Frederic Hof writes: [T]hose who have, albeit inadvertently and with the best of intentions, transmitted messages of American weakness, confusion, and doubt to the likes of Vladimir Putin also bear an explanatory burden. They have left millions of Syrian civilians defenseless and have placed at risk the credibility and reputation of the United States in the process. They have much to answer for. But first things first: explain to your countrymen how you are not putting global security at risk by acceding to mass murder in Syria and by encouraging Mr. Putin to think he faces an empty suit. And in so doing, please: do not try to attach the specter of World War III to those who have urged, in the context of Syria and for over five years, a convergence of word with deed. – Atlantic Council
