Russia is not being blamed for the mess in Syria, they are being blamed for contributing to it because when the civil war broke out they continued to supply Assad with weapons and supplies. They did the same thing with Ukraine. In fact, the timing of announcing new assistance to Assad is a distraction from the seeming end to the crisis in Ukraine and Putin's abandonment of that adventure.People blaming the mess in Syria on Russia is beyond pathetic. Hell's bells no one can even name who the true terrorists errrrrrrrrrrrrrr jihadists errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rebels were.

C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition
By ERIC SCHMITTJUNE 21, 2012
WASHINGTON — A small number of C.I.A. officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey, helping allies decide which Syrian opposition fighters across the border will receive arms to fight the Syrian government, according to American officials and Arab intelligence officers.
The weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries including Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood and paid for by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the officials said.
The C.I.A. officers have been in southern Turkey for several weeks, in part to help keep weapons out of the hands of fighters allied with Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups, one senior American official said. The Obama administration has said it is not providing arms to the rebels, but it has also acknowledged that Syria’s neighbors would do so.

Funny, the folks who praise Bush for going after WMD's held by Saddam have no issue with WMD's in the hands of Assad.
There was never a civil war. The Arab Spring is total bullshit. And the ME was a dog's breakfast before but now it's FUBAR'D.
And the superpowers are freaking nuts to have tried to overthrow Assad under the guise of an Arab Spring.
How did Egypt turn out? I think it was Gallup who cited that the Egyptians hate America more than any other country. That's saying something.

You've got jihadist pool parties at the US Embassy in Tripoli for heavens sake. Yemen? Oh and a true civil war in the Ukraine. And that's just not going to go away because the freaking Nazis that Kiev backs don't like ceasefire.
