Re: Putin’s deference to Western powers and the recent shooting down of a Russian Military Aircraft
The Saker, a pro-Putin Russian, has made every attempt to trivialise the outrageous tactics, an illegal bombing of Syria by Israel, which resulted in the loss of a Russian military aircraft and 14 Russian lives.
This latest attack on Russia, effectively, and Putin’s usual cowardice, vacillation and then deference is characteristic of Putin who always chooses to ‘cave’ when confronted by western aggression, note his previous behaviour when confronted, in particular the unjustified attacks on Libya, the former Yugoslavia, now destroyed, though Putin continues to ignore the plight of traditional ally Serbia. Now combine the above realities with Putin’s known ENORNMOUS personal wealth in the hundreds of US$millions, which has been traced to WESTERN banks and tax havens; it would surely be an impossibility for a thinking person NOT to consider the possibility of Putin’s corruption by globalists. Which known and recorded facts, you Mr Saker, continually choose to IGNORE.
Yes, Putin is known to be cautious but he is also known to display cowardice openly when directly and indirectly confronted/attacked by western powers, a fact that Washington and Israel bank on and Washington in particular openly considers laughable.
The Saker begins his apologetic, feeble piece by referring to the usual hysterics of internet trolls, which no professional writer ever heeds.
"Over the past 24 hours the Internet, including this blog, have been flooded with opinion on what everybody and anybody would do if they were in Putin’s boots.“ [Who cares?]The above is completely irrelevant as for the most part it refers to uninformed reader comments, I remind you Mr Saker that informed and average educated readers look to the ‘alternative’ media for quality commentary and depth analysis; you Mr Saker are supposed to be a professional, however, this latest feeble pro-Putin apologetic piece, clearly does little to enhance your reputation. Consider Paul Craig Roberts’ response to the same event, in contrast, intelligent, informative and comprehensive and PCR is also known as a Putin apologist though his convinction today seems to be suffering from too many hard knocks from REALITY.
“Also, speaking of Syria: has anybody noticed that the agreement between Turkey and Russia has removed any justification for a US attack on Syria and that the Israelis have organized their latest little bloody stunt right after this deal was announced?”Now consider this: since when does the USA and its allies require valid justification to launch their grossly ILLEGAL attacks on weaker nations? Need I remind you of previous feeble pretexts, re: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, give the thinking world a break Mr Saker!
