Some praise for Putin from an unexpected corner: Former US President Bill Clinton says that although Putin was "brutally blunt," the Russian President is also "very smart" and always kept his word.

Same basic article is reported in US media as well:

I'm really not surprised. Mostly the Russians I've met in real life are brutally honest and they say exactly what they mean. I haven't met very many people here like that cause mostly people in our country just wanna mess with your head and confuse you. And I don't like being that confused. Well, it's cool sometimes but not all the time.
Btw, the Al Nusra rebel groups are rejecting the western backed Syrian National coalition. They want Syria to be a new Al Qaeda State.
