I am sharing this Guardian article, Vladimir Putin bids for major world role as his forces move into Syria , not because I agree with all that it says but to point out that this news source is still riding the wrong horse in the Ukraine stakes.

What’s Good For The Goose…
“In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter,” said Vladimir Putin recently on CBS '60 Minutes'.

"Russian vetoes are putting UN security council's legitimacy at risk", says US. Well, they would say that wouldn't they? Ever since 1976, when the US turned 200 years old, they have been suffering from the terrible twosies.
