cold war

I read in the papers daily almost now of the military build up in European countries as counter measure to other countries acts of aggression what i would like to hear is peoples opinions is this putin and his aggressive tone or is he just testing the west to see what he can get away with and have we made the situation worse by dancing to putins tune and making these military manoevres

kingkyrie ok what is your take here we are more or less trying to sort out the problem in Syria and trying to get rid of isis with putins co operation but when you have a man like putin who backs the murdering regime that governs Syria and categorically refuse to help remove him from power and is killing innocent civilians in there bombing raids

If you remove Assad, then you will have Islamist radicals like the Islamic State or other groups taking over the country. Is that what you want?

Also, what I really do not understand is why so many Americans and other Westerners have a problem with Putin supporting Assad when the U.S., the UK and France have been toppling regimes and bombing and invading countries all over the Middle East for 15 years. How many innocent civilians were killed in these wars by the West? How many innocent civilians were killed by American drone strikes? The U.S. and UK are currently supporting Saudi Arabia's indiscriminate bombing in Yemen.

First of all, Putin jumped in after more than five year of,let's say "poor results". Second what has the West to do with Syria and not all other dictator regime's, why just that country and not let's say Sudan, Saudi Arabia, ore Nigeria to bring "justice"? Third, Assad is maybe a cruel dictator but you want to replace it by the "moderate rebels" who slaughter ten year old kids on the market place by slitting it's head off?
Time to stop with all those political correct non sense and let's just tell truth, we/you want power, nothing more ore less, but stop with the fucking lie we come to bring "justice", we are the same kinda pigs as Putin and maybe even worse.
