I think you should take a remedial English class because what I just wrote does not equal do nothing.

Well between the expansion of the base in Syria and building a new air base in Belarus Putin is certainly trying to pretend to be a big swinging military macho guy. I am sure the usual suspects will eat it up even as their standard of living declines and Putin's corrupt system still keeps stealing everything not nailed down.

Seriously, Russian liberals are completely insane. I prefer to give votes to an opposition, so i guess it's communists again this time for me, at least they're not bat **** crazy.

Meanwhile, in Russia, less than a dozen received actual refugee status, which allows for tangible benefits, argues Tanya Lokshina, the Russia program director and a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, based in Moscow.

“Russia could really do so much more to help those fleeing from Syria - and to alleviate the European burden - but it appears to be reluctant to do so,” she told Russia Direct. “Also and most importantly, Russia should've long contributed to the resolution of the Syria crisis by stopping to block the UN Security Council from taking meaning action, by stopping to provide weapons to the Syrian government and by exercising its significant leverage with Assad to put an end to the use of barrel bombs, an infamously indiscriminate destructive weapon, in densely populated areas.”

So, basically, not only that insane chick says that we should betray our ally, she thinks that turning against Assad and letting ISIS win will actually reduce a number of refugees? Isn't it kinda the same idea as helping Hitler to conquer more countries faster so he'll be able to kill more Jews, reasoning that it's better for Jews to be killed by Nazi instead of them becoming refugees and bothering other countries? Sure, there is a chance that it can actually work, but it's wrong on so many levels... And hearing that from a "liberal" and a woman?

Does anyone actually give a **** about Russia anymore? The US presidential election is far more entertaining.
