Putin looks like a cross between Andrew McCulkin (home alone) and Dobby (house elf from harry potter).
Putin says he will strike Saudi Arabia if the US hits Syria. After all, not using chemical weapons should make you a target.
The only thing to do is to call his bluff, and hit Syria with nukes. I am sure this will end well.
Assad vs. Al Queda, Hmmm. Like Hitler vs. Stalin. Can we be sure that they both lose? Hitler solved our moral problem by declaring war on the US after Pear Harbor. Perhaps Assad is more clever than Hitler.
It would be rather nice to see the saudi wahabbists get blasted for a change.
