Oliver Stone Roots For Putin In Syria

It is a good thing that Russian President Vladimir Putin has started taking action in Syria, according director Oliver Stone an interview with El Mundo.

He also expressed hope that Russia would win in Syria and help restore the Syrian army that would over time defeat the Islamic State (ISIL) terrorist group.

“I believe that the Cold War never ended,” Stone told El Mundo.

Stone underscored that with its military operation in Syria, Russia is protecting its old-time ally in the region. Meanwhile, Washington continues to insist on regime change in Syria, making a “new Hitler” of President Bashar al-Assad.

“Assad is a tough guy. And I know he is to blame for many atrocities against his own people. But he is not better and not worse than tyrants from Saudi Arabia, or Saddam Hussein – at the time when he was our ally and before,” he said.
