    Incidentally, when are the MH17 investigation results out?

    It's been 15 months now and still the initial prognosis hasn't been updated.
    In fact it hasn't been updated since a week after the plane went down.

    I thought this report was due to be released (and to implicate Putin in the downing of the plane) this month...October.

    I'm surprised that there hasn't been much fanfare leading up to the release of the evidence proving Putin shot down the plane.

    Does anyone have a date?

    That's quite ironic considering the considerable degree of but-hurt he's been displaying over the incident. Perhaps he's jealous the Turks aren't soothing his discomfort in similar fashion.

    Putin is now a supporter of ISIS. The US have had to stop air support for anti ISIS rebels because Russian SAM 17 sites have been painting US planes which indicates an imminent missile launch is possible. So having stopped US air support, the russians have now started bombing those same rebels who were fighting ISIS.

    The US is wondering what to do. I would have thought doing exactly what the Turks did in the face of being given the bird by the Russians is what they should do.

    'Oh - they were 'YOUR' SAM sites? Awfully sorry about that but we thought they had fallen into the hands of ISIS as they were targeting our planes.'

    Just when you thought Putin couldn't be a bigger dick on the world stage if he tried, he manages to do just that.

    ISIS (America's creation) were selling their oil to Turkey and then comes Russia and bombs the **** out of the convoy of oil trucks on their way to sunni turkey. Thanks to America's petrodollar safeguarding Europe is now been invaded by predominantly muslim men from Africa to Bangladesh. Well done Obama, didn't think you could get worse than Bush but there you go.

    How is the weather in St Petersburg today?

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/11656043/My-life-as-a-pro-Putin-propagandist-in-Russias-secret-troll-factory.html
    American war planes have reportedly launched a strike on a gathering of ISIS leaders, critically wounding their leader.
    180 ISIS Fighters Killed in Iraq by Kurds and American Airstrikes
    US says airstrikes have killed 350 Isis fighters in western Iraq city Ramadi
    US airstrikes kill the leader of ISIS in Libya
    The US military said on Thursday that it had killed the “financial minister” of Isis and two other senior officials.
    Of the more than 20,000 ISIS fighters said to have been killed in the U.S.-led air campaign

    Even Russia's ally Assad concedes the US is attacking ISIS:
    Bashar Assad Says U.S. Airstrikes Make ISIS Stronger

    Now if you do a google news search for the words 'Russian airstrikes killed' the word that comes back prominantly in the results is 'cvillians', not ISIS.

    Which really isn't surprising given Russia is just doing Assad's bidding.

    Not to mention the incursions into Greek airspace which is practically a daily occurrence. Another case of ''do as we say, not as we do''. The Greeks would be happy enough to see Turkey getting spanked by Russia.. They wouldn't be rushing to help, that's for sure.

    Putin must have been cringing watching Obama crying for the cameras, as he plans to introduce limp-wristed gun control measures. Yet ironically, his country is the world's biggest exporter of arms & dealer of death on the planet.

    You see comrade, when you're criticising an article, it helps to give some sort of reasoning.

    A Syrian "activist" has reported that Russia is now targeting cute puppies and kittens according to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights.
    Why is Putin a bad man?

    looks like the russians don't care for your slander of putin.

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-putin-poll-idUSKCN0W512D

    rock on Vlad I say
    Public support for Vladimir Putin to serve another term as president has hit its highest level in four years, a survey by a state-run pollster showed on Thursday.

    Seventy-four percent of Russians would vote to re-elect Putin as president, according to a poll by VTsIOM.

    Putin dominates state media in Russia and is widely expected to contest the next presidential election in 2018. If he won, it would be his fourth term as president.

    He has capitalized on conflicts in Ukraine and Syria to boost his popularity and his message that Russia is again a force to be reckoned with on the world stage has gone down well with voters.

    VTsIOM said Putin's approval ratings had risen among many social groups, including young people. It also showed his support levels had risen sharply in recent years; in 2012 in the same polling series only 40 percent of Russians said they would vote for the Russian leader.

    "Even among those who think the president has not yet fulfilled many of his pre-election promises, 70 percent are willing to support Putin," VTsIOM said in a statement published on its website.

    An independent Russian pollster, the Levada Center, gives Putin similar ratings. Liberal opposition politicians say the figures are unfairly boosted by the fact that state TV, where most Russians get their news, affords Putin blanket and favorable coverage while largely ignoring them.

    Should Putin win the 2018 election, he would have the right to serve until 2024. By that stage he would be over 70 years old and come up against a constitutional limit barring him from serving more than two consecutive terms.

    After his first two terms as president, Putin in 2008 made way for his protege Dmitry Medvedev to serve as president before returning to the Kremlin himself in 2012.

    That's all very well but the opinions of Russians mean nothing.
    The west, meaning you know who, has decided that Putin is a bad man (bombing puppies and kittens) and has to go! He even does naughty things without getting permission from you know who!
