U.S. support for Syria rebels illegal, Putin says ahead of Obama meeting
MSN ^ | 9-27-2015 | Jack Stubbs and Denis Dyomkin

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday branded U.S. support for rebel forces in Syria as illegal and ineffective, saying U.S.-trained rebels were leaving to join Islamic State with weapons supplied by Washington.

In an interview with U.S. networks recorded ahead of a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama, Putin said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad deserved international support as he was fighting terrorist organizations.

Obama and Putin are scheduled to talk on Monday after Putin addresses the United Nations, although White House and Kremlin officials have disagreed on what the two leaders will discuss and even who initiated the meeting.

"In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter," he said in an excerpt of an interview with U.S. television networks CBS and PBS released by the Kremlin.

SNIP---

Putin says Damascus should be included in international efforts to fight (IS), a demand the United States rejects, and he criticized U.S. plans to train up to 5,400 Syrian rebels to fight Islamic State.

"It turns out that only 60 of these fighters have been properly trained, and as few as four or five people actually carry weapons," he said. "The rest of them have deserted with the American weapons to join ISIS," he said referring to Islamic State.

Not me...
My theory today is the exact same as it was the night the shootdown happened.

Has Ukraine released those ATC tapes yet?
Why are the CVR tapes a NATIONAL SECRET?

Despite the Orwellian propaganda, there is NO proof of direct Russian involvement in the Ukrainian Civil War.

Lots of SUPPORT, but no direct involvement proven. In Syria, not only are we DIRECTLY involved, but we talk about it openly.

LINKY??
Link to Sat pics?

Links to references OTHER than Social Media?


Want more? You are a proven liar. I expect an apology from you for a carrying water for mass murdering KGB filth on a conservative American website.

I recall that the Putin bootlickers quite eagerly advanced this nonsense until it was roundly debunked.


Yep. The Putin bootlickers are bullies like their mass murdering hero. They always run away when confronted with facts that prove their malfeasance. Then later they restate the same lies pretending they have never been busted. They live in freedom while abetting the mass murder of thousands from Europe to the Middle East. Sad. Really, really sad.

A snarky gif? Is that all you got? Pathetic. You lied in this thread about Russian invasion of Ukraine & asked for a link proving it. I gave you three up thread and rather than admit you lied you ran away. Again.

Your flip response to the very serious issue of Russian invasion & mass murder proves this really is just game to you.

When you started your parlor game here parroting Kremlin talking points on Crimea nobody had died in E. Ukraine. Now 8,000 are dead partly because of those like you who give cover, aid and comfort to KGB filth. Now the KGB filth is shacking up with homicidal Iran and you still keep pumping for them. Even more pathetic.

You are no conservative and I’m beginning to doubt you are even American.

There is proof. There are dead Russian soldiers, over 2,000, whose families have been paid survivor’s benefits by the Russian government. Do you ever get tired of being a Putinista Quisling?

Up shot.

Putin is on the right track in Syria and as far back as when supporting Milosovich, remember him?

Reagan blundered in supporting Afghanistan against the USSR. That was what helped start this mess the world is in.

So you favored the Soviet Union? I know we have a lot of strange types of “conservatives” now on FReeRepublic. But this is the first time someone has been so candid. I’ve gotten used to the pro-Putin, muddle-headed, squishy defenders of the West. Now, we have a clique of historic revisionists that want to champion the USSR! Strange and yet revealing.

You didn't address any point I made. So I guess you agree.

Reagan’s support for the Afghans helped destroy the Soviet Union. If you’re so confused on that subject, if you truly wish the Soviet Union survived, I don’t think you deserve to have your pro-communist points addressed.

Doubting that Tcrlaf is conservative or even American? Join the club brother. I've been its chief member ever since this freakin clown explained to me how the "separatists" were getting tanks. It's amazing to me how some of Tcrlaf's confederates have been zotted, but Tcrlaf himself, this freak, still keeps on kicking! A mod somewhere needs to squash this roach ASAP!

The links you provided do not support the assertion that the US Army Europe released intel showing the regular Russian Army had invaded Ukraine and engaged in combat.

Considering the billions of dollars the US taxpayers spend on state of the art intelligence systems and the number of times rabid neocon propagandists have insisted it was true, you'd think it wouldn't be so difficult to find either.

Would you like to try again or just keep foaming at the mouth?

I’m sorry, You are having a day dream and being willfully blind.

The links provided include US Army intel. Both USAREUR and Dept. of State released that info back in Feb. USAREUR Commander Lt. Gen. Hodges was unequivocal that it was the regular Russian Army was fighting at Debaltseve, Ukraine.

Is the good general one of these neocons you refer to? Are you disparading the honor of the U. S. Army while carrying water for mass murdering KGB filth? On a conservative website?

My personal favorite is how you went from “there are no Russian soldiers in Ukraine,” to “you can’t prove those are Russian soldiers,” to “c’mon, everyone knew those were Russian soldiers,” in the space of a few weeks. That, and the official Soviet line that the soldiers and their APCs were “on leave.” I still chuckle about it.

Here it is directly from Lt. Gen. Hodges’ lips: “direct Russian military intervention”
