Isn’t it obvious to you yet that Russia is in the process of stabbing its Syrian allies in the back just like they did in Libya? The same fate awaits any fools stupid enough to ally themselves with Putinist Russia. Ask yourself, why did Russia not veto the Libya no-fly zone at the UN? It’s because Medvedev calculated that Kadaffy would end up costing them more than he was worth. Now Putin is officially back in charge so he has to act like he is tougher than Medvedev, when really he’s not. Russia’s Libya and Syria policies are just Putin and Medvedev’s classic “good cop, bad cop” routine!”
Without Assad, it would be the Muzzie brothers and some screwball Imam in charge. As much as I despise Assad, I guaranty that even George McGovern would be calling in air strikes on the population if there were 10,000 fools with RPG’s IED’s and mounted rocket launchers running around in say Baltimore. If it takes the Russians to keep Syria’s weaponry away from the Islamists, good for them.
