20. Please don't insult our 'sweetheart'

Oh please come off it.

The topic is international law - none of which is currently being broken by Russia delivering arms to their sanction-free ally Syria.
It's the US administration that is breaking international law by supplying the rebels with arms and training and -the astounding idiocy of it all, really- arming Al Quaida terrorists. They are also -again- openly calling for a coalition willing to break international law. We've seen THAT movie before, no?

Does that make Putin an Angel?
Nope, still an ex-KGB hypocritical asshole... but an ex-KGB hypocritical asshole that is acting within the bounds of international law on this issue. Which was kind of the topic.
