“Representatives of the American special services, and I hope they won’t be angry, but they could have been more professional, and the diplomats as well.”-Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

Chinese news media reporting that Putin has decided to let Snowden stay in Russia, and will not extradite him back to the United States.  Putin said Russia and the U.S. do not have any extradition agreements.

Putin also made several good points (during his Associated Press/Russian TV interview) in why the Obama regime is full of BS regarding the accusations that the Syrian government gassed civilians: “From our viewpoint, it seems absolutely absurd that the armed forces, the regular armed forces, which are on the offensive today and in some areas have encircled the so called rebels and are finishing them off, that in these conditions they would start using forbidden chemical weapons while realizing quite well that it could serve as a pretext for applying sanctions against them, including the use of force. If there are data that the chemical weapons have been used, and used specifically by the regular army, this evidence should be submitted to the UN Security Council. And it ought to be convincing. It shouldn’t be based on some rumors and information obtained by special services through some kind of eavesdropping, some conversations and things like that…..don’t exclude the possibility that the opposition conducted a premeditated provocative action trying to give their sponsors a pretext for military intervention.”

When it comes to intelligence gathering Putin has the experience, he’s a former Soviet KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) officer from the Cold War with the United States.
