I don’t understand why the United States has abused it’s “sole super power” status since the fall of the Soviet Union. For whatever reason we did, I defy anyone to truthfully say that America is better off since we turned our diplomacy over to the defense department and broker diplomacy through the notion of force.

This is a good TV report of the liberation of Deir ez Zor in Syria. The English subtitles explain all. Another great example of how to provide military aid to a country. Actually support the countries’ military. Provide real aid to the locals once the local army wins. These folks will remember the Russians for decades for helping, not killing.
