Turkish Military Setting Up ‘Observation Post’ North Of Khan Shaykhun (Video, Photo)

Well he certainly gave Erdogan enough time to show his real intentions didn’t he, 2 years is more than enough time for Erdogan to hang himself with that piece of rope, but 2 years is more time than all the other Russians have given Erdogan, they only gave him 12 months to hang himself, they were all tugging on that rope 12 months ago, and they’re pulling even harder now, because they’ve finally forced Putin to grab hold of that rope too. Yes the Russian military commanders are doing the right thing by the Syrians now, they’re finally ignoring Putin’s butt kissing and doing all the things they wanted to do 12 months ago when Putin wouldn’t let them. I think you missed that mini Russian coup against Putin, politics in Russia is changing faster than you realize, and it’s all attributable to Putin’s pandering to Erdogan. Putin’s been saying one thing and all his ministers and military commanders have been saying the exact opposite, that’s what I call a mini coup, especially when I see the Russian military doing the exact opposite of what Putin’s been wanting and Putin’s finally going along with it.

So what is President Putin’s approval rating at the moment? Does he lead Russia, owing to personal ego or does he rule Russia for the people?

I remember, back in 2014, when The Maidan kicked off. Now what happened next.

Crimea, in just 3 weeks, they voted to return home to Russia. Before the EU could even hold an emergency meeting.

President Yanukovich and his family, who were rescued from an assassination attempt, by the Russians.

The US and EU sanctions and how they laughed at Russia. Then out of nowhere, Russia strikes back, with regards there counter sanctions. Now who is laughing? How much did the EU lose from the agricultural market alone?

Next Ukraine, who kept forgetting to pay their gas bills, thinking Russia would never mind? Then what happened, after Ukraine was given plenty of chances? Russia, would only deliver if paid in advance.

Next Nord Stream II and wasn’t the contrat set up so that the US and EU could have absolutely no access to it?

Now Turkey has purchased the S-400 and it is being assembled in Turkey, with the operatives trained, together with the Turkstream coming on board. Russia, does not have to be patient, where Turkey is concerned. However, they also wanted Turkey to do what she does best and show her hand, when playing one team against the other. Which Turkey have done, just as planned. Plus, the time period, of making Turkey feel safe, has allowed Syria to train the new members of her military. Which is no doubt why the Idlib cauldron has been such a success.

I so remember The Saker, would get impatient, with regards Russia and doom and gloom, yet, by understanding the ‘The Art of War’, Russia can afford to be patient, unlike most others.

So you think by listing all of Putin’s positive past achievements it will somehow counterbalance the fact he’s recently made bad ones, not in my book it doesn’t, once you stop making good decisions and start making bad ones all the time, it’s time to start listening to others. From the time Putin saved Russia from Boris Yeltsin’s disastrous dance with the US and Israel, I’ve also admired him, and when he introduced those 2 laws into Russian legislation in 2006, that prohibit the LGBTQI organization promoting their poison to Russian children under the age of 15, he actually became my hero, but that doesn’t mean he’s allowed to make bad decisions and get away with it now. You forgot to mention his greatest achievement, the fact the US is using the global warming scare to counterbalance Putin and Xi Jin Pings manipulation of the worlds oil and gas markets. The Russians have lowered world wide production of oil and gas and driven up prices, and the Chinese have stolen a lot of the worlds oil and gas supply markets, ensuring their own resource needs into the future and averting any possible attempts of manipulation by the US. And what about Bric’s, a counterbalance to the US and Israels domination of the world financial system, that too is one of his greatest achievements but you haven’t bothered to list it. So even though he did save Russia from Boris’s stupidity, and even if he saved the Russians from becoming a pro LGBTQI nation like most western countries have become, his greatest achievement and even though he turned the Saudi’s around and has them shouting the new OPEC mantra, “lower production higher prices” and even though he’s helped XI destroy the value of the US petrodollar with bric’s and other institutions he’s still making bad decisions concerning Syria. When the uprising first started all his military advisors told him to go in and help Assad his ally, they wanted to go to Syria and help quell the uprising before it took hold, but Putin said no, he said it was an internal dispute that the Syrians should solve themselves, even though everyone at the time knew it wasn’t really an internal uprising, it was sponsored by the US and Israel. And when Putin finally decided to help Assad, all those same military advisors told Putin to put boots on the ground, but he didn’t, he said he would just offer material and air support to Assad, and then Isis took over half the country, and then the US and the Turks stole some more, I think he should have listened to his advisors both times, I blame him for all of Syria’s woes now, not the Russian generals or government ministers who repeatedly gave Putin advice he should have taken, just Putin himself. But as I said, now I think those same generals and ministers have given Putin some orders, and I think Putin’s now following them, and doing what he’s told for a change. And as far as I know Putin’s personal popularity is falling just slightly, and his party even more, but more importantly than that, for the last 12 months his rhetoric has been the exact opposite of what all his ministers and high ranking military commanders have been saying, why haven’t they been in sync for the last 12 months, it’s only over the last few days Putin’s started saying the same thing as everyone else, it’s not that everyone else has changed what they were saying, it’s Putin that’s changed his rhetoric, now he’s in sync with everyone else. And that’s the way it should be in a democracy, he may be the leader, but he’s only the leader because his followers allow him to lead, but he can’t be a leader if all his followers aren’t following him, and they haven’t been for the last 12 months, at least as far as Syria is concerned, and because of his pandering to Erdogan more especially. It’s ok to have heroes, especially ones who’ve done amazing things, but heroes aren’t infallible, and when they make mistakes we have to let them know, and I think Putin’s made a lot of mistakes in Syria.

What bad achievements?

Do the people of Russia seriously want to go back to the times of the Yeltsin era?

Why do you ask, “Do the people of Russia seriously want to go back to the times of the Yeltsin era?” What does this question have to do with Putin’s performance in Syria, it’s off topic altogether. Putin’s bad decisions concerning Syria. 1, Ignored military advice and didn’t help quell the rebellion in its very early days. 2, again ignored military advice and failed to put boots on the ground when he finally arrived, just air and material support was given. 3, Erdogan should have been punished for shooting down the Russian pilot, which doesn’t mean he had to go to war over it, but Putin should have done something to exact retribution. 4, Failed to realize that Erdogan was playing him for a fool after Erdogan continuously failed to comply to every single requirement of the Astana agreement. It’s not that he shouldn’t have tried to make the deal work at all, but he should have realized 3 months after he first co signed it that Erdogan wasn’t complying to any aspect of it and never would, that was pure stupidity. Now Erdogan supplies the rebel forces with the equipment they use to target [and attempt to kill] Russian servicemen stationed at Russian airbases. 5, Putin didn’t do enough to stop the Israelis attacking Syrian and Iranian interests in Syria, if diplomacy and threats didn’t work [they didn’t], then he should have used those S-400’s to stop them, and if they stayed in Israeli territory and fired their missiles into Syria, Putin should have targeted the bases that launched them, or blown those Israeli jets out of Israeli skys wherever they were, and let the broken pieces fall where ever they fell, in the countryside, on industrial sectors, businesses or homes, where ever. That would have stopped the Israelis dead in their tracks, and what could they say about it, they’re endangering Russian personnel stationed in Syria every time they launch an attack into Syria, bad luck if the Russians also endanger Israeli lives by trying to protect Russian lives, fairs fair I think. And look what happened, 15 dead and again no retribution, for the second time. 6, Trump’s cruise missile attacks against Syrian infrastructure, and the US’s constant air strikes against the SAA and Iraqi PMU units [possibly Russians too] that were fighting Isis in Deir ez Zor, they also should have elicited more of a retaliatory response from Putin, not just empty threats. 7, agreed to the UN, US, Israeli and Turkish demands to implement resolution 2254 and a new constitution for Syria, Putin was a pure traitor for that, but the Iranians also shoved Assad under the bus with that one too so he wasn’t alone, it was only the Arab league arguing Assad’s case, and they still are. Assad’s already said he won’t agree to Putin’s requests anyway, so hopefully Putin will give up on the idea too, F–K resolution 2254 nd the new constitution, and F–K Putin for ever agreeing to it, anything the UN wants is evil and should be avoided like the plague. … My last response to you had a positive list for Putin, this is the negative one, please feel free to point out where you think I’m wrong to question Putin’s terrible responses to events he should have handled much better, and why you think he was right to make the decisions he did. There’s one more important aspect to this grievance of mine, and I think it’s the most important of all, loyalty. When the Saudis first approached Assad with the proposal to use his country as a transit point for a direct stream into the EU for their oil and gas, Assad’s response was this, I can’t agree to that because I know it will harm my ally Russia’s revenue stream, I won’t do anything to harm my allies markets in the EU. That’s what I call loyalty, and it deserves the same in kind.

Putin should have stopped the Isis invasion as soon as it started, and if he had, the US and the Turks would have had no excuse at all to invade and take over parts of Syria, so I blame Putin for that too. But as I’ve said one million times before, it’s not the Russian government or it’s military leaders responsible for these bad decisions, they’ve said all the right things, asked to make the appropriate responses, offered all the right advice, the only problem is, they were totally ignored by someone who should have known better.

So you believe.

C’mon, argue with me, tell me why I’m wrong, YOU CAN’T, or do you secretly agree with me but don’t want to say it, surely you can’t agree with every decision Putin’s made concerning Syria, but then again maybe you can.

Sorry, cannot be bothered to play in the kindergarten today.

Fully supportive of President Putin and his team and how they are handling Syria. Many of us remember what things were like, prior to President Putin’s speech, over in the UN, just days prior to Russia turning up in Syria.

You’re just a paid for troll promoting your bosses agenda, that’s why you’re fully supportive, one of the many paid for trolls operating on SF, and and you’re all as dumb as chimpanzees and don’t deserve your paychecks.

LOL, when a paid troll tells you that you are a paid troll, owing to not going with their soundbite of the week. Think what you want as at the end of the day, you are just a stranger, who also happens to be an armchair gossip and not a very good one at that.

Speculation and opinion aren’t gossip, they’re just plain speculation and opinion, something trolls try to criticize and suppress all the time, but when asked to debate the difference of opinion, the answers always the same every time, I can’t be bothered, which simply means I can’t. Don’t criticize anything anyone has to say if you haven’t got anything substantial to say other than “you’re wrong and I’m right”, that’s what kindergarten kids say when they argue, so you’d better stop playing in the kindergarten and grow up if you want to criticizing other posters opinions.

Darling, you can always tell a paid troll by the soundbites they use, plus, how they run with the 5 D media disinformation script. Together with a personal insult thrown in.

Kept the image, thanks, and no doubt will share it often. I had not seen it before, but, reading it with interest. So few, keep cropping up here, there and everywhere, where destrucction of the planet is concerned.
