This comment from Vladimir Putin is critically important as it spells out how Moscow views the end of Empire; Interestingly, Putin has declared that for him the point of no return was reached when the USA and its allies at the UNSC and NATO clearly and grossly twisted the intention of the UNSC on Libya and upgraded what should have been a no fly zone to a free-fire zone to attack and bomb Libya [of course, it was pretty darn clear to Putin that the all necessary means to protect civilians of the resolution was an open ended invitation for the AngloZionists to interpret it in any way they wanted; now his says that Russia was lied to in order to not blame Medvedev for walking into a 10 foot wide hole. But that is irrelevant here]. Putin says that from then on he had acquired the conviction that the West could not be negotiated with and had to be simply stopped. Then Syria happened: for the first time since the end of WWII the USA had decided to do something and was stopped by an outside power in the most humiliating way possible. The Russian stance on Syria was an overt challenge to US world hegemony. It was clearly understood as such in Washington and now, following the crisis in the Ukraine, the Russians have openly admitted this. Medvedev was clearly out manouvered in Libya and Putin had no such illusions about Syria. The attack on Syria has always been a staging point for a greater and more dangerous attack on Iran because the Syrian Arab Army has resisted so incredibly well and remained a cohesive force with few defections and huge popular support the U.S. has moved on to Ukraine. If the neocons who are taking their lead from Victoria Nuland think that Ukraine will be a push over they sadly lack any comprehension of Ukrainean/Russian history. They are simply kidding themselves at the worlds peril.
