The Russia situation is very tricky to work out, I am assuming all the Russian politics tactics is in preparation for Russia's future goals and ambition, so they are working on their image in advance.
This is a common tactic used throughout world history.
Russia wants to be seen towing the line on certain issues, due to all the different alliances, treaties and etc they have with other countries and organisations eg EU, also Russia needs to also please their own countrymen and its many different supporters with varying agenda and goals.
It is very complicated and tricky to please all different factions.
Russia has a lot of hardliners, therefore that is why Russia's political statements are so polarizing and bipolar, as they need to cater to the international communities standards and at the same time. I step the above speech as a way of pleasing the hardliners for strategic reasons and also to please its allies eg, Syria.
Also Russia political history, there culture, mentality etc helps dictate how the government is run eg, they need to keep peace for certain powerful organizations eg, Russian orthodox church, they need to concede some points and may the wrath of the international community in order to stop the Russian orthodox church from taking over russia completely.
Human rights issues?
The value of this cause has diminished as those who can see the picture clear enough that the best way to hide your political agendas and make them work is to hide it behind human right issues.
It is a very good way in smearing the reputation of your appointment, and this is what some international communities are accusing USA of doing. However they can't say it directly, hence another possible reaon for the speech above.
Weapons of mass destruction and chemical weapons, I totally understand the need for them, so I am, keeping my mouth shout on this one, expect for I saw the chemical weapons being one of the weapons of choice years ago, common sense really form a strategic view of point eg, no nuclear weapons, need to protect our country what should be do.
If people think that these decisions are wrong, then I hope they don't ever go into politics.
The war of words between Russia, Syria and western world on these issues is just going through the motions PR spin. The western world knew this day would come (chemical weapons), but choose tactfully and rightfully to down plan this to the public.
I have learnt never to belief the news and political speil, but to do my own research into these areas to get a better truthful understanding.
I would like to stress, this is a very basic outline of Russian vs international relationship.
Also it is very hard to work out how close the relationship between two country is
eg, If two countries say Russia and USA have been fighting all these years, the citizens of both countries belief that the other countries are evil, then one day these two countries decide to become friends and work together, however due to all the PR spin, the people of these two countries who have beliefed these PR spins will most likely violently protest. How do avoid this, continue thorugh the media in feuding and come up with treaties and partnership plans to slowly gain both countries trust. This generally goes on for years or decades and gets complicated or derailed die to other parties coming into power and etc.
History has been littered with examples like this over and over again.
This post is my way of knocking sense into some idiots and their posts regarding foreign issues littered throughout this site.
Most likely they miss the point and use what I say here to reinforce that all governments are wicked and evil trying to control their citizens majority of the time
Sigh.....
MOTTO: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE
