CNN Anchor Demands Americans "Stop Swooning Over Putin"
We’ll just put this bluntly: when you, as a country, do something incredibly stupid from a foreign policy perspective, you open the door for your global critics and adversaries to i) call you out on it publicly, and ii) use your gross incompetence and general disregard for anything that even approximates common sense, to their geopolitical advantage.
And make no mistake, in Syria, Washington, Riyadh, and Doha did something incredibly stupid.
They financed, armed, and trained a hodgepodge of Sunni extremists in Syria in an attempt to destabilize a regime that was deemed to be unfriendly to the interests of the West and its regional allies.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but from the perspective of human suffering, the results have been simply horrific: hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced.
From a reputational perspective, the results have been equally catastrophic. Not only did the US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have a hand in creating the group that ultimately morphed into what we never tire of characterizing as an insane band of white basketball shoe-wearing, black flag-waving, sword-wielding desert bandits bent on establishing a medieval caliphate, but subsequent efforts to arm and train “moderate” rebels were wildly unsuccessful, and the entire effort culminated in the embarrassing admission that the Pentagon’s latest “program” - designed to field 5,400 fighters by the end of the year - had only managed to produce “four or five” soldiers at a cost to the US taxpayer of $41 million.
Finally, the US just threw up its hands and resorted to paradropping hundreds of tons of ammo into the middle of nowhere and hoping the “right” people pick it up.
So one could be forgiven for being slightly enamored with the Russians at this juncture because in one extraordinarily elegant geopolitical chess move, Vladimir Putin has all at once i) exposed the fact that perhaps the US has ulterior motives for wanting to (gasp) keep ISIS around, ii) marked a triumphant return for Russia to the world stage, iii) strengthened Moscow’s relationship with Tehran ahead of the latter’s re-emergence as a force in the world of oil exporters, and iv) effectively restored Bashar al-Assad on the way to establishing a major Russian presence in the Mid-East.
And that’s in the space of, oh, let’s just call it three weeks.
This has been nothing short of a humiliation for Washington and just as Beijing simply instructed people not to sell when the SHCOMP rout embarrassed the Communist Party, the US wants you to know that it’s enough already with the Putin worship. Here’s CNN’s Fareed Zakaria: demanding that you to “Stop swooning over Putin”:
From a WaPo op-ed:
Vladimir Putin has the United States’ foreign policy establishment swooning.One columnist admires the “decisiveness” that has put him “in the driver’s seat” in the Middle East. A veteran diplomat notes gravely, “It’s the lowest ebb since World War II for U.S. influence and engagement in the region.” A sober-minded pundit declares, “Not since the end of the Cold War a quarter-century ago has Russia been as assertive or Washington as acquiescent.”
It’s true that it has been a quarter-century since Moscow has been so interventionist outside its borders. The last time it made these kinds of moves, in the late 1970s and 1980s, it invaded Afghanistan and interfered in several other countries as well. Back then, commentators similarly hailed those actions as signs that Moscow was winning the Cold War. How did that work out for the Soviet Union?
And now that we’ve given you a chance to thoroughly deride the American media for the anti-Putin line, we will once again prove that we are in fact fair and balanced. Here's what Zakaria gets right:
Washington deposed Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq (Syria’s next-door neighbor, with many of the same tribes and sectarian divides). It did far more in Iraq than anyone is asking for in Syria, putting170,000 soldiers on the ground at the peak and spending nearly $2 trillion. And yet, a humanitarian catastrophe has ensued — with roughly 4 millioncivilians displaced and at least 150,000 killed. Washington deposed Moammar Gaddafi’s regime in Libya but chose to leave nation-building to the locals. The result has been what the New Yorker calls “a battle-worn wasteland.” In Yemen, the United States supported regime change and new elections. The result: a civil war that is tearing the country apart.
Of course he then skips directly to this:
Those who are so righteous and certain that this next intervention would save lives should at least pause and ponder the humanitarian consequences of the last three.
To which we say: Fareed, you seem to have forgotten that it wasn't Russia who trained and armed the groups who plunged Syria into civil war, it was the US and its regional allies.
You might want to mention that next time before you go getting too "righteous and certain."

Well CNN...they're credible...
Really should of went through 1 more rewrite at the cia before they handed it off.
What's sad is the management from the top down---Barry, doj, cia, even much of the fbi is now incompetent or distorted. How much money have Eric "Fast & Furious" Holder and Loretta spent on indicting some soccer fans while hundreds of Banker and Wall Street white criminals roam [and destroy] our nation from within?
cia and fbi and doj used to be excellent departments...they have really gone downhill.
There's a lot of Affirmative Action going on in Washington.
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
Putin may not be that great, but compared to the rest he is like a god on earth.
Go Vlad Go. You can't be any worse than the fucking Tribe.
The Tribe hate him because he cannot be bought.
I'll admit that it's nice to see the US' transparently diabolical foreign policy humiliated. At the same time, I am loathe to celebrate Putin. Let's not forget that Russian peasants celebrated the invading Nazi forces in WWII, thinking them liberators. If Putin becomes powerful enough, he too will prove the historic reality that power has no conscience.
"I'll admit that it's nice to see the US' transparently diabolical foreign policy humiliated. At the same time, I am loathe to celebrate Putin. Let's not forget that Russian peasants celebrated the invading Nazi forces in WWII, thinking them liberators."
No. That was in Poland, not in the USSR.
"If Putin becomes powerful enough, he too will prove the historic reality that power has no conscience."
Yes, yes, of course. "They're all the same, all part of the NeoZiocon World Order (or whatchacallit), so don't bother. It's all a scam. Go back to your porn, your six packs of beer, your GMO hamburgers, Kim Kardashian and forget it all."
Even Polish peasants know that an invading Nazi Army should be "greeted" with caution, if not fear.
Those were Ukrainians.
Maybe those peasants were aware that a foreign tribe of Marxists backed by international bankers from the same tribe had taken control of their land and were systematically exterminating the indigenous Russ to the tune of 30 million and they knew that the rejuvenated Germanic peoples were aware of this same threat to their lands and culture also. Therefore they (the Russian peasants) must have been conflicted , on the one hand the Germans were "invaders" but on the other hand they were also potential "saviors". Too bad the "good guys" the saviors, being vastly out numbered and attacked on all sides lost , and their land and culture still occupied to this day by Zionist forces. Russia may be in the process of liberating itself from Zio-control , we shall see, it still has a BIS controled central bank, if that is ever taken down then I will be more convinced.
Just more nonsense from the corporate media echo chamber.
"extraordinarily elegant"
Who could deny it?
Shut your fucking mouth Fareed, you paid off race traitor.
Fareed . . . sounds ragheady to me.
Dictator, tsar, thug, strongman, KGB: Western journalism's demonization of President Putin
The major influential western print media are engaged in a prolonged, large-scale effort to demonize Russian President Putin, his politics and persona. There is an article (or several articles) every day in which he is personally stigmatized as a dictator, authoritarian, czar, 'former KGB operative' and Soviet-style ruler; anything but the repeatedly elected President of Russia.
He is accused of hijacking Russia from the 'road to democracy', as pursued by his grotesquely corrupt predecessor Boris Yeltsin; of directing the bloody repression of the 'freedom loving Chechens'; of jailing innocent, independent and critical oligarchs and robber barons; of fomenting an uprising in the 'democratic, newly pro-Western' Ukraine and seizing control of Crimea; of backing a 'bloody tyrant' in Syria (elected President Bashar Assad) in a civil war against ISIS terrorists; of running the Russian economy into the ground; and of militarily threatening the Baltic and Eastern European NATO member countries.
In a word, the media have propagated an image of an 'out-of-control autocrat', who makes a mockery of 'democratic' norms and 'Western values', and who seeks to revive the 'Soviet (aka Evil) Empire'.

truth is an athama to some indoctrinated people. Bringing strawman arguments instead of acknowledging your debunked evidences is the last thing you cave choomboys will resort to. You can speak english? But still you know shit apologist.
anathema, you uneducated russian queen. :)
Now you giving spelling lessons here as well?
Better stick to your script if you expect to get your potato.
Hey if you rus morons want to take your feudal country into the first world, you'll need the ability to employ English, the language of world business, properly.

How's your EU visa application coming along.....LOL! I hear they still have openings for toilet pit cleaners in Moscow.
Gross. The toilets in that third world hellhole are probably pretty nasty. They have indoor plumbing, or would it be more like the old time honey dippers? And a EU visa? Why would I want to go to that congested mass of stinky people?
Ukropsi profession of honey dippers is not old time and somehow still in demand:

The G7 central banks are impotent against Putin as he has outmaneuvered them at every turn. But for the big boys at Basel, things are proceeding according to plan. If the BIS has to sacrifice some of its central banks to get what it wants, so be it. The BIS will also think nothing of fermenting the conditions for the next world war. Has Putin Really Killed the New World Order? READ HERE: http://osnetdaily.com/2015/10/stop-the-putin-worship-hes-a-former-kgb-th...
Time will tell us on that.I have no doubt, because of Russias earlier weakness, that
Putin would have had to appear to play along with the NWO.
I've taken the time to listen to ALL his speeches that I can find. He seems to have had
a genuine epiphany after his time as a lawyer for the KGB,yes he was no head man, but a legal
counsel.Him being a lawyer is definitely the only thing that damns him from my research.
Otherwise he appears a real patriot,statesman, and a practicing Christian.
Humiliation of the US State Dept (and all US patriots - sorry if that word upsets a few folks on this site) is actually the least of our burnt vanities. We have lost the trust and confidence of our allies and the most important of them right now is Israel (no apologies to the bigots on this site). There will be consequences to the Iran deal that you could not have imagined. Amongst the incompetent decsions this one is far and away the worst for the US homeland and her allies and the beginnning has begun.
Please explain whay a miniscule country of 5 million is the US's most important ally ?
We are all ears.
Yes Danepol please explain why not finding Israeli attrocities acceptable makes one a "bigot" ? Is that the new ad hominem now that "anti-semite" does,nt work anymore ?
We have lost the trust of the Israelis? That's rich. Which ones, actually? The Democrats or the Republicans?
I remember a boss who was bundling for BHO. Within two years he had flipped to the GOP because BHO was supporting the anti-Mubarak MB in Egypt. Israel decided to move their guy Sisi in without a "by-your-leave". Then Eric Kantor lost his seat despite all of Sheldon's help. I think my friend is now updating his Canadian passport. If the Canadians can't figure us out, I imagine its even harder for the Scandies. So far away from the center.
As long as it's on their own pocketbook it's all good, Danish guy. Egypt is a big country to keep a lid on, though. To do it you really need a big checkbook.
Danepol, you ignorant slut.
Now count after me...
1. Fuck Zionist Israeli terror.
2. Post something interesting, or get shot.
3. Learn how to spell in English fuck head.
The media's priests still swoon over their failed Black messiah. How dare a mere man, Putin, denigrate their demi-god.
And Putin just sits there and chuckles. Menial, bankrupted, corrupted, over-weight loosers.
Fareed is to news, as Barak is to truth...
Well, for what's it's worth, I demand that said CNN anchor STFU.
When you have paid mouthpieces like Zakaria hyperventilating about the "sheeple" thinking for themselves you know you're winning. Suck it Fareed.
For a good laugh read the comments section of that article.
That zionist needs to read the transcript of Putin's UN speech - and then tell me who's right and who's wrong in the ME.
are you stupid?...fareed is not a zionist...he is muslem
Zion is a scheme, not a religion.
If Vlad did all this in 3 weeks... I think the clock is ticking on the smelly House of Saud(omites)... Our Hopeless Lord Clown Obunga has a year to go... by that time, Iran and Russia will OWN Saudi Arabia. Guess where the price of oil will go to? Obongo has not only taken down the USA... but the entire west.
Betcha miss me now -- Dick Cheney
I would prefer not to miss you.
The more I think about it, it would be more fun to have Obama for another term, if the alternative is Hillary. After all, Team Obama is only likely to start WW3 by mistake, while with Hillary, it's probably policy.
After all, the Constitution is outdated anyway. Ask Mr. Zacharia.
Its a little hard not to like a world leader that is cleaning up house.
Also its not that people like Putin a lot, its that they hate Obama more dudes trash , worst president in human history only one who could do any worse is Hillary or Sanders
I demand that the public stop swooning over "politically correct" minority stooges.
he's just auditioning for the Secretary of State job, like any good little kosher candidate.

"CNN has joined Time Magazine and suspended Fareed Zakaria following his admission of plagiarism.
"We have reviewed Fareed Zakaria’s TIME column, for which he has apologized," CNN said in a written statement. "He wrote a shorter blog post on CNN.com on the same issue which included similar unattributed excerpts. That blog post has been removed and CNN has suspended Fareed Zakaria while this matter is under review."

https://ourbadmedia.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/fareed-zakaria-never-stoppe...
Fareed plagerized this WAPOO column from the White House Monkey's State Department.
Our loving ZH message to Fareed and the WAPOO...
Plagerize this you FUCK:
"Fareed Zakaria, his wife Paula Throckmorton Zakaria, and his children Omar and Sofia are on The List."
Sleep well mother fuckers.
Wapooped, indeed.
Yeah, that was pretty funny. At the time Zakaria's plagiarism came to light, I was scheduled to work with him twice as a guest speaker for different corporate clients of mine. He was getting 5-figures to speak; I think it was lower 5-figures, but $10,000-$25,000, which would have been his range at the time, is pretty good coin to come in and give a 45-minute talk to a softball corporate audience, with all your travel and lodging expenses paid.
But I never met him. He cancelled all his engagements. One group hired Peter Bergen instead. Another group hired Soledad O'Brien, for some reason. That was funny. She messed up running her microphone up her shirt so I had to reach up (and down) there to do it for her. Not the worst thing I've had to do on the job.
It means he's perfectly qualified to deliver bullshit for Project Mockingbird. I'm not surprised.
Operation Mockingbird by example. The CIA scripted every bit of this.
Well put.
And "Thank you!" to Putin for doing the absolutely correct thing in Syria. We can only hope that the next POTUS fires all the dead-wood cold warriors and turns a new leaf on US-Russia relations.
And hopefully, the Saudi/Turkey/Sunni-Arab coalition gets kicked to the curb and abandoned along with the notion "We need their oil!". 'Cause we don't need their damned oil!
A few years ago I wrote a piece on my personal blog that I titled "Marketing Skills - FAIL" (you can Google it), whick included the following couple of paragraphs that are relevant to this present thread. Nothing has changed, has it?
We think of marketing as a particularly Western skill. After all, it is Western companies that sell fizzy drinks and cigarettes and hamburgers in all corners of the world. It’s a puzzling anomaly that Western governments have become so hopeless at political propaganda in recent times. They used to be so good at it. What went wrong?
The US is the classic example of marketing failure. Yes, it can still bamboozle most of its subjects – and not just Nascar Nation, either. But its hold on the minds of its middle-class citizens is weakening steadily, as is its credibility with the Western middle class in general. Invading Iraq & Libya & Yemen & Somalia & Syria while preaching peace to Iran is humbug pure and unadulterated.
globalist shill, nothing more, nothing less.

We can politely and with dignity point out that Putin is the greatest Statesman of our time, the defender and savior of Russia, it's culture and of Christianity -the Savior of the Middle east and hopefully of the West -the greatest man and leader of my lifetime -perhaps since Jesus Christ himself-
We can do this with reason, common sense and facts - but I agree wikth CNN -there's no need to "swoon".
21 thumbs up on that comment; proves to me that Jesus is God - thumbs up #22.
So I see it's Zakaria's turn to run the ball for the DC Elites. All the top-line guys must be hurt, huh?
Zakaria doesn't have much to work with here, so he goes with the old standby, misdirection. His whole piece on WaPo is kind of vertigo-inducing. He starts by claiming that the DC Opinion Elite is "fawning" over Putin. He then proceeds to warn that that's not such a good idea, because the recent history of the US in its brainless Zbigniew Brzezinski/Paul Wolfowitz foreign military interventions is a poor one. The results have been bad for the US. Mr. Zakaria doesn't really make a point in his piece, but I think he meant to say that Putin is acting as the US has been acting, and since it hasn't worked for the US, it won't work for Putin, so the DC Elites should stop "fawning" over him.
In other words, he didn't have much to work with, and he didn't do much with it, either.
The only "Fawning" I've seen over Putin has been by US right-wingers, and a lot of it has been couched in truly objectionable terms. Yes, Putin is white, he's not Muslim, he's overtly heterosexual, and he is quite physically active for a man of his age. So what. He's also the former enforcer for the Russian Mob in St. Petersburg, and a former KGB officer. In other words, Putin is as nasty a customer as there is. We can acknowledge his strengths, but "admiration" and "fawning" would be signs of an extreme moral disability.
However, the US is currently providing a textbook example of how to fuck up so badly that a vicious thug like Putin has the high ground by default. The US has allowed psychopathic sycophants like Paul Wolfowitz and Zbigniew Brzezinski to pursue their insane and immoral schemes across the globe with impunity. Our State Department and Intelligence agencies are crammed to the gills with sycophants to these two monsters as well. Every time I see reference to a new mouthpiece for Empire I look up their bio, and there is always a link to Brzezinski, Wolfowitz or Kissinger; one or all of them; some sort of favor awaiting repayment at some point. Brzezinski, the bloodthirsty Galician, has tried to throw the US into the path of Russia for at least 40 years, if not nearly 60. Wolfowitz thinks the US should invade everyone. The two of them have worked together with the main result being the destruction of the US economy by overspending on the military, and the destruction of US credibility anywhere in the world.
The US can't do anything to restore its global reputation and influence until we have run Brzezinski, Wolfowitz and all their proteges out of power. That means clearing out the State Department and the Intelligence agencies. Then we have to clear their flatterers out of the media. Yes, that means you too, Zakaria.
Then the actual hard work begins. These people have spent decades digging us into a deep, deep hole.
Agreed.
Brzezinski, Wolfowitz, Kissinger and the sycophantic bitches that fawn on them are on "The List" as well.
Believe it.
I think you are making a very serious flaw in part of your analysis. The US is ruled by pyschopaths and PW, ZB, Soros, et al are some slick criminals. But for Putin You are applying your western values and standards to a country and culture that is not the same.
In Russia, as in the Middle East, you must be a strong man to rule. If you are not a strong man the people will take you from your ruling throne, bash your brains in, tie you to the back of a truck and drag you through the streets. Ask the Romanovs about that.
Many Americans and even more American politicians think that everyone in the world is begging for a bowl of democracy. No. Most people are begging for certainty and stablity and Putin has provided that in the most efficient and effective manner possible for his culture. Remember, in Russia, Serfdom/Slavery only ended as late as 1892 (and possibly later in some more remote regions) so it is an entirely different mindset when it comes to freedom.
Lastly, so what if he was a former KGB officer. He served his country well and did his job incredibly well (I make reference to the photo of Putin 'pretending to be a tourist' and having his photo taken with Ronnie Reagan in Red Square. Now that is keeping your enemies close! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/5017264/Did-V...
As for his reputed "mob" connections - fucking people loved Tony Soprano and Tony Corrlione. Why? Because they were strong and they had tremendous leadership and command Presence and they had a set of rules. Besides, I have yet to see any proof of Putin's 'mob' connections. I think this is just a red herring thrown out by those who sense his leadership and political ability, which is quite developed as proven out over decades.
Fawning over "decisiveness". Which means that this is code to members of the establishment to keep calm. This is not falling apart. Don't jump ship yet. Keep your current puppets in place.
There's an undercurrent from different elites that they're dissatisfied with the loss of control. They're sick of the half measure drone war and arming marginal groups that hand over weapons to the enemy.
You're going to have to outsource that to China.

STFU CNN's Zero Zakaria.
Who cares what this piece of subhuman garbage has to say? If an idiot like this tells me something then the only thing I can take away from it is that it's a lie and the opposite is likely the truth. It's time that these Jewish media corporations perish.
Zakaria must be an ISIS ( CIA ) supporter
ZNN hates Putin because he stopped the wholesale robbery of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Putin was made President of Russia after Yeltsin with the 'understanding' that the robbery would continue by the West - lead by the Russian Jews who had fled Communism to the US and Israel. The Russian Jews and their bankers from the west made the mistake of underestimating Putin and they have been slinging shit at him ever since.
Now, it appears Obozo & Company and the House of Saud have made the same mistake. With all of the billions the US spends with the DIA, CIA, NSA, DOS, DOD, FBI, etc, you would think they would learn how to read some fucking history books by now.
Putin became president of Russia and then he threw out the western robber barrons. Yes, the Russian robber barrons remained but even then it is a well known fact he has controlled and managed them the best he could. There are some rumblings about the US the CIA trying to get the ogliarchs to rise up against Putin - and I would not be surprised if the CIA is bankrolling that right now (Operation Quaker Hate) and I pray to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy spirit to give Putin and his people the Strength, Courage and Wisdom to make it through that gauntlet.
We are now in a transition phase and I think that the CIA will most certainly be gunning for Putin and certainly there is no love lost between Putin and the Saudis right now. Anything can happen.
As for Putin Worship: as a child growing up I was taught Reagan was the second best president only to Eisenhower. I grew up in the shaddow of a Titan Missile Silo. I was born and raised to "kill communists". I wore out a VHS tape of "RED DAWN" and yet the facts are indisputable: the US Federal Government is a greater threat to the American people than the Russians. The odds of you or your loved one getting killed by a cop, financially destroyed by the IRS or your children taken from you by CPS are much, much, much higher than any 'threat' from Russia.
Fuck Zareed Fakeria. He isn't even a real American. What the fuck does he know? If he doesn't like what Americans think he can get the fuck out.
Obama brought a basketball to a chess game.
Obama brought a golf tee to a machete fight.
Good News & Bad News... The MSM is getting so blatant with their 24 hr bull shit propaganda that the average GMO fed, couch potato, lazy ass, Amurcan is starting to see the lies. They are beginning to question the TV News. The bad news... They are in a coma like, bad lifesyle induced stupor and don't have the energy or will to get out of their comfy stratolounger and do anything about it. We are so fucked!
I just dont understand how a 14 year conflict can cost hundreds of thousands of lives, millions displaced, creating refugees and orphans for the next 20 years, spending trillions of tax dollars that will be collected by a domestic goon with a gun
... And the MSM has time to criticize putin? Who has been on the scene for 3 weeks? Of course nobody intelligent watches the MSM but those people still vote and outnumber the rest of us. It feels like we are in some type of slow hell. Or at a minimum, a bizzaro world.
.... Maybe it is a good thing that we are such abject failures at spreading "freedom" and "democracy" around the world.
Years of this guy parading US foreign policy assholes to his show on Sunday morning, and does he once bring up that the US is setting the world on fire? Now he has his ghost writer staff pen an article that yet another intervention, this time by Russia, might not turn out so well?
Fuck this dirtbag. No fucking shit, ass wipe. CNN is a wasteland. This isn't even hard hitting.
A simple retort by Russia, "we're not nation building."
When will these cocksuckers realize it's the ultimate indictment of Western elites - i.e. themselves - when reasonable and well-informed people in the West feel forced to support the actions of a ruthless autocrat above the corrupt machinations of their own 'leadership', especially when he's cleaning up the mess these sociopathic fuckers intentionally created?
They spray their BS .... in soft, reasonable tones .... which gives it Faux Gravitas .... all things considered .... they make me puke !
Hasbara are unbeaten champions in trolling .
Fareed Zakaria can go back to whatever shithole he came from. Nothing but neaveau elitist shill.
I ca 't believe anyone even listens to CNN anymore.
Does anyone actually watch CNN?
Putin LOVES HIS COUNTRY, while our little nitwit Obonzo is trying to destroy America. That is what Americans see and why they have envy.
" Obonzo is trying to destroy America."
That is because the U.S.A is not Mary Barry's country. It was his job to divide, delude, and destroy... and he has been successful since most of the peasants don't seem to care.
Obama loves his country, too - Kenya or Indonesia, take your pick.
Question: For how much longer can Mr.Putin continue dodging that CIÀ bullet, snowplow on the runway, plutonium...?
The plutonium is Putins. Plus Putin assassins must experience some trepidation, he has good information and good defenses, and he doesn't miss an opportunity to return the favor offensively. From Russia with love, and all is fair in love and war.
OT but WTF happened with the drone shot down in Turkey story??? Literally disappeared within hours after the headline. If it had been Russian it would have stayed in the news for days. Something is f**ked up in Denmark, and everywhere else for that matter.
By his inaction or his incompetence this "TV personality" is complicit in a crime against humanity. Maybe he thinks he and his fellow criminals of the press will not pay a price for these crimes. I want to hear his explanation as to why not. Go ahead Fareed.
Fareed is learning .... you can't kiss two asses .... at the same time .... he used to fawn over Putin .... like all the MSM snits !
I'll take this a step further and suggest that Muricans stop swooning over all politicians. Every last one of them are vermin who have pledged their allegience to the State Of Israel. Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout y'all Free Mason goyim bitchez.
Excuse me but I just got back from Sunday church services and I read this and this is what immediately comes to mind. What a bunch of scum sucking, bottom feeding psychopathics that we have in politics, media, business and the military in the good ole U.S. of A. (Incorporated). As Amy Winehouse wrote in one of her songs "What kind of fuckery is this?".
As a measure of solidarity with our Russian collegues' war on terror against the CIA sponsored head choppers, I've decided to shave my Taliban. The fucker was beginning to look like a Bushy ISIS terrorist. Wife happy with results as well.
Will Putin restore the Golan Heights to Syria?
As Syria Reels, Israel Looks to Expand Settlements in Golan HeightsWith Syria “disintegrating” after years of civil war, they argue, it is hard to imagine a stable state to which the territory could be returned. Further, they say that international — or, at least, American — recognition of Israel’s 1981 annexation of the Golan would be an appropriate salve to Israeli security concerns in the wake of the nuclear deal with Iran.

I hope the little guy tries. The ensuing obliteration will be...biblical.
It is there land and more as the spoils of war not to mention they only are established on a small parcel, which will be greatly expanded in due time and no one can prevent it because it is written and therefore it is established. Matter not if you or I or any nation agrees or disagrees; it is not our decision and the decision has been made in eternity past; so shut up...are you God?
There is no such person as a Palestinian, there is ONLY a geographic region called Palestine. Based on your logic, the Jews are Palestinians. Based on your logic, Americans are Indians and we could go through each nation and conclude the same. The problem is you are a racist and practice the very things that you hate the Jews for; that is a problem with all people; hypocrisy. The non-Jewish population is predominately Arab; so if the Arabs really cared about their brother and sister Arab's, then the problem is solved when they give up a piece of their land and establish a nation and call it Palestine if they wish.
If you do not think God has established all things, then explain why Israel even exists given it was wiped out in AD 70 by the Romans in most recent history about 2000 years ago. Many other & MUCH greater nations have come and gone & we would not have known of their existence if not for the truth of Scripture and archaeology, but God said He would restore the land to Israel and He began in 1948 and is not yet complete in its fullness.
Want to disprove the Scripture, then wipe out Israel permanently; will not happen on this earth.
Later on, Israel, the nation will be the light/witness to the whole world and there will be no doubt that it is the work of Christ via the Holy Spirit. Specifically in Zechariah, God told us that it will not be by the STRENGTH of MANY nor the STRENGTH of one great man, but by the Spirit of God; so no one will doubt the source.
Just as all things spoken of by God though his prophets, servants and Kings have come to pass; this to shall come to pass and the judgment of the world based on His righteousness will also come to pass. Do you have His righteousness? In other words; are you as moral and perfect as Jesus Christ; if you say no, then you do not meet the standard and are condemned already; if you say yes, then you are a liar. That intended dilemma has only One solution.
maybe the fucking US should stop being such a fucking evil empire, torturing, assassinating, murdering, lying, invading piece of shit. from where i stand, russia is acting like the responsible good guy, US and its NATO cronies have been acting like a bunch of gangster thugs and schoolyard bullies.
because honestly, what the fuck has Assad ever done to US to deserve this? Guy is a good leader for his people. Oh yah, he refused to knuckled down to the landgrabbing genocidal murdering jews in Paliestine.
All nations, with maybe a couple of exceptions, are that way. How do you get to the top of the human heap? Through corruption and murder and lies and the like. What goes unnoticed is that we are ALL inherently flawed in the same manner; no exceptions.
All would agree that commandments 5-10 would bring peace to the world, but no one can obey them no matter how hard they try and that is only half the standard by which we will be judged. Who can stand be fore God and say I am righteous?
" Who can stand be fore God and say I am righteous? "
Betcha the Neo Nazi Cons will try.
Makes perfect sense, since that was Satan's fatal flaw and both are cut from the same fabric. (Satan & Neo-Con)
Missing the point. False equivalance. Russia is not "intervening" in Syria like the US intervened in Iraq. Russia was invited by the lawful government of Syria to lend a hand.
on another note, when the fuck did Hilary fucking Clinton become such a blood thirsty bitch? did you hear how strident she was at wanting the US to escatate against the Russians? WTF? who is in the right here? Hilary you trying to get us nuked for what exactly? your election as next president? fuck you bitch, you can count ny vote out.
she still takes a boatload of recycled usa dollars from israel. israel wants the usa to fight russia to save it from the bear hug.
They all want to take us to war; we are the sheeple and they are the exceptionals...doesn't matter what nation you "rule", the power of darkness is behind them all.
Q: Why are the US and Israel pushing for WWIII?
Taunting China and poking Putin?
A: the psychopaths have a problem
a) too many people are finding out what liars they are and finding out we are ruled by psychopaths. https://arnielerma.wordpress.com/2015/10/07/the-master-manipulator/
b) the death of the petrodollar means food and staples will go sky high - towards the actual worthlessness of the dollar. And the master manipulator will often use a diversion. WWIII would be a big enough diversion so that 'we the people' dont reach critical mass and put those inside the fed into the Fema camps.
c) Organized crime syndicates will use flatbed shredders to get rid of evidence when necessary. WWIII would like be a big enough shredder, destroy the evidence of their crimes,. Enable them to hide behind the chaos they create.
d) and a relatively small percentage of Americans understand these things
and zh shows its ugly zionazi head by ignoring israel's responsibility in all this. kinda disgusting zh.
Such a foolish & racist comment.
you have been around long enough to know you have to come up with something better than that here. that's more like huffnpuffer quality. raise your standards.
You have been here long enough to recognize the story is not about Israel in any context and that ZH has said much about the atrocities that Israeli leadership has committed.
writing a story about the conflict in the mid east without a single mention of israel's responsibility is foolish and racist.
Some Jew pretending to be Muslim on the Communist News Network says what again? Wait, I don't care, don't tell me.
Correction: "Cartoon Narrative Network", for their is no news in CNN is there? Just saying.
No their isn't
The real Putin ..
https://youtu.be/WSTEVquZT8U
Why this CNN journalist really and truly despises him ..
Who the heck down voted this touching little video?
The CNN trolls, of course!
Remeber when the US imposed economic sanctions on Russia, Iran and the rest of the world if someone even farted much less back up Assad? Sanctions are missing, which tells me the US Empire is now defanged. Just a question of time.
I wouldn't say I "swoon" over Putin however, it is true that his leadership skills tend to point out with crystal clarity the abject failures of our own President.
To the CNN teleprompter reader (and writers). I'll swoon over Putin all I want, now you go back to sucking zio ass for the weekly pittance they print up for you.
Screw CNN. Putin for president.
Rooten for Putin.
Don't see why not,,, the constitution is no longer a stumbling block since citizen of the crown Mary Barry got elected. Love to see him (Putin) in the debates or whatever their called. Just imagine. lol.
Fuck you, Fareed.
Turn off the TV.
People are doing that.
The snake is eating its tale. Even sheeple develop a critical mind for bullshit. They have been watching the dramatization of make-believe all of their lives.
CNN is no longer a worry because their acting is so horribly bad that even the sheeple can detect lies.
Eventually, the sheeple will be swayed en masse for more entertaining broadcasts....... from other parts of the world!
People want live and interactive. The Russians can deliver that!
You are wrong on the alternative source; that is the reason for the SMART phone given and sold to the DUMB.
Don't you love it when the people you respect are chosen for you by the press?
Makes you feel all warm and nauseous inside.
Barry= shoot pirates like fish in a barrel.
Putin= Scuttle pirates boats with them on it.
So what's the difference other then one is an incompetent LYING sack of shit who happens to be black?
Born in India to an Islamic scholar father, per his Wiki bio.
Well I am stunned.
After all that government study at Haaavard and Yale, this muzzy still hasn't figured out the concept free speech? (I mean, in our country, not his.)
ESPECIALLY as a self-proclaimed "journalist"?
Stop brown nosing your masters and go peddle your horsecock back in the old country, Fa-reek.
(CNN used to be a national treasure, but that was a long time ago.
Now it's a national joke.)
Barry, USG are totally incompetent morons - impeach the lot
This idiot thinks this is about Putin, it is not about Putin.
This is about TRUTH.
When I listen to Putin, or Lavrov, or even members of Russia's Parliament, they have features not seen in the Western puppets of the Rothschild war for profit and subjugation by usury banking dynasty:
They MAKE SENSE and TELL THE TRUTH.
They may tell the truth, but only to a degree. You do not get into positions of national leadership without being corrupt to the core, but even the psychopaths tell the truth once in a while. Putin is the lessor of the two evils; like Democrat vs Republican; it is always the lessor of two evils albeit even that line is almost completely blurred.
Take this Fareed, murderer

I've been pimpin' Israel .... without being paid .... that sucks ?
CNN is hiring!
PSGW syndrome .... plastic surgery gone wrong .... I wouldn't make the cut ?
Putin is ex KGB. He is NOT a nice guy. But compared to what we have to hold up as an icon in the USSA? He is looking pretty good. He has not lied in my face lately, more than I can say for the Kenyan.
Well at least President Putin didn't bring up the New World Order as ex CIA George Bush did.
I do love the way we have a news reported demanding his audience think in a certain way, these media types really do need to learn how to report.
Truly it is the land of the free.
jesus,,, when your (U.S.A) diplomacy and actions are as stupid as it gets, Genghis Kahn would be more popular!
Genghis Khan was a world class statesman and strategist.
Obama is a prissy brat.
CNN the LEAST trusted name in news
