Chris Hedges on Oligarchy and the Global Collapse

[marble falls]

3. Chris I have no problem with. RT I have huge problems with ....

the west doesn't have a clue about what to do except keep up pressure from the UN and to encourage the Arab League to engage Assad. The Russians would like everybody to butt out and let Assad handle it. That has been the constant RT line on Syria from the start. They are using Hedges well founded (in my opinion) suggestion that interfering by active "regime change" is a very bad idea as represented by Iraq and Afghanistan and the muddled actions the US and NATO used to try to topple Gaddafi, to further the Russian agenda. Which is to give Assad a free hand at putting down a "criminals and terrorists" rebellion.
