RE: Tulsi Gabbard Is Driving The MSM Bat Shit Crazy
True, Russia established a naval base at Tartus, Syria in 1971, which is another reason it wanted President Assad to stay in power. But, it wasn't until 2015 when it moved major forces into Syria to help President Assad fight off the various western-backed terrorist factions that were trying to force him out. Russia built the Khmeimim Air Base from which it launched air strikes against ISIS. It also moved warships into the Mediterranean off the coast of Syria, and inserted special forces to assist Syrian government forces. Russia is largely responsible for making ISIS combat ineffective. In the meantime, the US was bombing Syrian infrastructure such as electric power plants, water reservoirs, bridges, and Syrian military installations, killing many civilians, Syrian military personnel, and even some Russian personnel.
Of course, you won't hear any of this on the CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, etc. government propaganda networks. The US hypocrisy about its involvement in Syria (we're there to fight ISIS and keep the American people safe), is so blatant it would truly be hilarious if it wasn't so serious.
Also, it's hard not to note the hypocrisy of someone from a country that has some 700 military bases in countries all over the world complaining that Russia has a military base in a country that they are allied with. Apparently we're the only ones who are allowed to do that.
The US does not have 700 bases in countries all over the world. Educate yourself on that...you slant that to suite your need.
Yeah, it's actually closer to 800 bases. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-number-of-US-military-bases-around-the-world
The number is estimated at over 800 Military bases worldwide, obviously many are unofficial and clandestine installations.
The next closest countries to the united states are: the UK (7), France (5) and Russia (8 - in former Soviet republics).

"But, it wasn't until 2015 when it moved major forces into Syria to help President Assad fight off the various western-backed terrorist factions that were trying to force him out."
I know were you came with that, I know the exact person who started that...its a lie. The Arab Spring was a social media induced rising of peoples -- its been described as a phenomenon of consciousness, a culmination, as the global interactions gained a momentum of its own over the Internet and world wide web..
The ongoing outing of the West's past by a very active reality manufacturing machine in the Kremlin. And a fifth column entrenched in social media has aided that progression. By socialist induced liberalism that keeps wandering further and further to the left. It is a millennial phenomena. The US had nothing to do with it. The US response has always been for human rights, for people and democracy the right to votes, the right to live freely. We don't live the constitution and the bill of rights -- we are it.
The US, represented by Eleanor Roosevelt was among nine other drafters of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights". Incidently there was a Russian drafter in there, It was Alexander Bugomolov -- the declaration was voted into law on Dec 10th 1948.
58 member countries voted on it and the resolution was passed by a vote of 48 in favor, and non against. Eight countries abstained and two did not vote.
The eight abstentions represented the countries of "Union of Soviet Social Republics". Why? Because Soviet Union under Joe Stalin and the Chekists were the worst human rights violators on the planet. Strangely Venezuela, Syria, Iran, and Iraq as well as Afghanistan signed that declaration document of human rights.
The Arab Spring you might say was the fruit of that declaration of human rights and freedom. The seeds had been planted long ago. It was only a matter of time, before people rose up. Strange how the Internet was the right condition for people to talk globally, and it struck that match that started a fire that raged through how many countries, but as usual the propaganda by the those opposed to those losses blamed America. And who loss but Russia, the collapse of the Soviet Union power structure was more to blame than anything. But it raged across the World Wide Web. Tunisia, Egypt, Libya under Gaddafi, Yemen under Ali Abdullah Saleh; Syria under Assad, Bahrain.. despots and cruel dictator fell. Now you blame America, but the truth is still the truth.
The Soviet Union collapsed and the KGB took over and created a kleptocracy that aims to become great again. They are still a human rights abusers as before, with free of speech loss in Russia, with an independent media gone; torture and killings and political assassination of opposition leaders, and they are constantly being charged with violation through the UN.
" [...]Syrian infrastructure such as electric power plants, water reservoirs, bridges, and Syrian military installations, killing many civilians, Syrian military personnel, and even some Russian personnel."
Assad drove his people out...
The US under USAid has spent close to a $billion dollars in an Aid package that has rebuilt schools and put children back in those classroom seats; the US, it has rebuilt water systems and wells and sewer systems; it has rebuilt and refurbished hospitals and clinics, and small businesses; it has got power flowing to needed businesses and school and hospitals, to get Syria back to life.
What has the Russian done, but armed Assad, broken sanctions that outlawed the arming and fueling of his war machine, and put S-400's in Syria. Violating the INF treaty in doing so.
But you can believe what ever you want, we are free here...
Just FYI, the Arab Spring, which led to the unrest in Syria, was also orchestrated by good ole Uncle Sam. https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-us-engineered-arab-spring-the-ngo-raids-in-egypt/28433
Global research is a socialist funded information gathering system. It is run by a known Socialist communist Michel Chossudovsky. Who funds socialist websites and receives funding from such.
It at best is conspiracy theory, at worst blatant anti-NATO, anti American pro-Russian Pro-Putin sentiment.
He has been accused by the NATO information warfare specialists, of playing the role of a troll. And information exists that shows he financial supports it, even though he works in a Canadian University and lives in Canada.
He is a red, his father was A Russian born emigre. He lives and works in Canada but is patriotic to another country, his fathers country Russia, he clearly has a bias and is a conspiracy that has breed conspiracy.
It's a well-worn tactic: When you have no argument, attack the source.
What source? A blogger?... in Thailand on a troll farm. lol
