COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
Jens Stoltenberg has said so many stupid things in recent
time that his words now come as just noise.
Russia of course has troops in Syria, troops to service
their planes, load munitions, guard the base, and prepare food.
Such support always comes with an air presence by anyone
anywhere. Any thinking person knows that.
To refer to them as "boots on the ground" (a dumb
American expression for troops somewhere) is completely asinine.
Putin is clever, cautious, and decisive - an excellent
combination in a leader - and he is not ready to march into any potential
morass.
Besides the Syrian Army is doing a good job of defending its
country, only being impeded by the immense secret assistance America and Israel
with their associates have provided the terrorist gangs trying to destroy Syria.
What Russia is doing is simply erasing that assistance. The
Syrian Army will do the rest.
Jens Stoltenberg is just pitching one more line of
anti-Russian American propaganda, attempting to feed the bonfire of ignorant
fear America has kept burning in Europe since its engineered coup in Ukraine.
My question is: considering its face-value worthlessness,
why does The Independent bother giving it prominence?
