Putin: Great Visionary or Just Lost

[Michael Barwell]

...Assad is not happy...

The Russkis've been showing-off their wares to Sky; not sure if these vids show the singing pro-Assad Syrian journos, but they seem chuffed with Putins commitment to the Assad regime, & I presume Assad hisselfs just fine with it (hardly anything works now for me on the libraries computers - no vids, not much opportunity to check much; a blank page is YT these days, so I get dickheads ligging around with a YT page up, on Spiderman... -just so I know..) - http://news.sky.com/story/1609650/russia...t-in-syria .

RE: plebiscite in Ukraine; not sure that they had one in Kosovo, Serbia being Russia's pal an' all. It can't be just me who thinks the 'UN' taking a chunk of a sovereign states territory and handing it elsewhere is a bit odd.

I think the 'west' - loosely, is now a psychopathic militarists playground of insane hero-complexers, what with the broad range of influencing techniques an' all - some people are extremely susceptible to the mind machine, aggressively so - they think that what's in their mind is their own mind at work; doubtless, this very transient & real-time influencing includes 'foreign' politicians every bit as much as media-types; 'brainwashing'-torture-murder is now firmly within the traditional civic sphere of influence. Cameron seems to be all-over the place atm, in the sense of a Tourettesey jerkiness of aims & ambitions recently; I wonder whether he's on the end of it too, on occaision, and poor bloody Obama - high hopes dashed there - and then some.
