[quote:tmorais:MV8yMTkzOTU0XzM3MTMwNTg3X0U1MjgyQTY4] [quote:The Tauremini:MV8yMTkzOTU0XzM3MTMwNTEzXzMzODc1NTM4] [quote:tmorais:MV8yMTkzOTU0XzM3MTMwNDU2XzI2NDMwRTg0] [quote:The Tauremini:MV8yMTkzOTU0XzM3MTMwMzM2Xzc1NTZCRjg3] It's no secret whose side Putin is on in the Syrian civil war. In the interview he explicitly said that Russia deserves the right to continue supplying Assad with weapons because there is no legal parameters [b]not [/b]to. Russia also enjoys military access to the Mediterranean thanks to the naval base at the Syrian port of Tartus. He is telling the West to stop supplying the rebels because they're a terrorist entity determined to destabilize a "legitimate government". [/quote] The problem is that only a minority of those who are fighting this "legitmate government" are Syrian. Most part of the so called "freedom fighters" are ruthless mercenaries. [/quote] Very true. Some of them are from the Libyan Islamic insurgency that toppled the government there. I'd say some of the nasty ones from Iraq, Pakistani Taliban and also Afghanistan are undoubtedly there too. Signature car bombings, beheadings, kidnappings, etc. Certainly very criminal. The question is, who is worse? Assad or the Al-Qaeda insurgents? [/quote] Assad is not a example of dignity, but I don't think he is much worse than those western baked sheikhs from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc... The man will not let his country in the hands of these "rebels". Assad will not fall without a good fight. [/quote]

Putin seems pretty serious on this one.
