<p class="MsoNormal">As the relationship between Russia and the U.S. continues to get more turbulent, there is more speculation about an approaching war.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;Relations between Russia and the United States can&#8217;t get any worse. The only way they can get worse is if a war starts,&#8221; said Vladimir Zhirinovsky to <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Reuters. </em>Zhirinovsky is an ally of Putin and just received a top state award ;from the Russian president after his pro-Kremlin Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) ;came third in Russia&#8217;s parliamentary election last month.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;Americans voting for a president on Nov. 8 must realize that they are voting for peace on Planet Earth if they vote for Trump. But if they vote for Hillary it&#8217;s war. It will be a short movie. There will be Hiroshimas and Nagasakis everywhere.&#8221; Zhirinovsky had similar sentiments when speaking with <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">CNN</em> also.  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It looks Putin is ramping up for war. Thursday he told top Russian officials, politicians and their families across the world to return to the Motherland.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is particularly suspicious timing considering the recent tension about Syria with the Obama administration and that Putin just called off a planned trip to France.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obama recently accused and condemned the Russian government for the recent email hacks of the Democratic party. And Putin&rsquo;s abrupt cancelation of his Paris, may be an indicator that relations with the West are at an all-time low.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The conflict over Syria is only putting more of a strain on the already feeble relationship between Russian and the U.S.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Washington ;called off bilateral talks with Russia ;over Syria this month following the collapse of a short-lived, US-Russia-brokered ceasefire in Aleppo and Syria&#8217;s renewed offensive against the city&#8217;s rebel-held east,&rdquo; writes <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">CNN.</em> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> ;</span> ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The fighting over Syria is petty and it&rsquo;s unlikely that a direct war between the U.S. and Russia will come of it. But, the real question is what are we fighting for in Syria? It&rsquo;s doubtful that we will oust the Russians and get a clear victory.</p>
<p> And is it worth it waste resources? If we commit resources and win, what would we get? ;Likely a radical Islamic brutal dictator, who would be much worse than current leader Assad.</p>
<p> Not to mention, even if we did win, would Syria be a reliable ally to the U.S.? No.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ultimately, fighting for Syria has little strategic value for us. ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> I don&#8217;t believe it will come to all out war, but Obama&#8217;s aimless meddling in the Middle East is accomplishing nothing and causing a lot of people to die.</p>
