Who cares what the Russian foreign minister calls it. I call it "doing GOD's work".
I would love to see that fat pig hanging from a rope.
Cutting off the snakes head,Sergey.😎
Actually, Sergei, it’s called “restraint”: only killing those folks that really, really need killing, without turning Combined Arms Armies loose on smaller countries and killing as many innocent bystanders as possible.

They have a funny way of avoiding saying the word “embassy”.
Of course, he does...
There has been an essentially bizarre groping around for phrasing of what was done in Damascus.
This was an attack on the Iranian embassy there. There has been a leap by the media to label this a “consulate” and a “diplomatic mission”, but neither matters (or is actually true).
More or less ALL embassies everywhere have a consul annex. Consulates have various tasks like passport and visa issuance, diplomatic meetings, aid for citizens in that foreign country, a general task of serving citizens of the embassy’s country in that foreign country where it resides.
Consul activities are part of embassies and the building where they take place is a consulate or consul annex. You can have consulates in cities of a country where there is no embassy, but in a city where the embassy exists, the consulate is part of the embassy.
And as everyone should know, an embassy is granted sovereignty and is the territory of the country represented.
So this strange groping by the media to call the Damascus facility something other than an embassy (it was physically on the Embassy’s land) is absurd. You attack a consulate, you have attacked an embassy and violated territory and violated all diplomatic immunity.
There is no evading this. It is also not a matter of whataboutism. It simply is.
They should talk.
That’s the pot calling the kettle black.
Very few acknowledge that.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
Why no show of support for Israel on your Putin bot list?
Just asking questions...
Israel will attack Iran-payback. Russia is not stupid enough to get involved. They will do nothing but be embarrassed about it’s ‘ally’.
Kinda reminds me of voting for Mittens in ‘12. I just had to ask “We’re gonna follow this guy into battle?”
agree
