======================
Washington Post:
"The Daily 202: Putin trolls Obama ahead of United Nations showdown"
"Russia, invoking the specter of the Islamic State as an excuse to prop up murderous Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, has deployed hundreds of soldiers..." which Putin denied just last night, while the US admitted a long time ago having "special forces" on the ground in Syria, and funding, arming and trading "moderate" Muslim radicals...
"Ahead of his sit-down with Obama, Putin mocked the failure of U.S. efforts to arm Syrian rebels on “60 Minutes.”"
"Russia further asserted itself in the Middle East this weekend by inking an intelligence-sharing agreement with Iraq. Iran and Syria are also involved. "
"Meanwhile, U.S. officials remain uncertain about Putin’s Syria strategy and confused about how to respond. "

2015-09-28 PUTIN in the US: All countries should respect Ukraine’s sovereignty

2015-09-28 PUTIN in the US: All countries should respect Ukraine’s sovereignty
======================================
Russian President Vladimir Putin told CBS’s ‘60 Minutes', that he knows “for sure” that the US was involved in the ouster of President Yanukovich in 2014.
Speaking to veteran journalist Charlie Rose, Putin said that Russia respects the sovereignty of Ukraine, adding that “at no time in the past, now or in the future has or will Russia take any part in actions aimed at overthrowing the legitimate government.”
He added that Moscow “would like other countries to respect the sovereignty of other states, including Ukraine. Respecting the sovereignty means preventing coups, unconstitutional actions and illegitimate overthrowing of the legitimate government.”
It is “absolutely unacceptable” to address issues through unconstitutional means, he said referring to the coup in Ukraine in February 2014.
The sovereignty of all states, including Ukraine, should be respected, Russian President Vladimir Putin told CBS’s ‘60 Minutes,’ stressing that he knows “for sure” that the US was involved in the ouster of President Yanukovich in 2014.

[עברית להלן]
Dear Mr Ekroni,
I have done some additional editing of the blog post at:
http://inproperinla.blogspot.co.il/2015/08/2015-08-09-israeli-protest-movement.html
You are again invited to contribute to that post and explain your positions on questions, which are central to the struggle against government corruption in Israel in general, corruption of the justice system in particular, and the Roman Zadorov, Rafi Rotem, and Ehud Olmert-Holyland affairs.
I carefully reviewed the writing, and I find there nothing that should be considered defamatory to you.  In case you have specific concerns, I would be happy to hear about them, and I would do my best to address them.
Your refusal to explain your positions on the matters themselves, coupled with the demand to erase the entire blog post, appear an unusual and crude attempt to undermine Freedom of Speech.
Likewise, the threats of legal action by a social protest activist, who refuses to explain his positions relative to corruption of the justice system, raise concerns.
In case you insist on taking legal action, my address for service of records is:
Joseph Zernik, PhD                                                                
PO Box 33407, Tel Aviv
Truly,
Joseph Zernik, PhD

מר עקרוני הנכבד,
ביצעתי היום עריכה נוספת בפוסט בבלוג שבכתובת להלן:
אתה שוב מוזמן לתרום לפוסט, ולהסביר את עמדותיך בנושאים שהם מרכזיים למאבק בשחיתות הממשל בכלל, ושחיתות מערכת המשפט בפרט, וכן לפרשיות רומן זדורוב, רפי רותם, ואהוד אולמרט - הולילנד.
עברתי בזהירות על הכתוב, ואינני רואה בו דבר שהוא בבחינת הוצאת דיבה לגביך.  אולם במקרה שיש לך עדיין טענות ספציפיות, אשמח לשמוע עליהן ואעשה כמיטב יכולתי לתקנן.
סירובך להציג  את עמדותיך בעניינים עצמם, בשילוב עם דרישתך למחוק את הפוסט כולו, נראים כניסיון בוטה ויוצא דופן למנוע את חופש הדיבור.
בדומה, האיומים בתביעה משפטית על ידי פעיל חברתי, המסרב להסביר את עמדותיו בעניין שחיתות מערכת המשפט, מעוררים תהיות.
במידה ואתה מתכוון להגיש תביעה משפטית, כתובתי לצורך המצאת מסמכים היא:
ת"ד 33407, תל-אביב.
בברכה,
דר' יוסף צרניק
