AMMAN/LONDON (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin, arriving in Britain ahead of an international summit set to be dominated by disagreement over the U.S. decision to send weapons to Syria's rebels, said the West must not arm fighters who eat human flesh.
After meeting Cameron in London, Putin said Russia wanted to create the conditions for a resolution of the conflict.
"One does not really need to support the people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies, eat their intestines in front of the public and cameras," Putin said.
"Are these the people you want to support? Are they the ones you want to supply with weapons? Then this probably has little relation to the humanitarian values preached in Europe for hundreds of years."
The incident Putin referred to was most likely that of a rebel commander filmed last month cutting into the torso of a dead soldier and biting into a piece of one of his organs.
After meeting Putin, Britain's Cameron said the divide between Russia and the West over Syria could be bridged, although they disagreed about who was at fault.
"What I take from our conversation today is that we can overcome these differences if we recognize that we share some fundamental aims: to end the conflict, to stop Syria breaking apart, to let the Syrian people decide who governs them and to take the fight to the extremists and defeat them.".....snip~
Putin says West arming Syrian rebels who eat human flesh
It would appear that the Russians are willing to back down despite Putin's Words. What a bunch of Wuss-asses. They have the upper hand. They have troops and Ships in Syria. They could have punched major holes in the Sunnis' plans while sticking it to the Europeans and us at the same time. No way The Brits or France nor us would make a move if Russia was to throw up defenses.
IMO if I was the Russians. I would take out Idris and any Command Officers inside Turkey. Teach those Defectors about the Basics of Leading a Rebellion from the back of the Bus. Try getting out in front of their troops and Leading by example. Course this would put a major dent into the West and the Sunnis plans. Moreover there would be nothing any could do if it were to happen. The West would bitch and moan for a while. But then they would move off to other things.
Here the Media says the Russians are furious. Then comes back with Putin saying things can be worked out. If the Russians were actually furious over this. Then actions speak louder than words. Still the reporter shouldn't claim what isn't true.
Typical Russian strategy to support a terrorist government into squeezing the last straw of humanity of their victims, record the inhumanity that was caused from their initial support, and use that against the world "Here are the people you want to help!" I say this method is at least few centuries old.
Good thing you did not buy it with Dardania. We would still be at war with Russian satellites! :O
Putin thinks Hezbollah and Iran are heroes?
Give them a common enemy and see what happens...Now imagine between all these clashes among Muslims some promote a name such as "Muslim Brotherhood!" There is no brotherly cooperation, cohesion, ties as such! What kinda "brotherhood" are we talking about here?

Shia Muslims don't consider Sunnis "real Muslims," and vice versa.

Go ask all of the warring factions how they would respond if Israel full on attacked. Different Muslim sects do see the others as less than, but certainly on a higher scale than your standard non-Muslim infidel. Muslim extremists kill other Muslims around the globe...always have. Doesnt mean they cant be united against a common enemy.Funny link. But the enemy was common before such as the Brits and Russia. I do not see today how better they are cooperating with one another. Much less that there is a "Muslim Brotherhood" that promotes cooperation, unity, cohesion such as "brothers" do, and this surpasses and is beyond other interests such as: nation, borders, political interests, etc, like it promotes itself to be.

Why do you suppose Israel was not only not invited to participate in the 1st or 2nd gulf war and in fact was begged not to respond to Saddams random SCUD attacks?It is not impossible. But highly unlikely IMO.
Seems that writer was a bit premature over the thought that Putin Would bridge the Gap. Not now and not after the G8. Russia stated today. They wont back a NO Fly Zone. Meaning there will be none.

I spent 4 years in the ME. Discussions even with allies were pretty clear. Saddam was seen as a 'wayward son' and they were actually OK with the first gulf war. The coalition forces were viewed as third country nationals brought in to to the dirty work they dont like having to do. But there was a line...only so much and no more.
Like I said...you dont think Muslim brotherhood is real watch how quickly Muslims take sides of religion vs country.
The history channel. Or go to you tube and look up what Muslims think about religion vs country. Or...you know...dont.Ok, where am I suppose to watch this?

The concept of 'Muslim brotherhood' is not a myth. All non Muslims are infidels. If they managed to kill off every non Muslim, they would still kill each other off til they had the right 'sect' of Muslims. But Muslims first. Give them a common enemy.Tssk! That is what you have been telling me all this time? That sometimes in the past Israel was begged not to engage with Saddam for they would then join forces in the name of religion and forsake national interests?
I thought you were telling me how your predict the situation will evolve now compared to sometimes in the past! They are pretty divided today and this is over national interests, hence there is no "Muslim Brotherhood" in the meaning that it intended it to be.
But okay, fine, should a religious antagonist appear there is potential for them to group up together. Firstly I do not see such developments occurring. Secondly I would doubt that they would even then.

"Most"? You believe that...why exactly? And I have news for you...the vast majority of Christians believe they are right and everyone else is going to Hell, just as the vast majority of Jews believe they are right, etc etc etc. You however feel the kneejerk need to defend 'most' Muslims. I wonder...aside from what you read and choose to believe do you KNOW most Muslims? Do you even associate with a significant number of them or have the first clue what they truly believe?Most Muslems don't believe such garbage.
You've turned the exception into the rule.
Its like accusing all Jews of believing all non-Jews will become their slaves when the Messiah comes, just because a small minority of Jews believe this.
Do you at all study history?Your paragraph is conflicting. How can you put "Muslim Brotherhood" and them killing each other at the same paragraph and implicitly state consistency? What sort of a "Brotherhood" is this for them to want to kill one another until the real Muslim (according to themselves of course) is left standing?
Secondly, what or who would benefit from a united Islamist front? Why do you want to give them a common enemy and unite them for what?
Thirdly, even your "Common enemy" solution to unite all Muslims is a temporary one and dependent on how long the "Common enemy" is alive and non-threatening (or not standing). How long would that stand? For which benefit again?
