Let's Join One Another to Crush the Unholy, Unruly, Jihadi Muslims
Yes, its very Onion-ish, and satirical, but under the humourous surface is something to be considered.
By "VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH PUTIN"

[Breitbart] You Americans want to remove my ally, the Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad. To borrow a phrase from your John F. Kennedy, Assad may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he's my son-of-a-bitch.

So if you want to destroy him, what are you going to give me in return? If your answer is, "We will give you nothing," well, why would I ever agree to that? That's not negotiation, that's dictation; it's a return to the bad Yeltsin days, when Holy Mother Russia was pushed into the mud like a used whore.

Look, I'll be the first to say that Obama's "red line" comment was dumb. It's obvious he hadn't thought it through; one can see it in the words he used to express his policy. He said that the "red line" would be crossed if "a whole bunch" of chemical weapons were used. What kind of language is that? How does one quantify a "whole bunch"? This is the President of the High-and-Mighty United States, and he's talking like a schoolboy?

The Romans, who knew something about both imperialism and trickery, always asked, cui bono--who benefits? Well, the beneficiaries in this episode are the rebels--also known as Al Qaeda. Way to go, Americans!

So let's check some other news items: Here's a June 6 item from a Turkish newspaper reporting on "the case of Syrian rebels who were seized on the Turkish-Syrian border with two kilograms of sarin." And it's not just the Turks: Carla Del Ponte, the Swiss-born former UN Prosecutor for War Crime Tribunals, has echoed those same charges against the rebels. They're the bad guys!

Yet could this evidence against the rebels all be Russian disinformation? Hey, we're good, but not that good.

Meanwhile, go ahead: Look for this information in your mainstream American media--your so-called "free press." You can barely find it. Yankee lapdog reporters will cover everything that Obama says, and everything that John McCain says, but they won't send reporters to warzones to go and actually figure out what happened.

Yes, American reporters are sheep. They try to figure out what Obama wants them to write, and then they write it. Or if Obama doesn't have a clear line on some topic--which is often--they look over the shoulder of the reporter next to them and copy that. Like I said, sheep.

The result is a herd mentality, showing no understanding of what true necessity truly looks like.

Pakistan is the real problem--they make Afghanistan possible. So those are the real evil empires: Iran and Pakistan. Bringing them to heel won't be easy, of course, but we Russians have never shied away from strong measures. The Americans could learn a lot from us.

So that's my vision. Let's stop worrying about silly little niceties about the right and the wrong way to fight a war. Let's stop trying to bring democracy to barbarians. Instead, let's bring them the only thing they understand--force.

Let's join one another to crush the unholy, unruly, jihadi Muslims. The good Muslims will thank us for it. And if they don't--too bad.
