A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria

[Lauren Johnson]

Now we learn that Putin was fighting for a stalemate (?) in Syria and he never was playing a zero sum game.

There's a lot more in this Sputnik article worth reading. I personally suspected that the Syria gambit was scripted out between Lavrov and Kerry during last summer's diplomatic exchanges. Gotta hand it to Putin. He gave a great speech at the UN in September with a great line: "Don't you realize what you've done?"

The debate is raging with many explanations of what Putin is doing. The US/NATO continues to foment chaos around Russia and China with the goal of bringing them to their proper place in the NWO as vassals so that the Western banks and militaries can set up a regime of imposed rents and asset stripping.

My guess is that Putin saved Obama's chestnuts again and maybe they both get the Nobel Peace Prize. The rumor is that Putin is consulting with Kiev and maneuvering to replace the leadership of DLPRs while the shelling of the Donetsk, Spartak, etc. has gone way up. Putin still continues to urge both parties to obey the Minsk II accords.

Of course, what do we know? He's the Eleven Dimensional Chess Master.
