re: #127 publicityStunted

Normally I feel the same way, but this is an exception. It’s needed to drive home the point that Putin is providing the weapons used to butcher civilians..

Actually, he’s doing more than that; Russia is apparently supplying weapons to both sides of the Syrian conflict - seems they don’t care who’s killing who, just so long as they make a profit off of it. And if those pesky rebels actually do win and Assad falls, then they’ll be able to marginalize the involvement with Assad and portray themselves as having been on the rebel’s side the whole time. Everything’s legitimate for the sake of preserving economic (sales) and strategic (Tarsus port) interests in the region - human rights be damned…
