It was western culture that suppressed slavery. But that was arrogant westerners imposing their morality on other cultures. Perhaps we need to recognize that all cultures are equal so slavery might be just right for some cultures. Thus it should not be suppressed any longer. And, since the 13th amendment clearly discriminates on basis of culture, perhaps we should repeal that amendment. You know, to be inclusive and multi-cultural.
If Putin wants to be the hero of the Western World right now, he should lay siege to Palmyra and chase ISIS right out of there, killing them all on their way out. It would make Obama look like the pathetic, weak human being he actually is, especially in comparison to Putin.
