"One can wipe off a political map some tyrannical regime ... but it's absolutely pointless to fight with a people," he said. "Russia, thank God, isn't Iraq. It has enough strength and power to defend itself and its interests, both on its territory and in other parts of the world."
Yes Putin, one CAN get rid of a tyrannical regime....You won't do it because you're in bed with them or you want them to try to take out America, which we all know simply won't happen. But I don't see Russia helping out in any way, shape or form when it comes to Iraq. I think Russia is simply trying to gather up allies to confront the US.
He's even calling for us to set a time table.
Hmm...I wonder why that is?? It's not Russia's business for how long we're there. They seem to want something....else... It wouldn't be the friendly overtones towards Iran and it's building of a nuclear reactor in Iran would it? It wouldn't be the power struggle that Russia is fighting against the Chinese and the US would it?
The point is that Putin is simply trying to poke at a bear with a stick, and perhaps we should poke back. Let's start with the political power grab or the mysterious deaths of dissidents in Russia?
We could always start there Putin. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.
