Of course Putin ordered the UN resolution on Syria to be vetoed. Bashar al-Assad is his kind of guy…after Putin was once a KGB operative, a member of the old Soviet secret police force tasked with smashing any hint of free speech and thought in the old USSR.
He also wants to hang on to those warm water facilities at Tartus.
Remember this photo taken of Russian soldiers in Budapest in 1956? They were in the process of restoring Hungary’s chains.
Crushing dissent with brutal violence is wired into his DNA.
Keep firing at those protestors, Bashar…you’ll never run out of ammunition while Vladimir’s around…
