I turned on Fox News a few mins ago, and Donald trump was on pointing out that this is simply embarrassing. I have to agree. It's beyond a sad state of affairs we've got going...
Trusting a Russian with anything would be like trusting a child molester with your 3 year old. How stupid!
The obvious man crush the Right has developed for their fair skinned hero trumps the delusion of patriotism they once held. Once their buzz wears off, they'll be left with the hangover feeling that Putin has actually taken away their ability to continue blaming Obama for Syria's actions. Just let them party for a while longer. They'll soon wake up to realize Vladdy has slipped out of their bed in the middle of the night, and left them a cold and slimy wet spot as a token of his appreciation...
Not sure they love Putin, but they hate Obama. And since they have to have a father figure in their lives, Putin will do for now. Besides, Putin looks more "like dad".
It's not a matter of trust. I wouldn't trust either Obama or Putin. Actually, I would trust Obama to generally make the wrong decision for America. He has a track record after all. The point is that Putin is making a sensible argument and Obama is not. Obama is already providing weapons to the "rebels", ie al qaeda. How is that in our interests? Assad may be a brutal dictator, but as far as I know, he hasn't crossed us. Obama apparently didn't learn a thing from his disasters in Egypt and Libya. Now he is trying to destabilize yet another middle eastern country, with the worst terrorist factions waiting in the wings to take over. Somebody tell me how that helps us?
Exactly right. We are now assisting the very people who attacked us on 9/11. The same people we still fight in Afganistan and in other parts of the world. Assad has done nothing but slaughter his own people, which we have seen time and again is exactly what's needed to rule these savages. Given any type of freedom they go nuts. Oppression is all they know and it's all they repsond too. It's simply not our job to save them from themselves.
dudes, you are giving putin WAY too much credit. he is an authoritarian scumbag who is simply much better at the game of politics than our goofy pres. he saw weakness and like a good kgb assassin, he went for the kill. yeah he is right on this issue, but should it come down to it, i will support 'murica, and even our dbag pres. Until then, i will bash obombo nonstop because he is a total clown. let's think about this: our fed govt is arming the FSA (including enemies of our nation) with 'assault rifles' which WE are banned from owning.. they also want to take anything that even resembles them from us. LOL we live in one fucked up period of US history.
