“Let’s hope Putin is also ensuring containment.”
Da. No worries, American buddy. I keep my eyes on them (damn. Dropped a kopek. Where is it? [two hours later]) Not see anything happen. All kopasetiksky.
You may have missed my point.
We’re NOT depending on Putin to do our job for us, we’re just hoping he recognizes that it is in his interest to keep a lid on Chem weapons, too!
It would help if we and they BOTH told Syria’s factions that any trafic in the vicinity of the Chem weapons, would be grounds for blasting either faction.
