    If Saudi Arabia and Turkey send troops into Syria, I hope Russia vaporizes them.

    Yea, but they've got a LONG way to go before they catch up to the war-mongering psychopaths in Washington DC and London.

    The people are fully in support of the Kurds. They're the most liberal, progressive, courageous people in the entire Middle East, perhaps the entire world. They are fighting valiantly against that scumbag gangster Erdogan and his ISIS attack dogs. May GOD bless them!

    They are winning peace. The only way to have any sort of peaceful ceasefire is to completely destroy Sunni radical groups. All of them. And to destroy them the Turkish border needs to be sealed off. Everyone informed knows that. Without logistics the war cannot be fought. Al-Qaeda/ISIS and other radical groups cannot survive without Turkish supplies.
    The responsibility for the Syrian civil war and refugees solely lies with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the USA etc...etc...They started the war in Syria. It just didn't work out like in Libya. Assad stood his ground. And almost no one from his inner circle defected. Sunnis stood by Assad.

    Your blind belief that American is militarily predominant, and a force for good? Oh, and that your 'team' could storm (for example) an underground shelter in say Syria, and by a glance identify civilians from insurgents? :mrgreen:

    More than seven million Syrians have fled Syria since 2011 because Assad is such a good leader... and the civil war is not his fault..

    Yea, yea. Not like we see a post here daily from the Russian contingent trying to start a dick measuring contest. Perhaps you find something from a blogger on Moon of Alabama?

    Ah, nice. The old "I know you are, but what am I" Pee Wee Herman defense. Noted.

    Are you denying that western governments like the US government have been engaged in far more acts of aggression and militarism than Russia? Russia's actions can at least be rationalized as a response to US meddling in their region. How do you rationalize the US government's destruction of Iraq and Libya?

    I'm sure you can find a way to rationalize whatever dear leader Putin tells you...

    They didn't start anything. They're just responding to the aggression of the most arrogant nation in the world and their psychotic political class who have destroyed numerous countries and killed many thousands of innocent people since the nominal end of the Cold War. How many countries has Russia destroyed since the end of the Cold War?

    I'd much rather read something from Moon of Alabama than the subservient corporate propagandists in the western mainstream media. Moon of Alabama and other independent media don't have to tailor their message to the whims of corporate plutocrats so they are more likely to be truthful in their analysis. How sad that you find paid shills and liars more credible than independent media.

    Right, because anyone who doesn't automatically side with the US government's aggression and militarism must be taking orders from Putin. It has nothing to do with the overwhelming evidence and logic demonstrating the arrogance and myopia of the so-called "exceptional" nation who destroyed Iraq, unleashed ISIS on the world, destabilized Libya and Syria, and helps to prop up multiple brutal dictatorships in places like Saudi Arabia.

    Do you realize how dumb your views are or is this what you actually believe? Serious question.

    Good lord man, are confused that you are a Politoboro member from the 1960's Soviet Union?

    And you didn't answer my question. Is that because the answer disturbs you and proves how phony your outrage is?

    Again, are you denying that the US government have been engaged in far more acts of aggression and militarism and Russia? How do you rationalize the destruction of Iraq and Libya by the US government? How do you rationalize the US government's destabilization of Syria and their support for Sunni extremist groups who are indistinguishable from ISIS and AQ?

    How many countries has Russia destroyed since the end of the Cold War and how many has America destroyed? Why don't you just answer the question?

    And most intelligent westerners realize the western mainstream media is bought and paid for propagandists. And if there was still any uncertainty about their status as shills, then the run-up to the Iraq war should have removed all doubt in the mind of any rational person, which clearly disqualifies you.

    Do YOU know the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing definition of dumb? Or are you ignorant of that? Look them both up and you will find that ignorant is the correct word.

    My views are my views, just as yours are, no matter how ignorant they may be.

    Now head on over the another Blogging site and get that hard, cutting edge news.

    As opposed to the Putin controlled media in Russia? Or the Russian schills we have posting here everyday? Please...

    What I don't understand is how some westerners can spend so much time and energy criticizing Russia when their own government is arguably the most evil and corrupt in history. The US government are responsible for the deaths of countless innocents dating all the way back to their extermination of the native Americans after the civil war. Even since then, they've been engaged in a campaign of endless conquest, militarism, meddling, and imperialism that is bankrupting this country morally and financially. The US national debt is at around $19 trillion dollars right now and large swaths of the country are wasting away in poverty, debt, and unemployment. Yet people like Milo have the audacity to spend time heaping insults on Russia? Why don't Americans worry about fixing their own crumbling society before they go around pointing the finger at others? Put down your flags and your yellow ribbons and stop watching CNN and Fox News and start acting like a human being instead of some mindless, nationalistic puppet.

    Your views are the very definition of dumb, phony, and worthless, just like every other mindless flag-waving MURICAN out there. A dime a dozen.

    Still won't answer the question. Speaks volumes about the phoniness of your condemnation of Russia.

    I'll ask again: How many countries has Russia destroyed since the end of the Cold War and how many has America destroyed? Do you not know the answer? Do you need me to hold you hand Mr. Murican?

    And aren't you employing the exact same Pee-Wee Herman defense you just accused me of?

    And you're aware that we live in AMERICA and not Russia right? So if Putin is controlling the media in Russia, why should I care? I don't live in Russia. I care about what is happening in my own country. And the media in this country are pathetic lying shills who are mouthpieces for corporate plutocrats and the only people who don't seem to realize this are morons who live in a dreamworld.

    There has never been any shortage of people who are willing to believe anything authority figures tell them. Whether it's the US government or their mouthpieces in the mainstream media, they have little difficulty brainwashing the simpleton hordes. It's a scam as old as civilization itself. And the people who fall for it are morons and will probably be morons until the day they die. I'm beginning to question if there will ever be enough smart people to overcome the drooling, listless multitudes who prop up the institutionalized evils committed by the ruling classes. Let's hope for all our sake there are.

    I don't think many Westerners give a fig about Russia.. Certainly not enough to criticize them.. However there are nearly 9 million Syrian refugees on the move all over the ME. Europe, Canada and the US...

    Do you just suppose there's a problem or do you want to blame everybody except Assad?

    Margot, I stopped caring about your dishonest opinion years ago. All you care about is defending the terrorist regime in Saudi Arabia. I can only hope that they are foolish enough to get involved in Syria so that Russia can incinerate the Saudi barbarians by the thousands.

    I believe the difference is that the Islamists the CIA gives weapons to to only care about taking over Syria and have no intention of joining the jihad; they're nationalists, they don't care about suicide bombing Paris. The Army of Conquest, the Islamic Front, and the Authenticity and Development Front, on the other hand, are blatantly jihadist and led by al-Qaeda. The US even bombed them a couple times in the early stages of the bombing campaign but have left them alone ever since, as they make up a significant portion of the rebel forces, somewhere around 80000 men, which is about half of all rebel forces. Data on troop numbers within the last few months is not available; it is presumed that they now probably outnumber the moderate rebels as they attract more and more foreign fanatics and moderates flee the country. If you want to beat Assad, you have to side with them; otherwise, the rebels will lose. Ideological purity on the rebel side will only lead to defeat; and even then, it's still not enough since the Russians are now involved.

    Great article confirming what many of us have been saying for years. I suggested the possibility perviously that this Elephant in the room would burst out of the closet prior to the 2016 election.

    It is not like US politicians such as Rand Paul, Senator Richard Black and others have not spoken out against the US policy of arming Islamic Extremists to fight Assad. The problem is that these voices have gotten no mainstream media coverage.

    The State Department's disingenuous "moderate rebels" diatribe is on par with the Bush mischaracterization of Iraq and Saddam.

    I am wondering if blowback from this debacle could reflect negatively on Clinton ?

    Are you kidding? There's nothing in Syria for Turkey or Saudi Arabia..

    Turkey has been flooded with 3 million Syrians.. KSA and the GCC are sheltering 2 million since 2011... KSA is treating 9,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan every weeks in the 13 clinics they have set up.

    But, YOU can't hold Assad accountable.. instead you blame the US. Turkey or KSA.

    It is literally impossible to hold Assad accountable when you'd have to start and win WW3 to do so.
