Hey, Putin, Listen Up, Dude

[RobertEarl]

You need to declare, as Obama has, that using chemical warfare is nyet.

You are the main supporter of the Syrian military and it is thought they are using chemicals in the civil war there. It is time, if you really want peace, to declare you are against the use of chemical warfare and that you will do all you can to have the chemicals removed from Syria.

Don't screw this up, Putin. Get to work; as Obama has.

3. "Putin said Saturday that Russia denounced the use of chemical weapons..."

....

“Claims that the proof exists, but is classified and cannot be presented to anybody are below criticism,” Putin said during a trip to the far eastern city of Vladivostok. “This is plain disrespect for their partners.”

The White House released a report Friday blaming Assad’s regime for the attack, which cited “human, signals and geospatial intelligence,” as well as open source materials such as social media reports and videos of the alleged attack. The report explicitly stated that it omitted certain classified evidence, which was only made available to the US Congress.

Putin said Saturday that Russia denounced the use of chemical weapons and was ready for “consolidated participation in drafting measures to oppose such acts.”

He also denied discussing possible US military strikes on Syrian targets with his US counterpart Barack Obama on the phone.

But Putin said he was hoping to take up the Syrian issue with Obama during the upcoming G20 summit in Russia’s St. Petersburg on September 5-6.

4. Thanks Jd

I figured he had said something against chemical warfare.

But the fact remains that Syria is said to have extensive stocks of chemical agents. I get that our media is not prone to printing anything which makes Russia look good, but at this moment, were Putin to go large behind ending chemical warfare, he could do the whole situation a world of good.

I'm sending positive vibes out for the G-20.

5. He doesn't read this board.

But maybe you could Tweet him?

[RobertEarl]

6. Sure he does.

What else has he got to do? <snicker>

This is the premium libearl American political discussion board in the whole world. We are not being totally ignored.

7. I heard President Obama reads this board also, and we are the reason he changed his mind at the

last minute...Whew, thank god for DU..

[RobertEarl]

8. You heard?

Got a link?

Or are you just another one who thinks that liberals are totally ignored? That our mass consciousness has no impact on the world?

[monmouth3]

9. A sense of humor would be helpful to so many here...sigh..

[zappaman]

10. Nah.

He's too busy checking out chicks since he is quite single and available.

[ehcross]

11. Putin can say grace

Trouble is, Putin will NEVER accept his Syrian pals played with chemical stuff.

[RobertEarl]

12. Let's hope he does

It certainly would make the hoped for Carter peace summit much more effective.

And it would maybe make sure CW is never used again. Heck, even go so far as to make sure wars are ended.

13. Kicking

I am glad they are getting their act together and averting war.
