US filmmaker Oliver Stone praises Putin for role in Syria
RIYADH American filmmaker Oliver Stone on Wednesday praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "stabilizing force" in the Middle East, particularly in Syria as Moscow fills a void left by U.S. forces pulling out and leaving behind their Kurdish allies. It wasn't clear whether Stone, who made the documentary "The Putin Interviews," realized that before beginning his remarks.

In the absence of U.S. troops, Russian military patrols have moved into the region between all the warring parties.
