Putin uses NYT Op-Ed to warn US against Syria strike

Unfortunately, our politicians and media now cater to the majority of our nation, which is made up of 5th-grade-educated lemmings that do what they're told. That's where the voting base is nowdays.

Liberals have been successful at infiltrating our media, academia, "research", and court systems.

Our own president studied our Constitution intently, not to uphold it, but to find ways around it and to destroy it.

We're in a bad place that I'm not sure can be turned. Thus, China and Russia will both overtake us eventually, I'm afraid, in a century or less.

I think what you should do is quit blaming the other parties while Putin's large head is looking down to you and analyzing and finding weaknesses to exploit (like he did). Ever heard the term divide and conquer?

As for China and Russia overtaking you, do not be silly! That cannot happen. Besides, you got friends abroad whom would help you you know ;)
 
Including this edition of the Soviets led by comrade Putin.
Doubt he allows the dissent our Nation does during the Winter Olympics.
Or put up with a Ron Paul-type saying the Soviets triggered the massacre of over 300 children by Georgian terrorists like Paul did our 9/11.

That is the only respect a large percentage of this planet understands. That's what you don't understand.

Many cultures find our ways pathetically weak. They entirely reject our Oprah-induced ideas of what "respect" is.

If you can kick their ass, they respect you. If you can't, they don't.

Thereby it should be brought down to justice. It is also logistically more probable to deal with the side that committed atrocities of a lesser amount after the right people govern the country democratically.

All responsible for war crimes should be brought to justice. I don't disagree on that point.

In terms of Syria's policial future, most of the parties do not want democracy. Each of the warring parties wants power and little else.

There is power in democracy too. What do the parties want else?

Domination by their sectarian group, almost certainly at the expense of the influence, even basic liberties, of those out of power.

Domination of religion at whichever sect is wrong. Thus if it is so important for them to measure cocks with their religion they should take it outside of the government. Religion should be out of the government and let them then build in size with more religious proper means.
 
Really? I would have thought any and every decent person would want mass murder to be removed. That anyone woukd side with a dictator that was acting as putins man has done seems to me participation in the deeds.

The only question is who should do it. But anyone has the responibility to help prevent mass murder.

Yeah but you are always on the wrong side on every issue!

That's quite a statement. You've seen my position on EVERY issue?

No, that is how the world views the world. Your values are shared almost nowhere. Your sensibilities are your weakness in the eyes of the vast majority of the world population.

So far you have been on the wrong side Jack!

Assad stands for elected government officials, minority rights, and is the legitimate government entity in Syria.

MOSCOW, September 12 (RIA Novosti) - A potential US strike on Syria is fraught with dangerous consequences, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned in an op-ed he wrote for the New York Times.
Washington is currently contemplating a strike on Syria as retaliation for a deadly August 21 chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb, which it has attributed to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Official Damascus has blamed the attack on rebel forces, and Russia has tentatively backed its long-time ally, while calling for further investigation.
"Recent events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders. It is important to do so at a time of insufficient communication between our societies," Putin said in the op-ed, entitled "A Plea for Caution from Russia," which was posted on the US newspaper's website Wednesday.
