Did Putin Quietly Play The Debt Card Over Syria?

"They are living beyond their means and shifting a part of the weight of their problems to the world economy. They are living like parasites off the global economy and their monopoly of the dollar. If [in America] there is a systemic malfunction, this will affect everyone. Countries like Russia and China hold a significant part of their reserves in American securities. There should be other reserve currencies." – Vladimir Putin in 2011

While I hate to give such praise to a foreign leader, Putin has undoubtedly run rings around the moribund and bureaucratic incompetence of the Laurel and Hardy-styleObama and Kerry team on Syria. Putin diplomatically has the swiftness and stealth of the South's Stonewall Jackson and Germany's Erwin Rommel, probably the two greatest military commanders in world history.

Oh this is such a big loss for the US. Why, if it wasn't for Putin, we could be happily spending a couple more hundred billions, committing a few more brigades to fight in an area we're not wanted, and take care of a few more thousand wounded warriors.

Seems to me the pres. brokered a deal that may clear chem. weapons out of the hands of a country we don't like without committing to a decade long war that costs thousands of lives, even more limbs, and hundreds of billions of dollars. I guess when you have put US interests to the side in favor of a personal battle with Obama, this would seem like a bad situation.

LOL 11:18 Putin's playing Obama and you all in your refusal to admit Obama is incompetent are falling for it. Stay tuned-the chem weapons ain't going anywhere. Can't wait to say "told you so."
