Yesterday, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, posted him opinion on the "events surrounding Syria" in The New York Times. He began by talking about the United Nations saying that the reason that it doesn't fail like the League of Nations, is because it enforces its own laws. However he says that if it does not, it will lose its effectiveness. He also stated that Russia wants to prevent conflict in Syria. He acknowledges the fact that chemical weapons were used, however he says that a war would only further destabilize the middle east. He asks the United States to stay out of Syria's internal conflicts. He concludes it assuring the reader the Russia has a strong, good relationship with America. The final line references the equality and Christianity.
This article is extremely relevant because it is a constantly changing issue that is present in America right now. We are on the verge of war, and Russia is taking a firm stance on the issue. I am not sure how I feel on the issue, however I feel informed on it. It angers me how Putin wrote about Americas foreign policy. Sometimes I think the Russian President is stuck in the Cold War.
