#4 Fucking Russians! Always masturbating to the idea of getting to use their big strategic nuclear weapons. What the fuck is wrong with them?

#6 Well it appears to me that Russia has leadership. Open to dialogue. The economy of Russia now is in much better shape than most. Open borders and increased cooperation with surrounding countries is a known goal of Russia. Natural resources are the future needs of all modern countries. I see Russian alignment with the west more than with the east. Yes, Russia is coming back as a world power. Some in power want the old days back. The people want better standards of living and look for a future. I can't say a future of hope because they expect things always will go badly for them. Those in political power know this. So in my opinion Russia needs stability and economic growth. With Russia I see give and take.
The EU is an example of controlled failure. No outside power did this. This is not just about Syria. Seize the day. With our current administration however not likely. Cold war days on the horizon.

#9 A report Thursday said that Russia has supplied Syria with advanced S-300 missiles, and has sent advisers to help Syria run the system.

Hopefully, this will dissuade the Turks from trying to engineer an Libyan-style Assad defeat via a no-fly zone. And if Erdogan isn't dissuaded, it would be nice to see the Turkish military machine defanged a little, given the rhetoric coming from Turkey's Islamist government.

#11 Vlad was jeered at an MMA match a few days ago. He isn't as powerful as before. But who wants another islamonazi regime in the Near East? And who remembers that Turk aggressors who hold a large section of Europe, caused the US to leave 20% of weaponry on ships in the Mediterrean, at the start of Gulf War2? That move led to the creation of a Sunni rearbase in the north, which operated much of the later terror against US troops.

#12 Russia is many things. We have seen Putin presented many ways. This video is a Russian perspective. No slam dunk for Putin:

#13 And who remembers that Turk aggressors who hold a large section of Europe

I don't understand, Bubba Lumumba8396. Do you think we should rewrite the last millennium? As for what follows I your comment, we here at Rantburg are very aware of Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan's choices in 2003, and what followed from that. We watched the news unfold in real time -- it's all in the archives.
