Bob Costas – pink eye, Pussy Riot, and Communist Putin love

Communist progressive liberal ‘reporters’ in this country don’t just love Obama. They love all foreign Communists, and envy dictators. During NBC’s opening televast of the XXII Winter Olympics in Sochi, Costas, with his pink Eye, and having mentioned Pussy Riot declared his love and appreciation for Vlad Putin. Somehow, Putin is a great peacemaker. Costas and NBC ran a touching video montage about Putin with looked and sounded a lot like something Pravada would have put out. To put it into a little more perspective, it was like watch MSNBC doing a montage of Obama. NBC should should their name to Now Broadcasting Communism.

“Just in the past year, Putin brokered a deal to allow Syria to avoid a U.S. military strike by giving up its chemical weapons,” Costas intoned over pictures of Putin wheeling and dealing on the world stage. “And helped bring Iran to the negotiating table over its nuclear intentions.”

Except, Putin is one of the chief backers of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s regime and the deal he helped broker with the U.S. isn’t fully being implemented. Syria has repeatedly missed deadlines in turning over its chemical weapons stockpile.

But don’t worry: Putin is probably not all that concerned. No one believes Putin brokered the deal because he is a great man of peace who was hoping to lessen the carnage in Syria, where an estimated 130,000 have died since civil war began in 2011 and the Assad regime has used chemical weapons against its own people. Rather, Putin hoped that the deal would take U.S. pressure off Assad so he could crush the rebel insurgency in his country unmolested. And it’s worked. Before the deal, Assad was an international pariah. Putin’s deal helped legitimize him, which is good for Russia since Syria is one of the country’s prime Middle East ally.
