You watch too much CNN if you think Putin is some evil mastermind who wants to take over the world.

[QUOTE=MillySoose;46156900]American support of Iraq went the same way and they didn't have to deal with western-backed rebels like Syria for three years.[/QUOTE] Ok? Still doesn't show the support of Putin to Syria nor the prevention of war you were talking about.

[editline]5th October 2014[/editline] Now where did I say this, you need to show me.[/QUOTE] Here's an article [quote] [url]http://www.worldcrunch.com/syria-crisis/putin-039-s-diplomatic-victory-on-syria-will-do-little-to-stop-the-war/syria-russia-putin-chemical-weapons-obama/c13s13412/#.VDF2hRbXR1Y[/url] Since the beginning of the clashes in 2011 between the Syrian army, which is loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, and the armed opposition, Russia has used all of its power to prevent an international intervention, including blocking a UN Security Council resolution condemning the actions of the Syrian regime. But after the attack near Damascus at the end of August in which Washington accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons against civilians, it looked like the Syrian crisis was going to proceed without Moscow’s participation. U.S. President Barack Obama announced his readiness to punish the regime of Bashar Al-Assad, and turned to Congress to request permission to carry out war operations. But during the recent G20 summit in St. Petersburg, President Vladimir Putin and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov suggested an alternative — a plan to establish international control over Syria’s chemical weapons. According to Kommersant sources, there are four central steps to this plan. The first step: Syria will join the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). Secondly, Syria will declare all of the locations where it either stores or produces chemical weapons. Third, it will allow OPCW inspectors into all of those locations, and lastly, it will determine, with the input of the OPCW inspectors, how to destroy the chemical weapons stockpiles.[/quote] Sure I made some assumptions, but this is a common view where I live.

Why does anyone give the Nobel any credence whatsoever? Meaningless nonsense.

Nobel peace prize is kind of a joke anyways, prizes in science and such? Hell yes.

Everyone but Putin should be given a Peace Prize simply for "Not Being Putin"

[QUOTE=Mech Bgum;46157238]Every time I find it funny how you guys think that Putin has some kind of despotic authority here in Russia. He's just playing a part.[/QUOTE] He's playing his part by having despotic authority !

[QUOTE=Mech Bgum;46157274]He's playing having despotic authority, but comparing him to Stalin or Hitler is unfair, because he's fake and a puppet.[/QUOTE] Well yeah comparing him to Stalin and Hitler is stupid but that's Godwin law for you.

[QUOTE=LobsterPastry;46157165]Everyone but Putin should be given a Peace Prize simply for "Not Being Putin"[/QUOTE] That would be one hell of a Nobel peace price ceremony.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;46157485]That would be one hell of a Nobel peace price ceremony.[/QUOTE] Well it would go in my curricula just under my Time's Person of The Year award winning in 2006.

[QUOTE=deltasquid;46156057]Oh hey cool, a report from before ISIS and Russia stole the spotlights.[/QUOTE] That's the sad thing is that you're right; most people have fallen for the wave of propaganda against Mr. Putin's legitimate actions in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. What people need to understand is that if you are opposed to the atrocities America committed in Iraq or Libya you must necessarily be in favor of Russia's actions to reassert it's sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. Only with credible counterbalances and a global multipolarity can America's warlike instincts be tamed. If you oppose the efforts of rising powers to dismantle the current World order then you are giving tacit approval to the evils that have been made possible by that world order.

There is absolutely, certainly, completely undoubtedly, uncontestably and undisputably not a single person on this entire blue planet more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Tsar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin the Great and the Generous.

[QUOTE=LobsterPastry;46157165]Everyone but Putin should be given a Peace Prize simply for "Not Being Putin"[/QUOTE] Didn't Obama get one mostly for not being Bush?

The peace nobel prize means literally nothing. It's the one nobel prize where you don't actually have to do anything or prove that you've done anything, all it takes is for a bunch of old people to agree with you r positions and you get the prize. Honestly it should be removed. It means nothing and basically only shits over the rest of the nobel prizes by being so trash. [editline]6th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=ScumBunny;46163722]Didn't Obama get one mostly for not being Bush?[/QUOTE] Obama got one for being a black president. By the time of the ceremony he had done nothing at all, since he just got into office.
