| 'Utter Nonsense' |

| ...Putin said he thinks the chemical attack was a "provocation" by Assad's opponents who wished to draw the United States and other powers into the conflict. "Common sense speaks for itself: the Syrian government forces are on the offensive, and they have encircled insurgents in some regions, and it would be utter stupidity to give up a trump card to those who have been regularly calling for military intervention. It defies any logic, especially on the day when UN monitors came there," he told reporters. Putin said he believes Western intervention is only aimed at helping the rebels, which he suggested have recently lost ground to government forces. ...He also praised the British vote not to join in any strike, saying it shows there are people with "common sense there." Translation: get your head out of Saudi ass. |
