This situation seems to be getting dumber by the second.
France has previously been at least semi-reasonable. I mean, relative to the rest of the West. But now they’re accusing Russia of “war crimes.”
What about the terrorist cannibals the West funds?
Vladimir Putin has cancelled a trip to Paris next week after the French government accused Russian and Syrian government forces of committing war crimes in Aleppo, amid a deepening diplomatic rift over the conflict there.
“The president has decided to cancel this visit,” Dmitry Peskov, Mr Putin’s spokesman, said on Tuesday.
“From the very start of his exchanges with his French colleague, President Putin noted that he is ready to visit Paris when it is comfortable for President Hollande. So we’ll wait for when that comfortable time comes,” he added.
Mr Putin had been due to visit Paris on October 19 to open a new Russian Orthodox cathedral and visit a Russian art exhibition in the French capital.
French diplomatic sources said the Kremlin pulled out after Mr Hollande refused to discuss anything at a planned bilateral meeting other than the Syrian crisis.
“There were contacts between the Kremlin and the Elysee this morning to offer to Putin a working visit on Syria, but excluding all other events that President Hollande could have taken part in,” a source told Reuters.
On Monday Mr Hollande said he had not yet decided whether to host Mr Putin, saying that pro-government forces in Syria troops had committed a “war crime” in the city of Aleppo with Russian support.
“I asked myself the question… Is it useful? Is it necessary? Can it be a way of exerting pressure? Can we get him to stop what he is doing with the Syrian regime?” Mr Hollande said in a television interview.
Jean-Marc Ayrault, the French foreign minister, said on Monday that France would ask prosecutors at the International Criminal Court in the Hague to consider an investigation into suspected Syrian and Russian war crimes.
Mr Ayrault visited Moscow last week for talks with Sergei Lavrov, his Russian counterpart, in an attempt to win support at the UN for a French draft resolution for a ceasefire in Aleppo.
Russia vetoed the French resolution on Saturday, putting forward its own alternative resolution.
It marked the fifth time Russia has used its veto to block UN action to end the war in Syria.
Meanwhile, Russia is refusing to back down at all, instead raising the stakes.

Russian senators have ratified an agreement that allows permanent deployment of the country’s air force in Syria, solidifying Moscow’s projection of power in the Middle East.
One hundred and fifty-eight Russian senators thrust their support behind the permanent air force at the Syrian base in Khmeimim during the Wednesday vote, with one senator abstaining.
“Russia’s Air Force group will be located in Syria only for defense purposes and does not target third countries,” Viktor Ozerov, chair of the Defense Committee in the Federation Council, told RIA Novosti after the vote.
Ozerov added the decision marks Russia’s “substantial input” into the international effort to stabilize the situation in Syria.
“I believe we should consider [the treaty] in a context of global issues and talk about a new quality of Russia’s positioning, not only in Syria and the Middle East, but in the world,” Frants Klintsevich, deputy chair of the upper house’s Committee for Defense and Security, said in a statement.
“We have orders of magnitude fewer military facilities in other countries than others do, especially NATO members. It’s a drop in the ocean,” he added.
Last Friday the State Duma voted unanimously to ratify the treaty.
The treaty was signed on August 26, 2015 in Damascus and provides the legal grounds for the ongoing Russian operation in Syria.
According to the document, the Russian Air Force will act on the orders of its commander and in compliance with the Syrian authorities.
“Weapons, ammunition, equipment and materials necessary to perform the tasks of the Russian aviation group to ensure the safety and life of its personnel will be imported into Syria free of charge,” the documents says.
It adds that Russian personnel will be guaranteed immunity, as it would be the case with a diplomatic mission.
“I believe we should consider [the treaty] in a context of global issues and talk about a new quality of Russia’s positioning not only in Syria and the Middle East but in the world,” Frants Kilntsevich, deputy chair of the upper chamber responsible for defense and security, said in a statement.
The official start of the Russian military operation in the Syrian Arab Republic was September 20, 2015, although construction works and relocation of military hardware to the Khmeimim airbase were apparent weeks before that.
The operation is logistically the most difficult that Russia has conducted in modern history, with dozens of ships transporting supplies across the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
Russia deployed its warplanes and support troops to Syria in response to a request by Damascus. The stated goal was to prevent terrorist forces from overwhelming the Syrian Army, which would likely have resulted in massive purges of ethnic and religious minorities and turned the entire country into a hotbed of terrorism, potentially threatening Russia.
Are we really going to fight WWIII to protect ISIS?
