Putin’s Take Not All Wrong

Putin’s take not all wrong:

"The outrage expressed by so many American politicians about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s op-ed in the New York Times is an interesting exercise in speciousness, given that much of what the Russian president wrote is factually correct...his analysis of the conflict is bang-on when he says that, 'There are few champions of democracy in Syria.' Certainly there are no good guys in this conflict and support for either side is a losing proposition. The outcome of the Syrian civil war will surely be detrimental to the majority of Syrians, no matter who wins."
