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. "
Confusing? Welcome to Cold War 2.0 - the propaganda wars...
