(RINF<\/a>) – It was just a matter of time. Pure evil only goes unchallenged for so long.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Putin\u2019s intervention in Syria represents a major geopolitical shift – a brilliant move, again showing he\u2019s a master chess player, taking the initiative in confronting the scourge of terrorism, what America supports and fosters as part of its dirty game.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maybe Iraq and Central Asia efforts will follow Syria. Putin is now the preeminent world leader, a peace champion, a geopolitical defender of right over wrong, forthrightly opposing US imperialism, the world\u2019s greatest terrorist scourge.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Obama\u2019s deplorable legacy is already written, nominally heading a neocon-infested regime, a criminal gang, waging endless premeditated direct and proxy wars of aggression against nations threatening no one – including homeland police state repression against America\u2019s most vulnerable, serving monied interests exclusively.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Formidable Russian air power combined with rejuvenated Syrian ground forces are systematically routing ISIS and other terrorist groups – destroying their weapons, munitions, facilities and will to fight.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thousands are deserting front line positions – hiding in residential areas or taking refuge cross-border in Turkey. CIA operatives and US special forces use its territory to arm and train terrorist fighters, cutthroat killers, death squads – teaching them to commit atrocities and other war crimes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
US policymakers are defenseless against Russia\u2019s effective strategy – short of launching WW III. Don\u2019t put anything past lunatics infesting Washington. Nothing in their playbook is too extreme. Dirty war without mercy is longstanding US policy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At last it\u2019s being effectively challenged. Washington can do no more than lie about Putin\u2019s just cause striking the wrong targets. The whole world knows otherwise.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Addressing the 133rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), Syrian People\u2019s Assembly Speaker Mohammad Jihad al-Laham said nations rejecting the Russian\/Syrian alliance against terrorism support what the entire free world opposes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Providing aid and comfort to ISIS and other takfiri terrorists shows which side Washington, Israel and their rogue allies back. Laham praised Russia\u2019s effective intervention, striking a formidable blow against terrorism in days, continuing a battle vital to win.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Russia, Syria, Iran and other nations supporting world peace extend their hands to anyone wishing to dialogue responsibly. Washington and allied dark forces want endless conflict, not resolution.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Russia changed the dynamic on the ground, delivering a righteous body blow to US hegemonic ambitions, perhaps getting other \u00a0nations backing the wrong side to rethink their geopolitical agendas, including Western European ones.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Betting on Washington is a losing game going forward. Multi-world polarity is rising. Nothing changes quickly overnight. It took WW II for America to emerge as the world\u2019s sole superpower.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It misused its chance for responsible world leadership. It proved itself a rogue state exceeding history\u2019s worst.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All empires by definition are hegemonic. All plagued by the same dynamic – hubris and arrogance. All meet the same fate, Soviet Russia the last one in 1991.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
America\u2019s turn awaits – hastened by Putin\u2019s righteous, forthright, responsible, effective challenge. Humanity salutes him.<\/div>\n
