Bruceyg, IMO you failed that test at the first hurdle!

IMO, that mainstream Australians detest the actions associated with Vladimir Putin is a no brainer. Media coverage of Russian planes bombing within Syria has been as apparent as the nose on your face and those who claim otherwise are doing so for political reasons known only to them.

But what has really gone missing in action is what was NOT done by 'The West' for about three years after reports on the ground in Syria demonstrated that a humanitarian crisis was unfolding - wherein our PM, Tony Abbott, responded by knee-capping the Foreign Aid budget.
