Russia's Vladimir Putin says West is fomenting jihadi 'blowback'

Moscow

Both Vladimir Putin and his foreign minister have lashed out at the West in recent days for pursuing what they regard as naive and incoherent Middle East policies. The critique targets Western backing of anti-dictator rebellions in Libya and Syria, which, as Mr. Putin tells it, only fuels the spreading flames of extreme Islamist insurrection, including the current war in Mali and last week's terrorist strike on a gas complex in Algeria.

"The Syrian conflict has been raging for almost two years now. Upheaval in Libya, accompanied by the uncontrolled spread of weapons, contributed to the deterioration of the situation in Mali," Mr. Putin said at a meeting with new ambassadors in the Kremlin Thursday.

What part of destroying America involves hiring competent people?

Well in many ways they know. We, otoh, hired a chechen who was probably a terrorist to do research for the federal gov.
The UK loves to give the chechen thugs sanctuary.
Russia razed Grozny and the west sent in support, only to find themselves kidnapped and beheaded by those they came to support.

Trust me, this guy is stupid.

The depth of your position doesn’t engender any “trust”.

So, I’ll continue to rely on my own powers of observation.

The people who imagine Obama to be smart are Democrats ~ don’t fall into that trap.

The Russians have some very good points here, but one must remember that Russia is only looking out for her own interests. Which we cannot blame her for. Sure would be nice if America did the same. Must point out though that the entire no WMD in Iraq lie was started by the Russians who spoon fed the farce into their old soviet American agents. No one with half a brain would assume any Middle Eastern country has no WMD. They all do. And they all are ready to use them. In fact, half of them already have used them. Off the top of my head: Egypt; Iran; Iraq; and Syria.

What has compounded the situation we are in, was the no WMD Lie that the Russians promoted. This has allowed Obama/Hillary to fight a covert war against two Middle Eastern countries that both possessed WMD, with absolutely no personal consequences of losing track of the WMD. And that is gonna cause blow back of the kind the world has never before seen.
