It’s not about brown people. It’s cultural thing. I will argue that Russians are at the same level of tribalism and hostility to democracy as Arabs.

Ah yes, the doctrine of inferiority of brown people.

Keep agreeing with me on the boring truths I speak.

Agree; the Arabs do not do ‘democracy’. As TE Lawrence put it: ‘They are a trivbal people ..’ They still are, a feudal people living in the C21.

No surprise you, a Putinite Russian, would strongly endorse Assad, as you spew nonsense – Putin opposed the Arab Spring from the start, as it carried the “risk” of democracy!

You have no more respect for liberal democracy than Assad or Putin, it’s clear. Your “culture” (political views) is and are illiberal, and you’re throwing stones.

It has shown us the complete lack of respect for liberal social democracy in islamic cultures.

Assad does seem to be the least worst when it comes down to a choice between him and IS.

Yes, you needed to bring it before the count.
