Quotes

"In response to the U S moves Iran is sending 4,000 troops to Syria. So the West, Israel and radical Sunnis versus Shiites. A big regional war" Alexei Pushkov tweeted
...The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) called the action "anti-democratic" and "unprofessional." So the European message to Greece is: "Lay off 4,000 civil service employees this year, but not anyone that we want to protect." That's why it's hard to lay off any civil service employees
At the same time, Alexei Pushkov, head of the foreign policy committee in the lower chamber of the Russian Duma, was even more direct. "Information about the use by Assad of chemical weapons has been fabricated in the same place as the lies about [Saddam] Hussein's weapons of mass destruction" he said on Twitter. "Obama is taking the same path as George Bush."
"In recent months, Russian authorities have intensified their assault on basic freedoms and undermined rule of law. The assault takes many forms. New bills – passed just this week by the country’s lower house of Parliament and expected to be approved in the near future by the upper house of Parliament and signed into law by President Vladimir Putin – restrict the activities of non‐governmental organizations, criminalize public actions “committed to insult the religious feelings of believers” and outlaw activism by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) individuals and their supporters. I would note that the new law criminalizing “propaganda of non‐traditional sexual relations,” passed 436‐0 by the rubber stamp Duma this week, comes as much of the world marks Pride month."
