I really think it's silly of RT to bang on about Putin deserving the Nobel Peace prize.
It's not really "the done thing" for a state media channel to do.

Secondly - I think everybody knows that only people who are doing the bidding of the West, or are nice symbols that appeal to the West get the Nobel prize. So it's completely pointless. However it gives fodder to those who like to say that RT is Putin's propaganda channel and similar accusations.

The only way Putin can get the Nobel Peace prize is to allow Russia can become a Western puppet state, and/or have its resources exploited by Western (read American) companies. I really can't remember but I am guessing that either Yeltsin or Gorbachev got the Nobel Peace prize....

This said - Russia and Putin has been right all along about Syria, and I think even a lot of the Russia-haters can't help but notice that.

I am not too sure whether it's such a good idea for Russia to get actively involved in the war in Syria (i.e. Russian bombing just started today).

Remember Afghanistan, huh, Russia? War against crazy islamic fundamentalists...? Afghanistan was bordering the USSR and the Afghan gov't asked for help.

What happens when Russians start coming home as invalids and Russians get captured and beheaded by ISIS?
This might possibly be a milestone though: to show that Russia is back in business as a major player in world politics. Russia needs to be very careful how it's handling this new state of affairs.
