Russian President Vladimir Putin called the false statements made in the U.S. Congress by Secretary of State of the country John Kerry during the debate on intervention in the Syrian conflict.
( 0:37 / 3.94Mb / video views: 13121) RIA Novosti reported. U.S. authorities have been debated in Congress, the question of the use of force in Syria lied that "Al Qaeda" in the Arab Republic is not, Putin said.
"They're lying, of course, ugly. I watched the debate in Congress. Congressman asks Mr. Kerry is" al-Qaeda "? They say that they will grow? -" No, we speak responsibly, that they are not "- said Putin at a meeting in the Kremlin with human rights .
The President recalled that an international terrorist organization "Al-Qaeda" is one of the main divisions, fighting on the side of the Syrian opposition.
"The most basic combat unit - is al-Nusra so-called, is a division of" al-Qaeda. "They know about it. And I just was not very nice and it's amazing, we're communicating with them, we believe that this decent people. Well, lying. And he knows what's lying.'s sad, "- said Putin.
He also noted that the U.S. Congress may not authorize the attack on Syria, it is not his expertise.
No one has considered that Syria’s Air Defense systems were supplied by Russia, and probably manned by Russians. What will happen when we start killing Russians??
“What will happen when we start killing Russians??”
They just might return the favor.
It’s a sad state of affairs when the leader of a communist nation is more believable than the “leader” of our nation.
I know that it’s very hard to do so, but if the Russians shoot down a couple of our B-2s, it would be ... embarassing.
umm.... what was this translated from?
> “What will happen when we start killing Russians??”

Start in DC first, please. Did I say that? No, I didn’t. Sorry my other personality took over for a sec, NSA. You’ll have to blame the other guy...
it reads like an SNL sketch version of Russian. I could not understand it.

I don’t think the Russians stationed in Syria are going to just sit around and wait to get hit.
Putin and Assad are a million times more credible than Obama and Kerry for no other reason than that actual independently verifiable facts match their version of the story, and not Obama’s. This is the outcome supporters of Clinton’s impeachment knew would come to pass - if the President was allowed to openly lie to us, it would grow as all government does, and we would inevitably, at some future point (now) be lied to 100% of the time.
When I rank national security threats, leadership that is not trusted by the people to even deliver information accurately - never mind actually perform its duties - has to be no further down than second on the list. How can a nation defend itself when the leadership is so completely disassociated with everyone else, including its own military?
I never thought I would see the day when Russian government leaders wold be obviously calm, candid and responsible, and the America government officials, petulant, lying, irresponsible, warmongering criminal accomplices.
The S-350 is just deployed, only in Russia, it is very deadly for anything that files in the atmosphere.
What pisses me off is not one person has the guts to resign over this. If I was on that committee I’d ask two questions:
“Mr. Dempsey, would you consider yourself a ‘yes man’?”
and
“Mr. Kerry, are you well? Is there something wrong with your face? It looks swollen.”
"They lie shamefully' - Putin on the U.S. authorities' statements on the Syria's affairs.
The Russian President Vladimir Putin describes as 'lies' a statement by the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in the U.S. Congress during the recent debates on possible U.S. military involvement in the Syrian conflict.
The U.S. authorities lied that there were no Al-Qaeda in the Arabian country during the debates on possible use of force in the Congress, says Putin.
"They were lying, of course, shamefully. I watched the debates. A congressman asks Mr. Kerry: 'Is there Al-Qaeda? Is it true they're building up there?' - 'No, we responsibly answer they're not there'", said Putin in a meeting with human rights activists in the Kremlin.
The President reminded that the international terrorist organisation Al-Qaeda is one of the largest fighting forces allied with the Syrian opposition.
"The main fighting unit is so-called Al-Nusra (sp?), it's a unit of Al-Qaeda. They know this. This [their lies] were surprising and embarrassing me, because we’re used to communicate with them, we assume they're gentlemen and ladies. Well, he was lying. He knew that he was lying. This is sad."
He also noted that the U.S Congress has power to authrorise a strike on Syria.
