only hope that Russia re-emerges as a balancing world power, in partnership with China, seeking a more reformed and constructive role in restoring peace in the world. The political leadership of the US should also start the shining principles laid down by their founding fathers such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and men like Martin Luther King, instead of George Bush, etc.
