Give up weapons, Russia urges Syria



Don't know if this is for real or simply a stalling tactic.

Funny thing ... I remember reading somewhere that Assad acquired these chemical weapons to defend his regime against Israel's nukes. Now they may be his undoing.

I just saw this.....Yes. Which leads me to another point Putin understands the System that the world is operating in, not some system the he wishes it would operate in. That is why he is being seen as the adult in the room in the present situation. The UN is our (USA) system...we set it up after WW2. The present administration is trying to subvert that system....not good and Putin understands that and how to work it to his advantage and our disadvantage.
