8. I'm not wrong - FB and other sites have been filled with RW memes idolizing Putin

for about 2 years now. Some mouthpieces on FOX only flip-flopped when the GOPs 'strategist' class saw a way to twist the conflict into a "Romney was right" narrative, while many of the dumbed down base are still having their cartoon fun lusting after shirtless Putin riding a bear.

BTW - I am fully aware of Lavrov's efforts with Kerry and how some of the public rhetoric is good cop-bad cop when the two have been mostly on the same page since even before Kerry was confirmed as SoS. I was paying attention to Kerry's efforts to prevent Bush's move to invade Syria since 2005, when GOP and many Dem hawks were signaling support for widening the invasion. Syria and Iran were the goal targets.
