PUTIN BELITTLES BRITAIN BUT FORGETS RUSSIA'S PAST !

Even at the G20 meeting in Moscow the real might and weight of countrries is not always evident or appreciated.

The USA has Power and Wealth and a reputation of the way it has used these in the past.

The same thing can be said of Britain.  The heritage, the relic, the real testimony, of this little island's past is the existence of the Commonwealth of Nations.  It is composed of free Nations and Colonies all over the World, which respect the values of freedom, democracy and self determination. 

If Mr Putin would reflect on the recent past of the old Soviet Union, of when the Berlin Wall was breached, he must regret that so many of the old satellite members dating from 1945, desperately, then and later, sought their independence !  Mrs Merkel could help him understand.

Is Mr Putin now seeking to "affiliate" Syria with Russian  aid to bolster the Russian Empire ? Does he really need the help of Hitler-like dictators who exterminate their opposition ?  Or will he change his intentions once he has read the report from the UNO investigators ?
