Putin attacks the West: "UN resolution is calling for a crusade"

The Russian Prime Minister Putin on Monday criticized the West because of the action in Libya. The resolution of the UN Security Council on Libya was "harmful" and allow "all". You remember, therefore, "a medieval call for a crusade." The Libyan regime is indeed undemocratic, but no one to authorize military intervention in a domestic struggle, even when, as in Libya, will be held with weapons.


Unfortunately, there is now a prevailing train of American politics, to intervene militarily in other countries. First Yugoslavia and Belgrade had been in the series, then Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya just now. The protection of civilians is only a pretext for intervention have been, because in the meantime would be killed civilians.

"Where is the logic there, where the conscience? Neither one nor the other are there, "said Putin. The events in Libya, showed that Russia act properly when it provides its own security military strength. President Dmitry Medvedev criticized Putin for those comments. Comparisons with the Crusades were "inappropriate," Medvedev said, according to the Interfax news agency in Moscow.

Statements such as that promoted by Putin, the clash of cultures. "This can all end a lot worse than it already is. should keep in mind that each ", say Medvedev, Putin criticized the otherwise not directly. Medvedev reiterated, however, that Russia would participate in any operation to enforce the flight ban on Libya and to participate in any way would, if it comes to military operations on the ground.
