The Odd Couple: Putin and Obama at G20 pledge to resolve Syrian issue

The video is hilarious.

I love Putin's posture. He jus' don't give a fuck.

Reminds me of when Obama vistied Russia and had breakfast with the then-PM Putin. Obama was leaning forward and babbling like a salesman while Putin was just leaning back with a "who's this clown?" expression while sipping his coffee.

It's been a while since you Yanks had an alpha President. I don't know how much better Romney would be in that department, he comes across as a bit of an awkward dandy.

P.S. Does anyone actually want Syria's rebels to take power? Or are "humanitarian" interventionists keen to simply knock out Assad's military and hope for the best?

Compared to someone like Putin, or even someone like Gaddafi, he looks like an insurance agent rather than a decisive world leader. That's a major problem. Romney would be worse. He looks like a goddamn metrosexual.

The last badass American president was George H. W. Bush. I'll give his son points, however, for having Don Rumsfeld in his administration.

Considering the fact that Al-Queda operates within the ranks of the rebels, I'd rather have Assad in power. It's really not America's problem anyway. Let them run the fucking country the way they want. We can't save the whole fucking world. :roll: Plus, the last time I checked, Al-Queda was our enemy. Now it's OK if we're supporting them and their rebel buddies in Syria? I guess we'll forget about the whole 9/11 thing--not a big deal, after all!

Look what happened with Egypt's revolution, too. Ignorant Americans were actually comparing Egypt's revolution to the American revolution. Now the Muslim Brotherhood is running the show over there and they'll go right back to hating us. What's new?

I swear, when I watch the news, sometimes I think I'm tripping on acid.

I hear John McCain wants an air war in Syria. FFS, I never hear that guy talk about anything other than bombing countries into "freedom". It's really un-conservative of him.

Putin speaks English when Putin wants to speak English.

Putin 4 Blofeld.

Watched the whole thing. Jesus, that's weird. Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, and Kevin Costner all clapping along. And Depardieu... Jesus.

Just needs Sean Penn.

I've been saying it over and over for years!!

What the U.S. and the world needs is another Ronald Reagan!

Unfortunately, there are no Real Leaders left in this world like Reagan was.

Men who have the same philosophy as I do:

they do what they want, when they want, how they want;

they don't care about why and when or who they piss off;

nor do they give a damn what the media thinks of them.

A Leader who leads and doesn't follow;

a Leader who makes his own rules instead of following rules;

a Leader who believes rules are meant to be broken.

It's too bad I can't be President.

He was the only guy there who could sing "Blueberry Hill" (with hot Russian broads behind him) and also kill someone with his bare hands.

Yeah, we'd all sleep easy if you had the nuclear codes.

You could become prime minister of your native Italy though. Berlusconi would be proud of your Reign of Titties.

Bunga bunga time!
