IT´S PUTIN´S FIGHT TOO! By Jiri and Leni Valenta
As in 1941 WE ARE AT WAR! While Obama still dithers, Baghdad´s fall is imminent. Like the Nazis, ISIS is massacring POWs. Next, it´s Christians & Jews & in M E, U.S. & Russia. Along with Senator John McCaine, we would like to see the whole NSC team fired and General Petraeus brought back to organize the defense of Baghdad.
While Russian President Putin may see this distraction as an opportunity to further destabilize the Ukraine, he is making a huge mistake. One always has to analyze what is the major threat. There is no doubt that Islamist terrorism is threatening both our nations and is metastasizing at a very fast rate. Putin should make peace with Poroshenko. Clearly they can come to some accord, particularly as Poroshenko is willing to observe the rights of Russian speakers and is open to some decentralization. .
It is extremely urgent that Mr. Putin recognize what is happening and that the Russian heartland itself is threatened from the direction of Chechnya. We are facing an enemy just as brutal and sinister as the Nazis in 1941. We should be fighting them together!
