The myth of US President Barack Obama as “reluctant warrior” in Syria is pure nonsense. Even his Russian counterpart, ex-KGB sickle Vladimir Putin, cannot convince him that expanding the proxy war would make the current – horrible – status quo look like a walk in the park. In its determination to arm “rebel” factions who would lose at the ballot box, the Obama administration has opted to play weapons-for-peace gambits rather than talk real democracy. – Pepe Escobar
