Putin loves the Chechens that have sided with him, such as the puppet leader of Chechnya; he uses Chechen thugs to do dirty work in contexts where he wants plausible deniability. And we’re agreed — both are evil. Putin’s action in Syria is in part to boost his domestic popularity, but in Syria itself he wants to pry Assad loose from Iran’s grip.
The Iranians have managed to dismantle or destabilize Arab regimes — a policy it shares with Zero — and jihad is jihad is jihad, so Iran has no problem supporting existing groups, recruiting Sunni, Shia, whomever, and thanks to Zero and Lurch, already have more money with which to do it. Iran is nearly contiguous all the way across to the Med; ISIS is an rogue entity that gets whatever it needs by whatever means it feels necessary, and has been allowed to operate until it has conflicted with Hizbollah.
Zero’s now got Putin into Syria; Pooty may be smart enough or not otherwise sufficiently motivated, to keep an eye on an exit plan. The earlier rumor of 150,000 Russia troops has now been denied. The Chinese are supposedly in country, which isn’t really a friendly move, since China’s got ties with Turkey.
And all this without Zero’s having put US boots on the ground, without thousands of fictional MANPADS from Libya, without any significant effort to train and equip Syrian rebels — if anything, Zero looks pretty good here, apart from having apparently sided with Russia the whole way (despite posturing to the contrary) and weakening the US reputation abroad.
Putin is a psychopath lite. Witness all the pics of him on a tiger, etc, his excessive bullying of other countries over energy prices, his invasion and bombing of Georgia for preferring the west.....it all adds up nicely.
That said there are plenty of them working here in the US and some in very prominent positions of power.
If they do something you like, they do it well and it can be very satisfying.
The Sierra Club is just as dangerous imo and those next to them pushing agenda 21. Maybe more because they are right here using our own courts.
Evil is everywhere. Not just in Russia.
