listen to lavrov this week end... he never addressed the issue :

russia welcome by syrian shia regime, good to kill sunnis and kurds
usa welcome by ukrainian gov, not good, not okay not legitimate.

russian believe to be able to decide what is good and what is legitimate... this will not work.

where i find them the most pathetic is when they praised gaddafi or sadam... how such good guys... it only reflect who they really are... dead meat.
