It is difficult reading this bias piece of nonsense you tender as an objective analysis. The claim that Russia has demonstrated aberrant behavior in supporting its ally Syria, is humorous at your mere attempt to introduce such selective amnesia to buttress your crippled suggestion.

Let me remind you that the U.S. client apartheid state, Israel has been the most belligerent country in this area of North Africa, the so-called Middle East. Israel and US possess the most assortments of Mass-destruction-weapons – Nuclear and Chemical – and they continue to use and threaten anyone who does not subscribe to their deviant philosophies, with annihilation.

Within the past months – three, Israel has bombed the Sovereign Country of Syria at LEAST three times, and nothing of the slap-on-the-wrist from the dogs of war-of-aggression England, France, and America, was even mentioned. This article simple demonstrates how well you dance to the Big-Six Orchestra, Israel, France, England, USA, Netherlands, and Canada. There has been a war in the Democratic Republic of Congo where 10,000,000 people, not 100,000 Black people have been killed, but have you ever thought that the security council of the UN should put an end to this carnage?

Why are you suddenly concerned about the Syrian PEOPLE? Do you even have a clue of the number of the people of Palestine, Palestinian Refugees are scattered across the Planet, after being TERRORISED by Israel with the assistance of USA and their land and homes stolen in the name of God, Jehovah? Russia, you say? Take a look!

The whole of the middle-east is doomed. The Arabs are fighting among themselves. Religious differences corruption, dictatorship, violence between tribes, rich vs poor, female suppression, poor health care and malnutrition, rich in Oil, Gas and bullets, doomed to fail and will sure to blame the West for all their ills.

What is starkly present and relevant for us regarding Syria is this:

WHEN WE ELECT REAL GOONS LIKE THE UWP's DRUG BARON WE HAVE IN GOVERNMENT BUT HAD IN THE UWP CABINET, AND WE ELECT EX-CONVICTS FROM US JAILS AS OUR REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEY OVERSTEP THE BOUNDARIES OF DECENCY AND HUMANITY ...

Ladies and gentlemen, we are on our own!

Sir Ronald, Admiral of the Ocean Blue; or was that the title of the pirate Christopher Colombo? Next time you mention "Narrow interest", remember these FACTS you conveniently choose to ignore, since the posting of such information would endanger your ability to Kneel an kiss the foot of your Pirate Elizabeth-ii.

A country's diplomatic relations should reflect the dictum that "a country does not have perpetual friends only perpetual self-interest". When that happens we get a better picture.
