In reply to the discussion: How Putin "Outsmarted" Obama: By Completely Surrendering to All of His Demands [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)29. I'm permited to disagree with Obama supporters. It's about saving lives. FYI:
This is a media spin story, and how they call Obama weak when he wasn't, just as the called him a warmonger when he wasn't.
Putin wasn't weak or wrong, either, as he was representing what the felt was Russia's interests. This goes beyond nations and oneupmanship.
Putin found a way to do the right thing. That's all that matters to me. I don't care about the credit or acclaim, it is so fleeting and people are fickle. The media is shallow and owned by the 1% to promote their interests.
As far as the babbling noises from media are concerned, War is good for their owners' business, and their ratings, Peace is bor-ring.
Not for me. Fuck 'em.

Beware: The OP doesn't want debate, just provoking to get advertising hits from traffic to his blog.

this presumes that Russia has some interest in Syria maintaining stockpiles of chemical weapons
