Thread: The crisis in Syria

I have one more thing to say on this:

You Russians think Putin is undemocratic and corrupt. Sure, this may be right, and I hope it gets sorted out one way or another. It's not really for me to comment on his domestic policies anyway, since they don't concern me.

But he has the RIGHT idea in terms of foreign policy and you should honestly be proud of that!
The USA with it's constant aggressiveness and rhetoric may have some of the European countries in its pockets...

But the rest of the world will admire Russia (and China) for acting in a principled way in world politics, and not using its military strength to bully, invade and oppress. Hopefully this will pay off -- sooner or later.

Your tax money is paying for the one English speaking international channel that tells the truth about what's going on in places like Syria.

It would be better if their tax money helped improve their roads and raise the scale of living in the countryside, though.

US intel report stops short of confirming Assad is responsible for chemical attack — RT USA

“Our high confidence assessment is the strongest position that the US Intelligence Community can take short of confirmation,” the report reads in part.

So in other words, US still DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAVE CONFIRMATION.

Blah, blah, blah... Just because they might be accurate about one thing, doesn't mean they tell 'the truth' about everything or anything else.

'It's not really for me to comment on his domestic policies anyway, since they don't concern me.'

Then why are you 'telling Russians' to think A or B about Putin at all? How do you conclude anything? LOL!

"But he has the RIGHT idea in terms of foreign policy and you should honestly be proud of that!"
Proud of what? Perhaps, they are just glad that his puppet masters are not pushing him to go full throttle (like those 'leaders' in the USA, UK and France?)?

Anyway, I agree with most of the comments regarding Syria that the USA is in the wrong.

But, there are no 'good guys' here. They are all just in for their own self-interest and what strategy is best for them. However, the USA is among the most unethical as they have participated in something so heinous in supporting rebels who gassed innocent Syrians. If there's no proof or evidence given (either way), the U.S. is committing the despicable in totally lying already without anything to substantiate their claims. Regardless, it is not their job to 'police' and people are fed up with it. Furthermore, to add to this, they are bankrupt so it is absolutely laughable that they would even engage in more military involvement. Do Americans not care about that?!? The polls show only 50% support a strike??!?!? I'm very wary of polls but this number is quite high. I wonder if it's just manufactured because the number should be ZERO.
