Well…with the fall of Assad in Syria when the people had just had enough, ole vladdie putin should pay attention since he and assad were such buddies and ruling in just the same way…murdering their political opponents and anyone else who stands in their way…and I laughed a bit when I read that the thousands of Russians stationed in Syria were “scrambling” to get out of the country before assad was tossed…and the big powerful strongman is now hiding just like every deposed dictator does…I wonder if he is hiding in the same kind of “spider hole” that they found hussein in? And I wonder if ole vlad has a few thousand of those for himself…man, I need to start looking at Kos again to get back up to speed about what is going on in the world…good riddance, assad…geez..
