What does that actually mean? Her point in that tweet was pointing out the absurdity of our involvement in Syria. Our stated mission was to "defeat ISIS" - but Putin & Iran were actually doing that, yet we tried to thwart their effort because of the pro-Saudi, pro-Israeli position that we serve to oust Assad (who is supported by Iran).

It's way more complicated than most people want to accept - and to say that she is "pro-bombing Muslims" is absurd. You can disagree w/ her policy without falsely accusing her of wanting to bomb Muslims.

Syria isn't about 9/11 - it's about a proxy-war between Saudi Arabia/Israel and Iran - and the utilization of ISIS to destabilize governments which formed after we destroyed Iraq's moderate society and inflamed extremist fires throughout the region, leading to the creation of ISIS (which is an extension of Wahhabi hard-line Saudi ideology).

There is nothing "Pro-Putin/Russia" about that.
