Everything Putin said is a lie. He says we should listen to the UN but Putin unilaterally invaded Georgia unprovoked without UN permission.

Everybody here knows the UN is just a mutual tyrant society, but his statements on who used the poison gas I believe. Assad was winning, he had no reason to risk involvement by the rest of the World. Al-Qaeda really is fighting on the rebels side. Assad is an Alawite , a minority Muslim sect and in the Islamic world that marks you for death. His side, and the Christians , are fighting for survival.

Assad is not winning. In fact he cannot possibly win, even if he gassed millions of his own people.

Alawites are Shiite muslims of the apocalyptic “Twelver” sect waiting for the Twelfth Imam, the Imam Mahdi who they think will convert Jesus and his followers to islam.
