Syrian War: News #20

Now, with all the screaming, fake and false news, axes to grind and egos to massage, here's what you, and I, have been looking at for the last couple years and in spades the last two or three days. I didn't write this, a comrade did whilst we were discussing exactly the events listed below. I post with his permission, he don't know of us on this forum.


"There is a larger Geo-Regional Shift going on, Putin has pulled the rug on 80 years of hegemony.
He’s more dangerous than Kalibrs and S-500s.
He has dismantled the Likkud, the Dems, the Brits, the Neo-cons and blunted the massive military of the Pentagon while safeguarding Syria for a comeback, stealing Turkey, protecting China and North Korea, stopping a lot of India’s nonsense with Pakistan and China.
And has stabilized Russia."

Thoughts?

What I find most funny is that Putin isn't the aggressor in this, and neither is Iran... it has been the west that has acted the way it does all over the place... Putins reactions and Irans reactions to the actions of the west have put Russia and Iran in the positions they are today, but are blamed for their aggression.

Putin has not been attacking the west... in fact the opposite... he wants good relations with them, but their rejections and actions against Russia leads Putin to make choices and decisions and actions that further greatly improve Russias position and quite frankly make the west look stupid and incompetent.

He has made clever decisions that are not irrational or emotive tantrums... they could have just shot down a turkish aircraft in revenge, but could turkey and russia have the same relationship they have now if they did?

All this bullshit talk from the US and EU... I suspect most Turks are thinking why are we on that team... when was the last time Putin criticised Turkey and told them what they should or should not be doing.

What leader of any country should be telling any other country what they should be doing?

Wonder where they will be sending SeigSoloyvov?

Trump was right to move out and it wasn't a surprise move, he said that since long time ago.

Trump made campaign promises to improve relations with Russia, and in that case leaving Syria would be very good for Russia and in fact the Syrian people, so in that sense it is the right thing to do... as long as it is clear they are doing this to help Russia and not doing it for any other reason because that would nullify the effect of leaving in terms of relations with Russia.

He has also openly dumped the Ukraine, which is another action that the Russians will like too...

Wonder if the next step might be to cross the Brits and say there is not enough evidence that the Russians were responsible for the Skripals and that all those sanctions and actions against them in that regard will be rolled back too... I wouldn't expect any apology... that would just be too much.

Of course the worst thing for Russia would be if the US started being nice... we know they are the devil so when the devil starts being friendly you need to be careful and aware...

I feel crazy saying it out loud, but I'm seriously starting to believe that Putin and Trump set a devastating trap for Erdogan.

Why would Putin turn on Turkey?

What chances do Russia have of good relations with the US... remember that bitch at the UN say America and Russia can never be friends and that the US will slap the Russians when they think they need it?

The US has been actively acting against Syrian and Russian interests in Syria... why even consider cooperating with them now?

Russia needs good relations with Turkey because Turkey isn't going any where.

And do you think anything Trump does is planned or could work?

He is not a good businessman nor a good politician... he checks the way the wind is blowing and then pisses into the wind because he is the president and the wind will change direction for him so his shoes don't get wet.
