This intervention in Syria matters. I don’t care about it, to be frank. I never care about it. As long as I have the public support of the Syrian people. That’s my legitimacy; legitimacy comes from the inside, but why? I will tell you why. Because the West used to have puppets. Not independent leaders, or officials in any other country. And that the problem with Putin. They demonize Putin because he can say no, and he wants to be independent. Because the West, and especially the United States, don’t accept partners. They only accept followers. Even Europe is not partner of the United States. That’s to be very frank with you. So, this is their problem with Syria. They need somebody to keep saying yes. Yes– a puppet. Marionette. And so on.

I like how it answered the 'barrell bombs'
A bomb is a bomb its purpose is to kill :ehh:

Great interview

Agreed. He held his own very well. I felt more sympathetic to his cause afterwards. He dismissed the chemical warfare though. I don't believe him on that. He made some great points about the balance of power in the world and how Syria and Russia are not threatening the US but rather trying to check and balance us.

Bashar is a mean sonobytch, and if it was up to him he would gas millions. But he is no longer in charge of these things.
He has Iranian and Russian handlers holding his hands making sure nothing stupid happens.

Syria could be ALOT worse... especially if it was his father in power and not him.

:beli: obviously you don't know anything about B. Assad being in power for over a decade and you didn't see any problems before 2011.
