Harleyman   12 #73 Posted October 4, 2015 Putins hugely popular in Russia. Theyre loving how hes standing upto the west and puffing his chest out,flexing his powerfull arms.Everytime he does the west feels decidedly uncomfortable.The sanctions arent working,Russias cheap steal has just cost loads of jobs here. I like the bloke and a lot of what he says,hes noboddys pet and hes not afraid to say the way he sees things.  What did they "steal" that was so cheap ?

999tigger   10 #77 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) This is the view of a Syrian woman on why the west hates Assad= http://www.rt.com/op-edge/syria-world-hate-message-604/  Is that what you believe mafya? Do you support Assad and condone his actions? Which of the reasons in that article do you beleieve are true and support?  Only a few of those reasons occurred to me and the reasons the West dont like him are not there.  ---------- Post added 04-10-2015 at 16:58 ----------  there are quite a few things he says that i like, one of them is this "There is no other solution to the Syrian crisis than strengthening the effective government structures and rendering them help in fighting terrorism."  So basically you support Assad and can only evisage one possible solution which is that he should be in power. He would say hes the only answer wouldnt he. Explain your thinking further slordy. Edited October 4, 2015 by 999tigger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Harleyman   12 #79 Posted October 4, 2015 I would trust the russians more than the USA and UK governments. ---------- Post added 04-10-2015 at 13:43 ----------   Assad gets a bad press but there seems to be plenty willing to fight for him...  For real peace of mind then you should go and live in Russia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nice one slordy. the fact a dictator has been in power a long time isnt a jsutification he should stay in power. He came to power by virtue of a coup carried out by his father.  The West arent trying to please anyone. Much as you love Putin I think you will find he has done very little except bomb some moderates, but nice one.
