Georgy Mirsky: "Bravo, Britain!"

“Now Assad has found a second wind, he is confident that time is on his side, because it is impossible to destroy his regime without a large-scale ground operation involving tens, if not hundreds of thousands of soldiers. And such an operation will not happen, this is clear to everyone, even air bombing are very problematic: after all, Assad’s air defense systems are much stronger than those that the ill-fated Gaddafi had, there will be serious losses, pilots will die.

But neither in the USA nor in Europe, I am sure, there will be no person who would agree to send “our guys” to their deaths in order to overthrow some kind of Arab dictator.”
