The\u00a0vilification\u00a0of Vladimir Putin in the media makes us\u00a0blind to the good he does.<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/375\/2015\/08\/Is-Putin-planning.png\")

Unlike the US, which supports failed rebel groups in Syria who are killing one another, the Russian government wants a peaceful resolution of the Syrian Conflict. The\u00a0hysterically anti-Russian media avoids mentioning this and instead focuses\u00a0all mention of Russia on anti-Russian sanctions and Russia’s stake in the Ukrainian Civil War. A war that, unlike the US who support only\u00a0weak and failed actors when interfering in conflicts around the world, Russia\u00a0has the\u00a0advantage in.<\/strong><\/p>\nDue to the failure to remove Bashar al-Assad’s government from power in Syria, the US has switched its objective\u00a0to trying to divide Syria up into governed and ungoverned spaces that will simply deny Assad power over at least some of his country. Whether thousands of people are beheaded by extremists in those territories does not bother the US government, which is\u00a0still driven by its grudge against Assad and its desire to feel a sense of redemption for\u00a0wasted billions of dollars on “rebel” groups by at least reducing Assad’s\u00a0power a little.<\/p>\n
The Russians want no division of Syria and have even more reasons to thwart whatever the Americans want, especially now that the US is in an unofficially declared “new Cold War” with Russia with the anti-Russia sanctions. The Russian government’s desire for a political resolution of the Syrian crisis, rather than America’s\u00a0non-solution of dividing the country among terrorist groups and separatist enclaves at war with themselves and surrounding countries, is driven by Russia’s genuine interest in preventing the spread of terrorism to Eurasia. We are blinded to the good work done by the Russian government to end the crisis in Syria, without it even being covered in our media, because the goose-stepping alliance of television channels and governments wants only to portray Putin as a villain.<\/p>\n
Russia helped to dismantle Assad’s chemical weapons, and was a key partner in the nuclear deal with Iran. Deeds\u00a0that embarrassed the vindictive US government, which wanted to instead bomb Assad (based on scant evidence as it was with Libya and Iraq before), and was one of the core reasons for Obama’s\u00a0fallout with Putin.<\/p>\n
