There can be no "moderate" terrorists, President Putin said, speaking about the situation in the Middle East at the Valdai discussion forum.
Trends Russian anti-terror op in Syria "Why play with words dividing terrorists into moderate and not moderate. What's the difference?" Putin told the forum.
A whole "snarl" of terrorist groups act in the region, who fight also against each other for "sources of income" and not for ideology, Putin said, adding that the weapons provided to "moderate" opposition in the region had ended up in the hands of terrorists.
Some countries are playing a double game, the Russian president said, adding that while they fight against terrorism they also "place figures on the board" in their own interests.
“Success in fighting terrorists cannot be reached if using some of them as a battering ram to overthrow disliked regimes," Putin told the forum, saying that this way the terrorists would not go anywhere. "It's just an illusion that they can be dealt with [later], removed from power and somehow negotiated with," he added.

“place figures on the board”. A direct slap of Obama who said this isn't a chess match. Of course, Obama said whoever thinks it's a chess match isn't looking at the chess match.

Yep I agree Vlad - so then why do you give so much support to Iran? If it wasn’t for that I would be perfectly happy to see you in the ME.
Other than that whole “end of days” Gog thing....

Yeah, I know, a lot of cognitive dissonance left over from the Cold War. But the truth is that Russia today is the leader of the International Right and the US/EU lead the International Left. We’ve switched positions in other words.

I could not agree more. It’s like trying to distinguish the difference between a RINO and a Democrat. They both work together to further the same goals.
