By Simon Shuster / Moscow @shustrySept. 04, 2013 On Sept. 4, the day before Russian President Vladimir Putin begins hosting the G-20 summit in his hometown of St. Petersburg, he accused the Obama Administration of lying to Congress, and said U.S. lawmakers were being suckered into approving a military strike against Syria. âWe talk with these people. We assume that they are decent. But he lies,â Putin said of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. âAnd he knows that he lies. Thatâs pathetic.â Read more: http://world.time.com/2013/09/04/putin-sets-uncompromising-tone-ahead-of-g-20-summit/#ixzz2e3qwMuGS
Putin and Pravda seem to frequently tell the truth as our administration lies. Its such an odd turn of events. Kerrys speech seems to have been written by the same team who brought us the explanation for ben ghazi.
Lol, you sound like the lefties of years ago. So I'll tell you the same thing I was told back then: you don't like it then I'll buy you a one-way ticket to Russia, commie.
I'm liking Putin lately. He called bullshit on the idea that Assad would release some gas when he is not desperate, not losing, is in fact winning the war and had no need to use gas at all or reason to anger the US POTUS. Now he's calling bullshit on John Kerry and good for him. Russia's rating just went up a notch or two in my value system.
Maybe we should collect money and buy you a one way ticket to Kenya. Guess how many people here will contribute?
When I listen to Putin and I listen to the Obama administration, both as reported by Public Radio. Putin sounds the more reasonable of the two. We should not forget the incredible hypocrisy, not to mention the lies, of U.S. administrations. Why should the present administration be trusted? What evidence do we have of it being any more credible then previous administrations? It is ludicrous for the administration to say we will lose credibility if we let the Syrians use poison gas and don't attack them. What is the point? The only countries that still trust the U.S. are the ones that haven't caught us in a lie yet; it's just a matter of time. During the Reagan administration we aided Saddam when he was using poison gas, ineptly, against the Iranians. We didn't say a word though we knew about it at the time. We were perfectly content to look the other way. And speaking of hypocrisy, the U.S. has several thousand hydrogen bombs; yet Iran who desperately needs one to protect themselves from a U.S. invasion or attack, can't have a single one. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articl...prove_america_helped_saddam_as_he_gassed_iran
I accept that... except with one small caveat... the marxists were lying then and the marxists are lying now. The majority of the country knows Kerry and Obama are wrong. Its the political machine vs the people on this one. And in america the people still win because we as a people are so well armed there is no way a bunch of leftists could dream of controlling us for long. don't tread us besides you said your are marxist in a sense of the worker only. you really think the workers support this?
So no one besides me is concerned about the double standard here? http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articl..._he_gassed_iran
