Putin Gives Obama / Kerry The Finger....Again

I haven't heared anything about ISIS before the Khaddaffy death.

I also haven't heared anything about libyan criminals, except a some frames in "Back to the Future" :)) But now I hear about libian terrorism almost everyday. What's wrong?
Whose fault is it that you are poorly informed?

Can you refill my lack of information about Khaddaffy times? By links to facts, offcourse...

Here is an Arab viewpoint.

aljazeera.com/indepth/2011/02/201122117565923629.html

I don't believe in sources from countries with laws, allowed slavery and total women discrimination.
Don't believe in? Momar was brutal dictator and terrorist or terrorist financier for almost a half of a century. That isn't something to believe in, like a religion or ideology. You believe facts or you believe nonsense propaganda. You seem to be stuck in the propaganda world.
Bottom line is that the US and west always pours billions into rebuilding, supporting refugees, etc. Your master Putin and his Russian military will do the killing and slaughtering part, the indiscriminate bombing and destruction of entire towns and cities, but he nor they will rebuild or support the refugees they create. Perhaps they pay attention to places inside Russia like Chechnya, but don't expect them to rebuild what they are turning int rubble in Syria.

And what facts do you mean?

"In the West, Gaddafi is strongly associated with "terrorism" ? Yes, it's a result of western media efforts. Lockerby? There are still no any guarantied proofs of Khaddaffy trace... He was a adequate leader of his country, he made good life for all citizens in Libya, except several crimes.... He was built a grand-project to delivery fresh waters to all desert regions from-under Sakhara reservoir - do you know about it? He made only two mistakes. First - he was owner of too much debts of european leaders, he sponsored them too much to stay alive.
Second - he recognized false guilt of Lockerby... Stupid Putin did the same with Katyn - claim the corpses of polish officers "murdered by Stalin's soldiers in 1939 " - with nazies methodics of killing, by nazis' weapon... and buried with coins, buttons and newspaper scraps in pockets, dated by 1940-41 years....
 
We should have stayed out of Syria's Civil War. And we shoud have requested our 'allies' do the same. ISIS couldn't have been possible without Saudi and Turkish support. The best move now would be to allow Russia and Iran to exterminate ISIS. We don't need more war. Let them sort Syria out.

Although I mostly agree, the last part I am having hard time to do so.

The last time Russia got involved to "sort" anything out, they annexed a whole region.

When Russia sorts things out, it is not in your best interest, imho...

I don't get why the West wants another Cold War with Russia. Just seems completely unnecessary and pointless. We played a big role in creating ISIS over there. We should just acknowledge that and allow Russia and Iran to wipe it out. Then we should move to disengage from the Middle East. We've done enough damage over there.
 
We start a war with Russia and this country is toast, from sea to shining sea.

A new Cold War is already underway. And the West was the aggressor for the most part. Putting missiles in Russia's backyard was the start of the war. All during Russia's collapse, the West repeatedly kicked it when it was down. The West grew very hostile and aggressive in that time. It's given Russia no choice but to fight back. The war is on.
 
Ruskies tried like hell to infiltrate and control govt's in Cuba, Central America, South America..But they lost their empire and the US walked into those places and took over..Then as an added value the Ruskies lost control of their Eastern European empire, which the USA was happy to step in and take over.....Giving those folks the freedom they deserve from Rusky control.......

And also Russkies developed a devils' machine to infiltrate your mind and make you unhappy everyday :)
 
But getting back to killing civilians. Seriously, how can the U.S. preach to others about that? No other nation has even come close to slaughtering as many civilians as the U.S. has the last 30yrs or so. That's the ugly truth America. Wake the fluck up.

Paulitician, no matter how solid your arguments are, those libtards will never agree with them: too dumb and seriously brainwashed to see the truth.

Henry Kissinger visited Putin this week and wrote an article. He says: "Russia is NO threat to US"

Today threats more frequently arise from the disintegration of state power and the growing number of ungoverned territories. This spreading power vacuum cannot be dealt with by any state, no matter how powerful, on an exclusively national basis. It requires sustained cooperation between the United States and Russia, and other major powers.

Regarding Syria, it is clear that the local and regional factions cannot find a solution on their own. Compatible U.S.-Russian efforts coordinated with other major powers could create a pattern for peaceful solutions in the Middle East and perhaps elsewhere.

What challenges do the changes pose to both Russian and American national interests? How do we reconcile the very different concepts of world order that have evolved in Russia and the United States—and in other major powers—on the basis of historical experience? The goal should be to develop a strategic concept for U.S.-Russian relations within which the points of contention may be managed.

Kissinger’s Vision for U.S.-Russia Relations
Actually it is high time to scrap NATO and build a U.S.-Russian alliance to counter balance the China threat.

I think it's too late for that. Looks like the West wants another Cold War. It's looking more like a Russia-China alliance is gonna happen instead.

China is really unpredictable. By the China propaganda - it's a "middle-earth empire inside a ring of barbarians".

True, but It does seem to be moving closer to a Russian alliance. They'll try and balance things. The West has grown extremely aggressive and is engaging in war all over the world. I think Russia and China are gonna try to balance the power a bit. But we'll see.

Only one reason for China to move close to alliance - a Chinese military weakness... But without it they're waiting good moment and new sanctions against Russia to increase own prices and get more profit...

Otherwise, Russia have all abilities to build authonomy in economics again, but very stupid ministers of finances, economics and so on... They really playing against Russia - and it seems, the main reason of it - their incredible stupidity... :(

:) Yeah, I think so... At least - what reason for U.S. to take a part with client's provocations - like in Turkey... It seems, turkish, baltic and polish extremists are allowed to command U.S. army because of NATO protocols... :)

"We start a war with Russia and" it would be "star wars"

But you are making the mistake to take Russia as a force aiming peace in the region.

What you will get in the mid east with the involvement of Russia is not going to be any different from what you got with the American military complex getting involved in the mid east.

American military complex "wanted" to destabilize the region, which would in return profit them at the end.
Now Russia goes in with the same exact intentions, destabilize even more, so Russia stays as the primary gas supplier to Europe and can market and make extra profit with her cheaper than US weaponry.

If US is honest about "fixing" what she has broken, leaving it to Russia to "sort" it out is not the way to do it.

I see nothing wrong with that.
There were many wrongs in U.S. involvements in the ME. But one cannot right a wrong with another wrong such as leaving a vacuum after the fuckup.

you are psychotic

How so? The West especially the US, has been doing most of the invading and bombing aound the world in recent decades. I think Russia and China are gonna seek an alliance to balance the power a bit.

Russia and china are already in an alliance -----together with Iran and Syria ---and
the SHIIITE moiety of jihadist pigs world wide. What "recent decades"? The US has "invaded" no one------bombs are going off all over the world-----including lots of Shiite pig bombs -----mostly funded by Iran
 
You see nothing wrong with what exactly?
Shit, I did not highlight Russia selling natural gas and weaponry. It's a free market or should be.


But Russia is not after "free market" of gas and oil, its the opposite, she is trying to become the monopoly.

Europeans tried to get a direct route from the Central Asia, under the Caspian to Azerbaijan, and to Georgia, and to Crimea under the black sea and to Bulgaria from there, called it the "NABUCCO" (Nabucco is the name of a musical about the Jews running out of the Egyptian Pharaohs slavery).

As a response to that, Russia first invaded Georgia, then annexed Crimea.

As a nation with 75% of her GDP depended on oil and gas, she is pretty much doing what she has to survive.

Does this sound like a "free market" practice to you?

There are several people posting here who refuse to accept the reality that
RUSSIA is very actively engaging in an imperialistic adventure for AS MUCH
CONTROL OF SEA GOING TRADE AS SHE CAN GRAB BY BRUTAL MEANS
AND IN ALLIANCE with similar minded regimes like China and Iran-----
they are dense
 
Indiscriminate bombing of a large city and millions of new refugees fleeing the slaughter and Putin still has Americans like those in this thread cheering him on and supporting genocide.

Obama's Arab Spring to turn over the ME to the MB.

One mega hiccup. Your new ruler in SA is insane. A complete whack job who is just bombing the shit out of Yemen on a daily basis while Bam Bam's other buddy Erdogan is going after all the Kurds.

What a fucking mess!

You see nothing wrong with what exactly?
Shit, I did not highlight Russia selling natural gas and weaponry. It's a free market or should be.


But Russia is not after "free market" of gas and oil, its the opposite, she is trying to become the monopoly.

Europeans tried to get a direct route from the Central Asia, under the Caspian to Azerbaijan, and to Georgia, and to Crimea under the black sea and to Bulgaria from there, called it the "NABUCCO" (Nabucco is the name of a musical about the Jews running out of the Egyptian Pharaohs slavery).

As a response to that, Russia first invaded Georgia, then annexed Crimea.

As a nation with 75% of her GDP depended on oil and gas, she is pretty much doing what she has to survive.

Does this sound like a "free market" practice to you?

Where on earth are you getting this insanity? It makes no historical sense. It makes no current sense. I'm not trying to be insulting but holy toledo I don't even know where to begin with your post.

How deep you're propaganded by mass media...

If Russia invaded Georgia - why Georgia now not in war and still exist? :) Georgia invaded South Osetia and started to kill civilians and blue helms - Russia just pushed them back.

As fo Crimea... "Annexed" was Honolulu by US. Crimea was returned. Don't let the Newspeak to invade and annex your mind completely :)
