The man is a thug and no matter how nice the pressreleases designated to be published in the west may sound, this will not change the fact that Russia is supporting the Syrian goverment and not international law.
Ah, no. There is no international law that says it is illegal to support a government that the west wants to remove for any reason. There is an international law that say attacking a country that doesn't pose a direct threat to you is illegal without UN sanction.
So Russia is supporting international law where international law has something to say. Russia is supporting Syria where international law has nothing to say.
Don't make the mistake of thinking internaitonal law is whatever suits your personal conception of what western sensibility is for the moment.
