Title: Russia's involvement in Syria is scaring me. Post by: RED-DOG on October 08, 2015, 07:38:10 AM That Putin is a devious bugger. I don't know what his motives are but altruism isn't high on my list.
And why is he fannying about in Turkish air space? Accidental my arse. It's like when you're in the pub and suddenly the atmosphere changes. You know it's time to get your coat or at least get your back against a wall. Title: Re: Russia's involvement in Syria is scaring me. Post by: kukushkin88 on October 08, 2015, 07:50:49 AM The media distorting reality to make news (as always) doesn't help. It seems clear they are bombing as much in support of a pro Assad agenda as much as an anti IS one but I can't see they represent any threat to the UK or the wider world.

Have the movies taught you nothing? I am starting to have my doubts, seems to me that Mr Putin is a guy that likes to get things done. Title: Re: Russia's involvement in Syria is scaring me.

Thought this was quite interesting, from a conference last year. However, for all I know, he might be telling everyone what he had for dinner :) I read that Putin & Obama met last week, but haven't had a chance to read up on what transpired.

Excellent gamesmanship.
