You sound like Resistance... or any other 12 year old who doesn't know or care how the real world works...
No I do not. You need to understand GarryB that Russia operates in Syria to help protect Syria. Turkey and US do not. It would also be under the premise of Russia to protect it politically too by kicking US and Turkey out because their end game is the same - removing Assad.
Because there really isn't any political voice being used by Russia or Iran gives us the indication that Turkey was wanted in Syria by both parties. But I think the silence has more to do with them not knowing what to do now because of NATO's incursion into Syria. The reality is that Turkey and US is now giving their full support with actual airforce and artillery to the terrorist groups Al-Sham and FSA.
Anyway, my deep hatred of Putin comes in the wakes of Ukraine conflict and his inability to provide aid to Novorussia who deserves it, all because of politics, while hundreds or thousands are dying thanks to such games. Russia's resolve of Georgia when it was under Medvedev was the right actions. I was hoping similar from Putin. Didn't get it though. I am happy with Crimea, but not so much about Donetsk and Lugansk.
May I suggest next time to instead of skimming through the posts, to actually read them before judging? Because then it makes you sound like a 12 year old when you assume things. I already gave my reasons why multiple of times. Maybe reading comprehension issues?
If this is your issue it has no ground.
Russia kick the states out? how do you think they will do that. Kick turkey out last I checked the SAA was only so big numbers are a factor here Russia cannot wave its hand and summon fictional bodies. Unless they comment their own forces which would be a huge mistake. Yes have Russia attack a NATO member the United States would love that and I'd be fighting the Russians in the baltics states.
You have any idea the amount of bodies that would pile from such a conflict?.
There is nothing Russia can do in this case, this is way out of their hands. Unless the kurds somehow defeat them which isn't likely really.
Talk is cheap in these games, action is what talks but Russia cannot use force against Turkey is just can't unless it wants risk of a bigger conflict.
Also Ukraine? the worst thing he could have done was march on the rest of Ukraine. Most of the people in those regions vacated ages ago, this situation isn't Georgia they are two different cases so dont treat it like that.
Russia does what it can, it has no magic power like people think it does. Honestly in my eyes Putin handled ukraine correctly, In syria he is doing what he can he isn't a miracle worker.
I see we have another member that has reading comprehension issues.
You do know that Russia can go to the UNSC and demand the US to stop and the Turks? Before committing anything, they can use threats and those do work quite well. Simply put, Russia hasn't even attempted to the UN. I am more aware of Ukraine than you are buddy, and I do know so by family who still live there, so please, spare me your bullshit. Thank you. As I said, I want them to openly support Novorussia as I know that rest of Ukraine is a lost cause, and I pointed this out multitude of times on the other section of the forums. If they are sending weapons to Novorussia, then I will applaud them, and I hope they are. As it stands, there isn't any tangible evidence of such.
The United Nations...are you serious?. The UN is useless and any security measures can easily be blocked by the states, The UN would do shit but bitch and moan, have they forced Isreal to hand back the Golan Heights yet? even though they said its Syrian territory.
I said most not all yes some people live there and I feel for them and wish them the best. This is more personal to you is the thing here, I don't deal in personal emotions buddy only whats the case.
Also they have been given small arms, what do you mean weapons exactly, tanks or something? I know friend in the intel business who have images of them with PKP's and modern Russian small arms. PKP's never got given to Ukraine has you should know. These weapons came from Russia, There is other things but thats enough.
