I was worried Putin would “rescue” the Syrians by “taking” the known chemical weapons and putting Russian Marines and soldiers ON the known Syrian locations and bases. And, of course, no one knows where the rebel/AQ chemical weapons are hidden, and where the Syrian Army chemical weapons are hidden now.
Once the Russians were in place, THEN any attack against the chemical bases WOULD BE an attack on the Russians and Putin would have “won” the round, and protected Syrian, AND shown who the other Arabs and Muslims could “trust” to protect them ....
He would also have protected HIS interests in preventing the gas and oil pipelines form going through Syria, and would have set Russian up as the newer trusted power in the region.
But it also shows Europe who is actually in charge of THEIR gas lines going into Germany, Poland, France, Spain, Netherlands, Greece, Italy ....
Funny, isn’t it - that the US media is now busy claiming this idea of Russian “protective custody” is Obama/Kerry/Hillary’s idea, isn’t it?
Thanks Ernest and Robert.
