Puppet Masters
Russia has set up a first reception center for 500 refugees at a racetrack in the Syrian city of Hama. There are tents, four field kitchens, dining rooms and sanitary facilities, writes the German-speaking newspaper Sputnik.
During the past week, two Russian transport aircraft have flown 80 tons of supplies to the crisis area. The Russian planes have brought 15 tons of food and other supplies.
At the opening of the camp, the governor of the province of Hama, Hassan Omar Haljaf, and representatives of the Syrian military attended.
In his speech, the Governor thanked Russia for its help.
During the four-year war in Syria, more than six million people have lost their homes.
Most have fled to Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. Some have sought asylum in EU countries.
This is of course how it should be done. Giving aid where it's needed. Where the costs are thousand times cheaper than importing refugees to Europe. Where the culture is what they are used to. Where the climate is what they are used to. Again Russia shows more common sense than the West, sorry to say.

To all the other countries out there, Don't give up on Americans. Most of us are just as sick as you at what is coming out of Washington and very much respect what the Russians and Mr. Putin are sacrificing to help the people of Syria. And to them a very real and honest thank you!!!
Not only can Russia help to repatriate Syrian refugees, but in doing so win hearts in Europe as his measure can alleviate the crisis of refugees flowing into countries that don't really want them.
Masterful, I tip my hat to Mr. Putin.
An approach that makes complete sense, and a move that I have respect for. Gerryhiles, well said, and I fully agree.

Quote of the Day
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Since the Yeltsin/Washington-induced tragedy in Russia, under the leadership of Brother Putin and his team, not only has the RF substantially recovered, Russia is now "a light unto the World" in many contexts. This refugee camp is an emblematic example of sharp contrast from the perverse deeds of the Empire of Chaos.
I have taken the trouble to find out all I can about Vladimir Putin and I've listened to him extensively. Thus I've gone from blanket dismissal of just about all politicians, to KNOWING that he is unique and possibly the best leader the World has ever had ... perhaps the first and only one to sincerely put peace and co-operation first, with force as a very last defensive resort.
I'm not inclined to hero-worship, but I come very close where Putin is concerned, especially because he is not a "one man band" and has assembled a very talented consultative team.
He was recently asked if he made all the decisions and he said that though he has the final word on some things, it's always after consultation and he does not like making quick decisions. Instead he likened it to driving a car and waiting to over-take another vehicle until being as sure as possible that it was safe to do so.
On the other hand he likened negotiating with Obama to playing chess with a pigeon, which runs around the board knocking over all the pieces, sh*its on the board, then struts off as though it has won.
The well thought-out, rapid take over of the situation in Syria (and beyond) kinda demonstrates all of my points.
Let's just hope that there are some sane people in Washington!
