I am surprised Putin did not immediately send a cruise missile to the base where the Turkish planes took off.
This shows he is NOT the bloodthirsty maniac the press wants to portray him as.
Well, I want to know why the United States isn’t bombing Turkey.
Guy does not bomb airbase --> not bloodthirsty maniac.
Yeah, I see it.
You are right, but it isn’t just the MSM. There are more than a few on FR who are stuck mentally in the Cold War and who cannot bring themselves to understand this is Russia, not the Soviet Union, and Putin, not Breshnev, that we are dealing with. The world has changed. It isn’t the 60s or the 70s any more. Putin is not a saint, but he a better actor on the world stage than Obama. I never thought we see something like that come to pass.
“I am surprised Putin did not immediately send a cruise missile to the base where the Turkish planes took off...This shows he is NOT the bloodthirsty maniac the press wants to portray him as.”
I agree, if ANYONE is trying to defuse this stuff it’s Putin. Turkey seems to WANT World War 3 to start, and Putin prefers that not to happen.
I heard Senator Tom Cotton on talk radio trying to explain our policy (i.e., supporting the ‘moderate’ opposition). He was stumbling around and CLEARLY READING TALKING POINTS. The Republicans in the Senate also have NO CLUE as to what’s going on their, but they continue to support it.
