President Barack Obama: Russian President Vladimir Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin: Speaking for the first time about the suspected chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21, Putin also questioned whether Syrian government troops should be held responsible. He said it would make no sense for them to carry out such a devastating attack while they were on the offensive, according to 660 News. The United States said Friday that the attack in a rebel-held suburb of Damascus, the Syrian capital, killed 1,429 people, including more than 400 children and MOSCOW Russian President Vladimir Putin urged President Barack Obama on Saturday not to rush into a decision on striking Syria, but to consider whether strikes would help end the violence and be worth the civilian casualties they would inevitably cause. In such conditions, to give a trump card to those who are calling for foreign military intervention is foolish nonsense, Putin said. It defies all logic. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
