They act out of their own interests. We don't. It's not rocket science, except to the lawyers who run our government.

Well Putin is 5'7", at 6' I would be looking down on that little guy. And an airstrike you say, well that sounds like he is overcompensating for more than just his height.

Yeah, a real manly president would commit to a shootin' war with Russia over a piece of real estate that is essentially worthless to us.

No, it would not. Proxy wars are fought all the time and we have done it multiple times with Russia without over going to war with them.
Are you seriously advocating for the United States to get into another proxie war with Russia over Syria? Assad is bad, but no worse than any other dictator in the Middle East. I don't want my son to go fight for Syria to get rid of Assad and leave the door open for an extremist government. I say we let Russia worry about ISIS. I'm not interested in sending troops to yet another Middle East country. We've already been in Afghanistan fighting for over a decade with NOTHING to show for it. The Taliban will be in power again the minute we leave, and our allies are scumbag child rapists who have no problem killing their own children if they feel their family has been dishonored. Let the Middle East go up in flames. Just keep those a-holes from claiming asylum in this country when the whole country inevitably falls apart when we leave.

No, a real manly President would have a congruent foreign policy to preclude such wars. Instead, he concentrates on inanities like women in combat.

There is much truth in your post. But your concluding sentence is pure fantasy. They're coming, all right. And they hate our guts.

Do your own analysis of foreign policy. I don't work for you.
