The pro-Syrian regime media are busy promoting Putin as the savior of Arabs and the liberator of Palestine. There are some fancfiul account in those dumb media about Putin and his meetings with Bandar that have no connection to reality. But did you all read the text of the speech by Putin this week? He is a most reactionary and a Zionist to boot. He went on like American televangelists talking about the virtues of traditional values and that he now represents them. And he managed to speak about the "security" of Israeli occupation as a goal in the Middle East. This is Putin.
