بوتين يشترط تراجع واشنطن عن ضرب سوريا والكونغرس يريد الضربة بحال فشل الخطة الروسية

I don't know how this can be seen as anything but a defeat to Assad. His ONLY leverage against any operation by Israel were those chemical weapons. His borders are now wide open ( if he stays ) to any future operation by Israel in retaliation for his support to the "resistance axis". All he has now is his regular armed forces (a joke, at best) which will not last "six days" against any threat, especially Israel. Spin doctors can spin all they want but assad's prestige and in your face attitude has been hugely diminished.

Spin away haile. The US got what they wanted (if this goes through) without wasting a single penny on a tomahawk. That's the truth. Assad chickened out and bowed under pressure. No matter how you spin it.

You have to appreciate the little KGB agent. He will try to out fox the world. He has had some success, lets see if his luck holds up.

I think US/RU aren't foes as most imagine; they're helping each other out. Even this snowden issue,, there's little the Russians didn't already know because that's what superpowers do. stop imagining Star Wars conflicts.... because the only losers are the middle eastern people who fail to progress in the modern era with a few exceptions such as the UAE.
very sad.

Stop your Rambling M11er
The US WILL NEVER ATTACK !
Long live RUSSIA !
As for Israel well ? Continue with your PR Peace Talks ! What BS !
Who's next ?
KSA / GCC states ?
Keep paying your Insurance Premiums , they have gone up by 30% to the Zionists !
It's called protection money , you all need it !
Your Puppets ( FSA/ alNusra / al qaeda ) will be left out in the cold ......
Signed Wolf !!!!!

haile.. there is no need to call anyone ignorant or stubborn.. if you have been here a while you would know that i have attacked m14 as well as m8 and i do not follow any ideology but my own... and speak it the way it is.. this was a loss for Assad handed to him by his own ally..
i have argued about economical issues in the past, and i am not discussing or saying that the USA is doing the right or wrong thing but the fact of this current issue.
you talk about putin making america maneuver and waste energy.. with what? with some talk?? what energy have america wasted so far? NONE.
and next time please click reply and answer as i did not see your post till today.

putin is an old school communist--he puts people in jail in Russia for speaking out against him, and has by intimidation and other means tries to control what used to be the USSR.

the only thing he cares about is ASSad and keeping a port in the Med.
