And when we thought that we couldn't get any lower, somebody knocked from the bottom. This is beyond belief, US President openly steals the credit for elimination of Syria's chemical weapons. This is from a very long, full of BS, piece in The Atlantic called The Obama's Doctrine:
"Amid the confusion, a deus ex machina appeared in the form of the
Russian president, Vladimir Putin. At the G20 summit in St. Petersburg,
which was held the week after the Syria reversal, Obama pulled Putin
aside, he recalled to me, and told the Russian president “that if he
forced Assad to get rid of the chemical weapons, that that would
eliminate the need for us taking a military strike.” Within weeks,
Kerry, working with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, would
engineer the removal of most of Syria’s chemical-weapons arsenal—a
program whose existence Assad until then had refused to even
acknowledge."
This already created, and rightly so, the shitstorm in Russian mass-media.

Sadly, there is no such law in international relations as "Stolen Valor"--that is when impostors dress themselves in military uniforms, wear combat medals and BS naive people with their "stories" of being heroes. Should such law have existed in international relations Obama would have been accused of breaking it. The surrealism of this whole affair is only topped today with this:
Iran Told to Pay $10.5 Billion to Sept. 11 Kin, Insurers
The nation which had nothing to do with 911 is ordered to pay billions for Saudi crimes. All this defies imagination and are signs of what I do not want to even contemplate now. But I know this feeling.......
