Russian President Vladimir Putin is criticizing US policy in an op-ed in the New York TIMES, saying US military action in Syria would hurt civilians¹ and spread conflict. He says a strike would increase violence and unleash² a new wave of terrorism. Putin also suggest the US is being duped by the rebels and that Bashar al-Assad may not be responsible for recent chemical attacks, saying there is every reason to believe it was used not by the Syrian army but by opposition³ forces to provoke intervention⁴ by their powerful foreign patrons. Putin is taking aim at Obama’s claims that America is an exceptional nation, stating it is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional whatever the motivation. We are all different but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings⁵ we must not forget that God created us equal. And the leader of a country who is being accused of use of force to get his way is now criticizing the US. He writes it is alarming that military intervention in internal conflict in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States. One American lawmakers’ reaction on CNN.
