What aims and what restraint. The red line in the sand. Him going to his international allies asking for permission to strike? Going to the various arms of the U.S. Government and asking for permission to strike.
The only reason why he had so called restraint is because he was restrained by his own government, denied by his allies and pummeled by the Russians.
He deserves very little credit he was paralyzed internationally and in his own back yard.
Lets not give him credit that he didn't deserve.
Just like he's being used by the Iranian Government who figured it out by installing a public relations bonanza as their president while not changing any of their domestic or foreign policies.
