Putin New York Times!
Russian President Vladimir Putin appealed to the citizens of the US newspaper New York Times. In his article, he expressed concern that the military intervention in foreign conflicts has become a familiar tactic for the United States.
"Troubling that the military intervention in the internal conflicts of foreign countries has become a common practice for the United States. Is America's long-term interests? I doubt it. Millions of people around the world increasingly see America not a model of democracy, and the country, to rely solely on brute force, to cobble together a coalition under the slogan "whoever is not with us is against us" - says Vladimir Putin.
As an example of failed American intervention Putin leads operations in Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Moreover, adds the president of Russia, such a policy leads to the fact that the authority of the UN is suffering - are influential countries, regardless of the organization's decisions. This should be avoided, says Vladimir Putin. He recalled the fate of the League of Nations, considering that a similar fate awaits and the United Nations, if the powerful countries do not stop to take military action bypassing the UN Security Council sanctions.
Putin said that the United Nations was created with the assistance of the United States and the Soviet Union, who were allies during the Second World War and established the principle of consensus on which to base the work of the Security Council.
"We believe that in today's complex and turbulent world of preservation of law and order - one of the few levers that can keep international relations from sliding into chaos. The law is the law. His performance always necessary - whether anyone likes it or not. Existing international law allows the use of force only in two cases - either in self-defense, or by a decision of the Security Council. Everything else - under the UN Charter is unacceptable, and is qualified as aggression & quot ;, - said Russian President.
In his article, Putin said that the planned attack on Syria, in his opinion, is dangerous because the conflict will go beyond the Syrian territory and will cause a new wave of terrorism. The military action against Syria could also undermine the multilateral efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as lead to a further destabilization of the Middle East and North Africa. "Strike on Syria could unbalance the whole system of international law & quot ;, - Vladimir Putin believes.
He also points out that there are many arguments to prove that the chemical attack of the rebels are. According to Putin is a provocation, which aims to trigger military intervention.
He also questioned the purpose of the Syrian opposition, marking. that among the rebels is a significant number of extremists and supporters of "Al Qaeda". Moreover, adds the president of Russia on the territory of the Syrian mercenaries in case of successful completion of a conflict for them can go to other countries that threatens international security.
Thus, concludes Vladimir Putin, should renounce the use of force and to resolve the Syrian crisis through diplomacy and the continuation of dialogue. Success in this area can lead to an improvement in the atmosphere in the international political arena and become a new stage in relations between Russia and the United States.

Personally, I'm not interested in Putin's words, but the fact of appeal to the Americans in the pages of American newspapers. Try to imagine Obama in Komsomolskaya Pravda. America flexes, comrades!
