That still does not prove Putin poisoned president crater face. Who gained from the poisoning which was designed to just mess up your skin complexion? Why a female obsessed with her looks and who is a mafioso in her own right. It is something a female witch who owns a chemical empire like Yulia Tymoshenko would come up with.

Yulia Tymoshenko daughter warns of jail poisoning

THE daughter of the former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko fears her mother will be poisoned in prison as she awaits trial accused of killing a businessman.

That is sort of a smoking gun for me. She is herself an accused murderer and is in fear of being poisoned - why? It's called projection - when someone thinks others will do what you yourself have done or would do.

There, I solved the poisoning crime for you.

“Russia gave the United States advanced notice before launching a “significant number” of strikes in Syria on Tuesday targeting the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa but a U.S. official said the former Cold War foes were still not coordinating militarily.”

If I was Putin, I’d be giving the Fraud fake strike plan data.

There is a reasonable case to be made that Obama and Putin are working together and runing. an elaborate scam on the rest of the world.

Obama has done much to further Putins agenda.

The Obama Admin sees Iran as its major ally and partner in the Middle East (direct quote from one of hid national security advisers) and Obama shares much of Irans policy goals.

Russia is also closely aligned with Iran and ISIS has boosted Putin and Russia to the top of the world stage so a plausible argument can be made that Obama is secretly working for Putin

If this is the case, then Obama has severely betrayed and back stabbed Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arab oil states by that have backed ISIS.

This may also be the case. The oil states were using ISIS as a mercenary proxy army to oust Assad and control Syria to gain pipeline access to Europe to bust Putins European oil and gas monopoly.

Part of Putins moves on Ukraine were to protect the pipeline from terrorist attacks.

With Putins intervention in Syria, the Saudis and the rest of the Arabs find themselves outmaneuvered , isolated and in big trouble with a pissed off Bear knocking on their front door.

Indications they may have thrown in the towel and come to terms with Putin.

If so, ISIS will have become a liability and a dangerous threat to them and so ISIS will have outlived its usefulness and must be liquidated

That's one scenario that fits pretty well and is very plausible but things are so screwed up in the region an equally plausible scenario is that everyone’s games have backfired on them so everyone has lost control and the whole region is melting down

[Psalm 144]

“There is a reasonable case to be made that Obama and Putin are working together and runing. an elaborate scam on the rest of the world.”

No. There is a tortured, paranoid, convoluted neocon hypothesis to that effect, but a reasonable case requires something like evidence, logical coherence and a credible object.

If Putin did give advance warning to the U.S. in several instances it probably was a set up. More than likely there are some “Birds” ie; surveillance Sats parked above Raqqa monitoring visual and electronic traffic noting activity from when the warning was given to when the Sat phone and ISIS troop traffic picks up.

When Vlad really wants to take care of Raqqa there won't be a warning just a blinding white flash and no more Raqqa.

Jesus man. Your are gumming up the bandwidth with your useless pro-Obama posts.

Appears my original reply to you was removed. Anyway, what I basically said was that if you seriously believe my posts were pro-Obama and/or useless than you are even more of a blankity blank than Putinator.

I tend to agree that the likelihood is small but there is enough circumstantial evidence out there that one should be skeptical and factor in the possibility

Some people are cheerleading Putin as if he were a savior sent from heaven to lead a modern crusade against Islam.

Not sure that's the case so skepticism is a good policy.

Putin seems to be achieving many of the policy goals of the old USSR with stunning speed, all of the cheap and from an amazingly weak position which is suspicious

[Psalm 144]

“Putin seems to be achieving many of the policy goals of the old USSR with stunning speed, all of the cheap and from an amazingly weak position which is suspicious”

I think the pace of recovery can be attributed to Russia willingness to burn through oil sales in order to strike while the iron is hot, and also in the quality of intellect amongst Putin’s rivals which is rather low and blindly dogmatic, with Obama being the poster boy of course.

I agree with you that Obama is not Richard the Lionheart, but contrary to his detractors neither is he Stalin. Putin’s obligation is to make the Russian Federation as strong as he can, in every respect. In stark contrast to US and Western European leaders, he is meeting the obligation of serving his nation; but then, he still believes in the nation state.

I doubt very much there is deliberate collaboration between Putin and Obama. They are antitheses as men, and their mutual loathing for one another is only topped by that between Obama and Netanyahu, at least it appears so to me.

I also agree with you that the situation may have escaped the control of ALL parties.

As long as Putin is killing Radical Muslims, 99% on FR have no problem with it. If you don’t agree you could at least spare us by not providing a book with a thousand links that no one cares to click.

The Russians are masters at the complex game of chess, thinking many moves ahead. Most of us, unfortunately, have a difficult time playing checkers. They are masters of the art of deception. Putin is attempting to basically restore what was the Soviet Union, and then some. They are not our friends. They have armed and supported nearly every one of our enemies. They and the ChiComs view us as a major obstacle to their long range plans.
