Putin is already doing what he wants with the place. He bought the biggest horse, put it in his colours, and gave it the best tack and bridle you can buy. And as a result, it crossed the line in front.

He can always back another horse if the race is re-run. Why negotiate that position with the Americans?
Report guinness2dear • April 6, 2017 12:13 AM BST
Simples; he won't have to worry what to do with Basher. The world won't condemn him and the Ruskies cos it was Sir Donald who got rid. And Sir Donald wins because he will have shown himself a 'strong' POTUS..

They may even be discussing this now. Trump will do something, he has to...

Putin couldn't give a 4x what the world thinks of him and won't easily back down from his vantage point.

Don't forget that the existing sanctions levied on him and (mostly) his people as a result of his marauding, didn't stop him in his tracks.

The fact that Asad chemically attacked his people in 2013 with no further action from the watching world, won't go unnoticed either.

That's not to say that the rhetoric emanating from Trump, won't create a slightly more uncomfortable situation for Putin than the largely pacifistic Obama ever did.
Report guinness2dear • April 6, 2017 12:43 AM BST
The diff now is that Trump has indicated tonight that he is going to do 'something' He's built his advance to President on keeping his promises, whether he gets blocked from doing it or not. I will be utterly utterly amazed if plans are not being drawn up now with Pootin to get rid of Basher... And what i suggested helps both powers to keep face vantage point or not..

Of course he will. The mans a genius whether ye love or hate him. But Sir Donald likes flowers as well... A compromise will be reached..

You have to feel for the leaders in the middle east. They kill their own people they are in trouble. They kill in other countries they are in trouble. Americans kill both at home and abroad but they never get in trouble. We help Americans in their killing abroad we are never in truoble. In fact if someone accuses us of causing trouble, its them who are in trouble. Bottomline, there has to be war in the middle east. Its the most lucrative business in the world.

Thought it was a good post, apart from feeling sorry for the leaders in the middle east. At the moment their is little proof who committed the crimes in syria but the west has already sentenced someone for the crime.
Report detraveller • April 6, 2017 11:23 AM BST
I was just thinking how we killed 200 the other day(at least German forces were involved because it was on the media here) but Assad kills 70 odd and its apparently a crime. Thats what i mean. He's killing his own people. And that's wrong. But we kill their's because we don't want them to be killed by Assad.

I wouldn't trust the 'west' to p1ss straight let alone act in the interest of others.
There are no good guys, just differing versions of opportunists with different visions of control.

Freedom is an illusion, a trick of the mind.
All the politicians in the west subscribe to differing degrees to machiavellianism.

The difference is, at the risk of repeating myself, is the use of gas and other despicable chemicals. Plus showing those images of children. It gives the big bad west a reason to act. My opinion is they will. With or without the UN. We shall see..

The U.S.,Europe, the Turks, Saudis and Qataris only got involved in regime change when Assad blocked the Qatari gas pipeline. They're not going to go through all this to have a new regime which is allied to the Russians or Iran and won't allow their pipeline through.

they're saying they might go in now to Gub Assad as he's used da gas. they have their valid excuse. It's like a cowboy film were they only seek revenge after a heinous act by the villain. So that they are justified.

Trump's people will as we speak be telling Pootin that they will drop Ukraine sanctions if he cooperates in removing Assad.  This is such a perfect scenario for both of them, that it makes it almost certain that the gas attack was indeed a false flag.

Russia should force Assad out - give him sanctuary in Moscow to speed his departure - and replace him with somebody more acceptable to the west. Calm things down a bit and Putin and Trump both save face.
