BTW, I forgot to point out that your opening line was off—like aiming an arrow and missing both the target and the horizon. It needs a slight adjustment: 

You’ve confused Putin's Russia with the Islamic Republic of #Iran—how or why, I’m not sure, but you did. So, if I may, I’ll correct your statement as follows:

The thugs ruling Iran weren’t masterminds here; quite the opposite. Contrary to the bad intel you were fed, they were completely blindsided by the Syria blitzkrieg. For a week or two, the regime’s brain short-circuited. They were stammering, stunned, utterly paralyzed. 

Why? 

Because their “master”—their buddy Putin—never bothered to clue in the cow-herders of the #IRGCterrorists‌, the incompetent laborers of the Islamic Republic, or its politically clueless, incapable, corrupt, and brutal elites. He didn’t inform them that everyone—from the Turks to the Israelis, Americans, NATO, and every regional player—was in on the operation. Everyone, that is, except Tehran.

The only reliable source the bumbling regime in Tehran—that same herd of buffalo sitting cluelessly in the capital—had in hand crumbled before the “blitzkrieg.” As a result, the thugs in Tehran have failed—utterly—to produce any timely or real-time analysis of the region since the collapse of #Hezbollahterrorists.

But the reality extends further, even before the assassination of criminal Hassan Nasrallah. Everything Tehran’s mob rule has touched thus far has been a disaster: 

defeat after defeat, piling costs onto their own people while hollowing out their own corrupt, oppressive foundations.

Check your sources, Ms. Adams. It’s time for an upgrade. Better you modify your statement so it sounds more nuanced:

“Russia supported and approved the Syria blitzkrieg.”

Have a great weekend, Sarah—just don’t spend it relying on bad intel. While you’re at it, maybe reconsider your sources: 

No need to make your enemies look like masterminds when they quite literally aren’t; overestimating them is just as foolish as underestimating them. As the old saying goes, better safe than sorry—but exaggeration is its own kind of folly.
