PFR, you say you are not part of a group, but you are one of a group of posters who always support each other and who all post from the same far-Left political stance. You yourself have referred to "we" and "us."

The Far Left is anti-Western and I am sure that is why you pretend to believe Putin's lies. He is an enemy of Western liberal democracies.

Robo and Bobad, thank you so much for your support.

On this issue my case is just that the evidence against Assad and Putin is overwhelming, and accepted by every source other than RT.

I also defend Obama's position that use of chemical weapons is a red-line that requires action from us.

Why should any of you object to those views, which unlike yours are actually mainstream, being posted here?
