If you really opposed war in Syria — I’ll believe you for the sake of argument — it wouldn’t make sense for you to diss Putin, because he’s the guy who stopped from happening. I can only surmise that you didn’t oppose it THAT much. Sorrry for my suspicions, but I have a hunch you oppose Putin precisely because he’s helping to deter the US from getting involved in more Middle East wars. Maybe I’m wrong about your real position, but a person can make inferences, it’s a free country after all.
You got me Sherlock.
