The disaster in Aleppo was avoidable and is just as bad as it looks.
The Turkish-backed terrorists’/“rebels’” advance on Aleppo, which was analyzed here, came as a shock to most observers.

Something big is coming, and whatever it is, there’s now a heightened chance that the US will become directly involved.
The Pentagon confirmed that it’ll dispatch nearly 100 troops to Israel to operate one of its premier air defense systems, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), of which it only has seven in total.
