  1. This is from the BBC, and it shows what a filthy country russia is. They bombed the crap out of Syria, slaughtered 1000s with chemical weapons, but they want their Tartus and other bases back.

    “Even though Moscow had supported Bashar al-Assad for nine years and sent him military assistance to shore him up and keep him in power, now that he’s been toppled, Russia is trying to find a dialogue with the new leadership in Syria.

    Russia is now stressing that all along they have wanted a political settlement of this crisis.

    What’s interesting here is that until very recently, the Russian media was referring to what it’s calling the “armed opposition in Syria” as “terrorists”. That word has gone out of reporting here and they are now being called the “armed opposition” or “opposition”.
