Putin: West exports 'airstrike democracy' to cling to Arab influence

Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized the West for clinging to its influence in the Arab world under the guise of "humanitarian operations." He dubbed western involvement in Arab affairs as nothing more than a "rocket and bomb democracy." At a meeting with top Russian diplomats Putin said that certain countries will do anything to retain the influence they have become accustomed to in the Arab world. He stressed that western nations often adopt a one-sided policy in Arab affairs that violates international law. RT's Sean Thomas followed the address.

Also the media must be completely de-centralised. We saw how the media controlled the primaries in the states, even go as far as to remove names from the polls to favour wall street's choice. Split the media up, making it illegal for any one institution to own more than 15% of news media outlets. Might be hard to pull off though.

I'd prefer not to have to fight Russia & China over Syria<--(I couldn't even find it on a map!). I can see why China & Russia do joint military exercises now. I really hope that the Russian & Chinese presidents does everything in their power to end things diplomatically. Everyone needs to come to some kind of compromise, because the alternative is unthinkable! If America wants to go down a archaic road of oil oil oil til the end...let them. Don't allow international greed to destroy our planet!

Long live to Russia and Syria!

Well, the media is already set in wall street, so SEC will not intervene. That plus the whistleblower act is no longer effective.
