Vladimir Putin sat down with charlie rose in an exclusive CBS interview. Putin was asked what his intentions where in Syria; if he was there to fight ISIS or to defend Syria's president Bashar AL Assad. Putin's responses where right to the point and precise.

The president of Russia said their involvement in Syria was to both Destroy ISIS and to reinforce the beaten down Syrian forces. When told that some of the Coalition forces would not help defeat ISIS until Assad was killed putin talked said that if Bashar Assad fell Syria would become like it's neighbor Iraq or Libya when the rebels there killed Muammar Gaddafi. I support Russia and Vladimir Putin on this Issue. If Assad does indeed fall this will further aid in the rise of terrorism and bring them closer to home.

Russian President Vladimir Putin rarely gives interviews to foreign media, but at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum last week, he spoke with Charlie Rose on a wide range of topics.

1. You must be a mind reader, I was looking for that!

In light of what Kunstler said about the interview...

3. Thanks for the Kunstler link....

It was a good read...

The only thing good I can say about Charlie Rose (since I've never liked his interview style) is that he at least has interviewed Putin twice. After watching MSNBC's interview this morning with John Kerry about US discussions with Putin at UN and their "panel of experts" talking about how Putin supposedly snubbed Obama by being 20 minutes late to their scheduled meeting over Syria....I could almost appreciate Charlie's giving airtime to Putin to speak for himself.

From the Kerry interview it looks like USA policy will be to help Russia try to get an agreement with Assad while working with them to try to control ISIL. Although, Obama feels Assad should go sooner than Russia wants.

What a mess we've made in the ME and even in the Kerry interview he wouldn't bring up that ISIL is not a unified group but a collection of fighters left over from our intervention in Iraq, Libya, Syria along with other radical elements USA and Allies have supported and funded who have turned against us. And, Obama in his UN speech went at Putin for invading Ukraine and other bellicose language that sounded written by the NeoCons and John McCain where the history of what we had done in the ME was supposedly a warning to Putin that bringing Democracy is important to prevent tyrants. He didn't get much applause for the long speech except when he mentioned lifting the sanctions on Cuba.

4. In following the thread about Putin, I stumbled across another unintentional mess...

How Britain created Pakistan's most dangerous place.
Which is linked to the various factions fighting all over the Middle East.
A really delicious read, and the source/link has lots of interesting articles ( including what REALLY was behind WW1)

As the United States struggles to broker an endgame to the decade-old war in Afghanistan, an arid mountain region in northwestern Pakistan not much larger than Vermont has emerged as the key to the beleaguered Afghan state’s future—and perhaps Pakistan’s as well. Often described as the most dangerous place on earth, Pakistan’s semiautonomous tribal region serves as a haven for Al Qaeda operatives, Pakistani militants, and jihadists from across the Islamic world, as well as Muslim radicals from the United States and Europe who come for ideological instruction and to plot terrorist attacks in their home countries.

The region officially known as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas has a long history of fierce independence and lawlessness. Occupying less than five percent of Pakistan’s total area, it is divided into seven semiautonomous districts. The thick forests and numerous caves that dot the treacherous mountains make the region a natural redoubt for insurgents. Six of the districts border Afghanistan. Two are at the heart of the current tribal unrest: North and South Waziristan. The division is mostly a matter of administrative convenience; it is generally more useful to think in terms of one Waziristan. Most of Waziristan’s population is composed of Wazirs and Mehsud, two of the fiercest tribes of an ethnic group, the Pashtuns, whose homeland extends into Afghanistan.

Tribal members zealously guard their independence under a code of honor known as pashtunwali, and no foreign invader, from Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan to the British in the 19th and 20th centuries, has ever tamed them. Sir Olaf Caroe, who had the misfortune to be a British colonial administrator in the region during the 1940s, likened the Wazirs to panthers and the Mehsud to wolves: “Both are splendid creatures; the panther is slyer, sleeker, and has more grace, the wolf pack is more purposeful, more united, and more dangerous.” The two tribes, segmented into a complex array of clans and other subgroups, have long coexisted in a state of chronic feuding, though they have always united when faced with an invader.
