Russia? They didn't gain anything at all. It was the IRGC that did so: even the offensive in Lattakia came forward only after deployment of IRGC and Hezbollah contingents there.

Fred Hof: "The #Assad regime makes Syria safe for terrorist groups that threaten the United States and its allies."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/in-theory/wp/2016/09/29/the-islamic-state-and-assad-two-sides-of-the-same-coin/?utm_term=.5fb64e2614cf


Political extremism in Syria — the kind that combines irreligious sectarianism in the name of Islam with transnational terrorism — depends on Bashar al-Assad clinging to power. The Islamic State certainly must be beaten militarily, a long process that is painfully overdue. But Assad’s political survival strategy of mass homicide has made Syria fertile ground for vicious forms of criminality distinct from his own. To defeat the Islamic State, we must end the regime’s mass murder: diplomatically if possible, militarily if necessary.

The Assad regime is a cause and enabler of the Islamic State. In the early 2000s, it helped midwife al-Qaeda in Iraq, the direct ancestor of the Islamic State, by escorting foreign fighters across Syria and into Iraq. By pursuing a civilian-centric terrorism agenda since 2011 and alienating Sunni Muslims in Syria and around the globe, the regime has boosted the terrorist group’s recruiting and created a territorial vacuum for the ersatz caliphate to fill. The Islamic State is Assad’s enemy of choice, and Assad is the group’s enemy of choice as well — someone whose depredations fall overwhelmingly on Sunni Muslims it hopes to recruit.

President Obama#first acknowledged this symbiotic relationship in November 2014 at the Group of 20 summit in Australia. He recognizes that Assad’s war on civilians sustains the Islamic State, but he has never exacted a military price for mass murder. Instead the United States’ strategy in Syria today ineffectively divides the problem into two loosely connected pieces: in the West, watching mass murder while entreating Russia to stop it; in the East, pursuing the Islamic State indecisively with airplanes and a Kurdish militia.
No one advocates invading and occupying Syria. Still, the next president should approach Syria in a way consistent with ground truth: The rampant criminality of the Assad regime makes Syria safe for terrorist groups that threaten the United States and its allies.

If talks with Russia fail to stop regime atrocities, the president — our current one or the next — should seek, select and apply modest military means (such as cruise missile strikes and effective antiaircraft weapons for vetted rebels) to exact a painful price for wanton attacks on hospitals, schools, markets and mosques. Russia and Iran will not like it, but they can prevent it by getting their client out of the mass murder business. No one knows where Syria or Assad will be politically in a year, or three, or five. But we do know this: Nothing politically good can happen in Syria with civilians on the bull’s-eye. Assad’s free ride for mass murder must end for Syria’s future to begin.

The Islamic State must be killed militarily and kept from coming back to life, but the missing ingredient has been a sufficiently capable ground force. For military victory over the Islamic State to be sealed, Washington and its allies must prepare their partners in the Syrian opposition to govern liberated areas. All of this is painfully and gratuitously overdue. A regional and European coalition of the willing under U.S. leadership should have been organized right after the Paris attacks of November 2015.

Protecting civilians, beating the Islamic State and organizing decent governance for eastern Syria should be the pillars of a strategy to stabilize Syria, to set the stage for real peace talks and to stop the hemorrhaging of terrified humanity from a country ravaged mercilessly by two sides of the same terrorist coin: the Islamic State#and Assad.

US needs to back an alternate rebel structure, stop trying to put Arabs in PYD-dominated SDF, to liberate Raqqa.

http://www.thenational.ae/opinion/comment/different-strategies-needed-to-win-against-isil-in-syria-and-iraq



The fight against ISIL is approaching a new milestone with Syrian rebels backed by Turkey and the United States-led coalition closing in on Dabiq, a town in rural Aleppo, which is central to the group’s propaganda.
The battle to liberate the town is expected to begin this week. Dabiq’s takeover would not just serve as a symbolic blow to the group’s core claims, but it would be a fitting win before the major battles to retake Mosul and Raqqa, ISIL’s two capitals in Iraq and Syria.

The battle to retake the areas the group controlled in Syria in 2014 is still in its early stages, unlike the one in Iraq, where the extremist group has lost more than 50 per cent of its territory. So, Washington’s next moves will shape the direction of the battle in Syria, where only 25 per cent of ISIL-controlled areas have been liberated.

The Syrian battle is further complicated by the absence of a central government with which the US can coordinate. The lack of a friendly government partner also means that one ISIL-controlled province, namely Deir Ezzor, will require special treatment because of the regime’s presence there. Sources say that the US has even shelved any plan for an offensive in Deir Ezzor altogether as a result, especially after the erroneous strike on regime soldiers there on September 17.

Given this reality, the chances for the campaign in Syria hinge on Washington’s ability to organise the various forces fighting the group. In theory, the anti-ISIL battles should be straightforward in Syria. The operation to clear up the pockets the group controls in rural Aleppo will pave the way for an offensive to retake Raqqa starting from the northern parts.
But the problem is that the US approach has a number of flaws that American officials do not seem to grasp. One that has near-term implications centres on the collaboration with Turkey, which is far more critical to the anti-ISIL fight there than it is in Iraq.

More importantly, American officials still fail to come up with a formula for a Kurdish-Arab cooperation that does not involve the support of one side’s political agenda at the expense of the other. This failure has often led to a cart before the horse situation, with US officials complaining that rebel forces were not serious about fighting ISIL, even though the US policy had led to such disinclination.

American officials often complain that Turkey has demonstrably failed to provide adequate rebel forces to fight against ISIL despite promises. Officials wonder that if Turkey could not get large numbers to fight under its own banner, how could it help recruit approximately 13,000 fighters to fight in Raqqa? This situation further reinforced Washington’s desire to work with the Kurds, including to retake Raqqa.

But rebels say America’s refusal to support a full-fledged Arab force to fight against ISIL is the cause of this hurdle. This force should not be limited to fighting, but it should also have a political umbrella that can operate and govern under the support of the US-backed coalition, as does the Kurdish Democratic Union Party.

The US has shown no commitment to such a project, which rebels believe should not be beholden or part of a Kurdish ambition in any way. American officials fail to grasp this factor and continue to push for Arab representation within the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces. A stand-alone Arab coalition will signal to the rebels that they have a sustainable stake in heavier involvement in the fight against ISIL, which operates in their areas after it expelled them in 2014.

BREAKING: ‘Deal with the devil’: US ‘ready to ally with terror’ to overthrow Assad – Russia Foreign Ministry

https://www.rt.com/news/361502-syria-us-devil-terrorists/


Moscow has accused Washington of sabotaging the Syria ceasefire deal, saying that the US will be responsible for any new terror attacks in Syria, as by taking no action against Al-Nusra terrorists it shows it is ready “to make a deal with the devil.”

Washington “has never exerted any real pressure on Jabhat Al-Nusra, done nothing for delineation to succeed and taken no action against its militants,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday, following the US decision to suspend cooperation on Syria.

Besides failing to deliver on its part of the deal, the US were hampering Moscow’s efforts to stop the terrorists, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, calling Washington’s decision a “reflection” of the Obama administration’s inability to meet the key condition for Russia-US cooperation on the Syrian peace process.

The way the situation has been unraveling in Syria in the past few weeks has made Moscow doubt what Washington’s real intentions are, according to the ministry.

“We are becoming more convinced that in a pursuit of a much desired regime change in Damascus, Washington is ready to ‘make a deal with the devil’,” the Foreign Ministry said. For the sake of ousting Syrian President Bashar Assad, the US appears to be ready to “forge an alliance with hardened terrorists, dreaming of turning back the course of history.”

While Jabhat Al-Nusra, a designated terrorist organization, has been known as an Al-Qaeda affiliate for many years, Washington “is not in a hurry to separate US-oriented anti-government forces from it,” Moscow points out. On the contrary, even though Al-Nusra has never been a part of any peace deal, Washington “covers it with the shield of opposition groups which formally confirmed their participation in the cessation of hostilities.”

Meanwhile, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, who on Monday assumed the post of the President of the UN Security Council, expressed his concerns over the halt in Russia-US cooperation in Syria.
At the same time, he insisted that the current setback in Syria will not lead to another “Cold War” between Moscow and Washington.
“I think you are dramatizing the nature of our disagreements with the US,” Churkin said, replying to a reporter at a press conference, adding that there’s still a chance to revive the cooperation.
“I hope there will not be a new Cold War,” he added.

For now, the main objective in Syria for Russia is to thwart Al-Nusra’s latest offensive in Aleppo, which has seen increasing number of terrorist attacks in the wake of the ceasefire’s collapse.

"In the process of the past few weeks, after the September 9 arrangements were reached, we have seen numerous violations by Nusra and others cooperating with Nusra of the cessation of hostilities regime”, Churkin said, adding that about 1.5 million people are currently stand the risk of being besieged by its militants south of Aleppo.

“We must make sure that Nusra’s influence is not going to continue to spread,” he stressed, describing the situation in Aleppo as “extremely dramatic.”

On a broader scale, Russia’s long-term aim in the region is to “throw the terrorists out” of Iraq and Syria, as it is the only way to secure the lives of civilians, living there in constant danger from extremists.

To mitigate the impact of one of the terrorists’ most powerful weapons, propaganda, Russia has submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council designed “to counter terrorist ideology and the ideology of violent extremism,” Churkin said.

NOTE:....the Russians are now setting the following narrative into play for their info warfare...if we fail in out attempts to destroy IS and JaN...."it is because the US stabbed us in the back".....NOT because our own military completely failed.

When the administration is talking about the formidable impediment of the UNSC, you know they're not serious.

The CIA and the Joint Staff have said that the fall of Aleppo [to #Assad] would undermine America's counterterrorism goals in #Syria."

"Administration officials [say] that Obama is no more willing to commit U.S. military force inside #Syria than he was previously".

Worth noting that #Russia has *nothing* that could concretely prevent US military action in #Syria.

Al-Qaeda in Syria and American Policy

By#Kyle Orton#(@KyleWOrton) on October 4, 2016



The evidence of collaboration between al-Qaeda and Iran was novel and sketchy at the time. Nearly two decades later it is not so. In 1992, al-Qaeda and Iran came to an agreement to collaborate against the West. This deal was personally sealed between Imad Mughniyeh, an officer of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the military leader of its Lebanese proxy, and Bin Ladin in Sudan. Al-Qaeda members were trained in the Bekaa by Hizballah and training provided#by Iran was key in making the strikes in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam possible. Up to half of the 9/11 death pilots passed through Iran and the attack’s operational planner, Khalid Shaykh Muhammad, lived in Iran for long stretches of the 1990s. In 2011, the U.S. exposed the “secret deal” between Iran and al-Qaeda that allows an extensive#al-Qaeda network to shelter from U.S. drones on Iranian soil and feeds al-Qaeda’s global branches, including in Syria, where Tehran is supposedly “fighting terrorists” like al-Qaeda. The 9/11 Commission recommended “further investigation” into the Islamic Republic’s dealings with al-Qaeda; sadly that never occurred.

Ahmad Mabruk was there at the creation with al-Qaeda, became a JFS official in #Syria, struck down with a drone...AS he was allegedly going to meet Iranian intelligence....is what is being said on the ground.

VP Biden has been as has Kerry been "selling" these moves in order to help the incoming new US President....WHEN in reality ALL know in DC that Obama wants something out of both eastern Ukraine and Syria that can make his legacy look great.....

September Attack on UN Aid Convoy in Syria Well-Prepared Hoax, Investigators Say


The September 19 attack on a UN humanitarian convoy in Aleppo was "a well-prepared hoax", according to a group of independent military experts attached to the International Syria Support Group (ISSG).

On September 19, a UN-Syrian Arab Red Crescent convoy carrying humanitarian aid for the Aleppo province was hit by a strike, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). As a result, 18 of 31 trucks were destroyed and at least 21 individuals were killed.
According to the report seen by RIA Novosti, the experts studied the video recording made by the Russian drones accompanying the convoy, where "a car with a trailer clearly carrying a large-caliber mortar" can be seen. They also noted that al-Nusra Front-controlled militants were active in the region, when the convoy was attacked. "Urm al-Kubra is located in the region controlled by al-Nusra [Front] militants, moreover, this territory is noted as a region with high concentration of militants.

If you consider reports of September 19, you will see that al-Nusra militants carried out a large-scale offensive supported by mass artillery fire, tanks and volley fire rocket systems in that very region at that time," the report read. The experts analyzed the footage and photos of the attack in the media and came to a conclusion that "the attack" was staged: in particular, the cabin of one of the trucks was not affected and "has no trace of a close explosion — traces of debris or holes, only the cargo damaged." Furthermore, the edges of the holes in damaged trucks are covered with rust. The road surface was also in perfect condition, while according to the experts it would have been damaged if it were hit by an airstrike. The degree of damage contradicts the airstrike version: the blast in a confined space would at least have overturned the trucks with cargo while explosions would have left shards in the walls of nearby buildings.

But judging by the photos, the trucks only lost its canvas, their tires remained intact, the cardboard boxes remained in their places, and the nearby buildings have no cracks. The experts were also puzzled over the crater allegedly left by the purported airstrike. "The central part of the crater pulls objects in instead of scattering them around. Is it a black hole?" "In summary of this preliminary analysis, we can conclude that we are dealing with a well-prepared staged or ‘fake’ attack," the report reads.

A diplomatic source told RIA Novosti that this report was sent to representatives with the United States who "expressed their disagreement with the conclusions."

Western countries have accused Russia and Syria of the attack. Moscow has refuted the allegations and proposed to carry out an investigation of the incident, but the Russian proposal has not been met with interest by the West. The Russian Defense Ministry, commenting on the attack, said that a US Predator drone operated near Urum al-Kubra area north of Aleppo at the time of the deadly attack and had left the area only a half an hour after it.

Qatar sees foreign intervention 'changing equation' of Syria war



Outside powers need to act fast to protect Syrians because foreign military backing for the government is "changing the equation" of the war, Qatar's foreign minister said on Wednesday.

For 14 days, a Russian-backed Syrian government offensive has been underway to capture eastern Aleppo and crush the last urban stronghold of a revolt against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that began in 2011.

The collapse of the latest Syria ceasefire has heightened the possibility that Gulf states including Saudi Arabia and Qatar - backers of Syrian rebels - might arm the opposition with shoulder-fired missiles to defend themselves against Syrian and Russian warplanes, U.S. officials have said.

Qatar's foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, a member of the royal family, told a news conference in Singapore on Wednesday that the Friends of Syria group - an alliance of mainly Western and Gulf Arab countries who oppose Assad - had since February "stopped and minimized" its supply of weapons to rebels.

"On the other hand, the regime is continuing to receive supply from its allies, and that is what is changing the equation right now, and we hope that we can do something to protect them," al-Thani said in answer to a question.

"We are very much concerned that the international community doesn’t have a Plan B for the Syrian conflict and the bombing and the shelling of the Syrians will continue. We need to act very fast to protect the Syrian people."

The United States maintains that negotiations are the only way to end the violence in Syria. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who announced on Monday that Washington was suspending talks with Moscow due to Russia's role in the offensive, has said peace efforts must carry on.

But frustration with Washington has intensified, raising the possibility that Gulf allies or Turkey will no longer continue to follow the U.S. lead or will turn a blind eye to wealthy individuals looking to supply man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, to opposition groups.

Baghdad bridles at Turkey's military presence, warns of 'regional war'
Western nations, mindful of how weapons spread from Libya after its Western-backed revolt in 2011 to unstable nations such as Mali, say arming rebels is risky because it is hard to tell militants from moderates in a disorganized array.

Gulf Arabs say they know Islamist armed groups better and blame disorganization on a lack of outside support and training.

NOTE:...Qatar might be now signaling the US that MANPADS are on their way in as the US has totally failed to protect the Syrian civilian population from Assad and Putin air strikes.....

Less than 48 hours after suspending US/Russian talks


Secretary of State John Kerry discussed the situation in Syria with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday, less than 48 hours after the State Department announced a suspension in “bilateral channels with Russia” related to reducing the violence in Syria.

The Wednesday phone call between the two diplomats, first disclosed by the Russian Foreign Ministry, raised immediate questions about whether the United States was already backtracking on its threat to cut off ties with Moscow.

In acknowledging the phone call, State Department spokesman Mark Toner defended the high-level contact. “They did talk about the situation on the ground in Syria,” he said, “my argument back to you would be it would be irresponsible for Secretary Kerry not to raise what’s happening in Syria and make our concerns clear about what’s happening there.”

Toner faced stiff push back from reporters seeking to understand the practical extent of the suspension of ties. “You tell the Russians one thing, and then you turn around and don’t follow through on it,” Associated Press reporter Matt Lee said.

Toner said the suspension only applied to a diplomatic channel setup to sustain a cessation of hostilities in the country. Such a suspension apparently did not preclude talks between Kerry and Lavrov on Syria who have remained in near constant contact throughout the deadly civil war.

“While that particular bilateral channel has been suspended we’re not going to just walk away from what’s happening in Syria,” Toner said.

The State Department announced the halting of talks with Russia on Monday after a relentless bombing campaign by Russian and Syrian jets on the besieged city of Aleppo.

“This is not a decision that was taken lightly,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said at the time.

The U.S. also cancelled plans to share military intelligence to target the Islamic State and the al Qaeda affiliate Nusra Front.

Republicans, such as Sen. John McCain of Arizona, continue to call for military action against the Syrian government but U.S. officials have warned that regime change in Damascus could empower Sunni extremist groups and lead to even more chaos in the country.

Give the Nobel peace Prize to the SCD...The Guardian....
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/05/the-guardian-view-on-the-nobel-peace-prize-give-it-to-syrias-white-helmets?CMP=share_btn_tw


When a bomb comes crashing down on a building, leaving devastation in its wake, they rush towards the site instead of towards shelters. With their bare hands, they search for people in the rubble. They try to pull out survivors who are shocked and wounded, tormented by fear and, not least, the knowledge that civilians long ago stopped being collateral damage, and are precisely the target in this war. These rescuers are Syria’s White Helmets, a group of 3,000 local volunteers. Once tailors or carpenters or students or engineers, they are now dedicated to saving lives when fighter jets and helicopters drop barrel bombs, cluster explosives, phosphorus bombs and chlorine shells on neighbourhoods or hospitals. As the Nobel committee prepares to announce this year’s peace prize, the White Helmets deserve#attention.

In Syria’s maelstrom of horrors, it is hard to find anything that points to respect for basic humanitarian principles or even human dignity. The Assad regime has unleashed untold levels of violence on the Syrian population and is being actively assisted by Russia’s military intervention as well as by Iranian-connected ground forces. Jihadi groups have grown, often filling voids left by less well-armed and well-resourced moderates. Civilians are trapped in the middle. In Aleppo, 300,000 people are exposed to a relentless barrage of airstrikes. The Syrian government and Russia now seem intent on crushing Aleppo, the opposition’s last stronghold, before a new American president takes office. Diplomacy has entirely collapsed, with acrimonious exchanges in the UN replacing attempts at a ceasefire.

This is the backdrop against which the White Helmets operate – a western-funded Syrian search-and-rescue organisation whose members put their lives at great risk to save civilians, receiving only a monthly stipend of $150. Danger is made worse by the fact those who bomb routinely resort to double-tap strikes, with fighter jets dropping ordnance and then returning to target rescue teams.

These volunteers know all too well that great power politics, alongside a tyrant’s brutal policies, have brought Syria to the abyss. They entertain no illusions that genuine measures will be taken swiftly to end massacres on a scale unprecedented in decades. The White Helmets do what they can, locally. It’s the very least the west can do to back them. No one should be surprised that Bashar al-Assad has compared these humanitarian activists to terrorists: that’s what he calls anyone who opposes him.

What the White Helmets accomplish may seem like a drop in the ocean, but what they represent is immense: resilience and bravery in the face of barbarism. They are a constant reminder that those targeted by Russia and the Assad regime’s massive bombing campaign in Aleppo are civilians, not terrorists. And they show that individual acts of courage can go a long way to fight indifference.

They also embody a spirit of civic resistance – upholding some of the ideals of the peaceful, popular uprising of 2011 and exemplifying courage and solidarity in the face of state-sponsored terror. The international community has utterly failed Syrians, by failing to protect them from mass atrocities. No Nobel peace prize can erase that. But because symbols can be powerful, the White Helmets should be recognised with#this award.

'Is the CSTO Preparing for Peacekeeping in Syria?' (Eurasianet):
http://www.eurasianet.org/node/80791


Russia's post-Soviet security bloc, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, has held discussions with the United Nations about taking part in UN peacekeeping missions, an effort analysts said was likely made with Syria in mind.

"We have agreed to prepare a roadmap on the involvement of CSTO peacekeepers in UN peacekeeping operations," said#CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha last month in New York after meeting with UN officials there. The UN "has already proposed the steps that we need to take and there is quite an active dialogue going on," he said.

The CSTO has been developing a peacekeeping structure for years, and held its first peacekeeping exercise in Kazakhstan in 2012. (The CSTO includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, in addition to Russia.)#

Lately Bordyuzha has begun to talk more about taking part in UN peacekeeping missions, in particular. At the most recent CSTO peacekeeping exercises, in Belarus in August, the group drilled for the first time on a scenario that envisaged a UN-mandated peacekeeping operation.

This blog has been skeptical about the possibility of that happening, but#Jaïr van der Lijn, a peacekeeping expert at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, says that it is in fact a real possibility. "At the UN, they would love to have some kind of cooperation like this with the CSTO," he told

The Bug Pit in an interview. In recent years the UN has placed a greater emphasis on cooperating with regional blocs as it struggles to find enough soldiers to staff peacekeeping missions. The African Union, European Union, and NATO have all cooperated on UN peacekeeping operations in various capacities, and#van der Lijn said he didn't see any obstacle to the CSTO doing something similar.

Van der Lijn noted that already two years ago the CSTO was discussing the possibility of deploying to UN peacekeeping missions in Africa. He discussed that with various officials in Moscow, and came away with the impression that it was largely "a#public relations offensive by the CSTO."#

At the CSTO Secretariat itself, people were very enthusiastic about deploying to Africa, he said.#"But when you talked to people at the [Ministry of Foreign Affairs], for example, they would say we don't really have any interest in deploying in Africa," he said. "And the [Ministry of Defense] would be even more against it -- we don't have any interests in Africa, we don't want to deploy there."
The UN, meanwhile, was interested but skeptical of the CSTO"s willingness to carry through,#van der Lijn said. He recalls UN officials asking for his assessment.#"'So, what do you know about the efforts of the CSTO, we can't really figure it out. We've had some talks with them but it hasn't really moved forward? So what is really their intention?' -- that was the question I got." (The UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations did not respond to requests for comment from The Bug Pit.)

So what might account for the CSTO's redoubled efforts with the UN?
The development of the war in Syria, in which Russia has played an increasingly large role, has probably changed Moscow's calculation,#van der Lijn said:#"It wouldn't surprise me that once there is a peace agreement, or something to be done in Syria, that the government of Syria and the Russians would say 'we need to have Russian forces here to guarantee the security of the government.' And it could be the CSTO."

It would be one thing for Russia to deploy peacekeepers to Syria, as Russia now sees Syria (in contrast to Africa) as a key interest. Whether any of the other CSTO countries would go along, however, is an entirely different question. Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has categorically ruled out sending troops to fight anywhere abroad, and other CSTO members have been less vocal but have evinced little interest in getting involved with Russia's increasingly ambitious military endeavors.

The CSTO has, over the years, occasionally#discussed deploying to Syria, but has usually done so by denying that it had any plans to do so. Last year, Bordyuzha was asked about the potential involvement of CSTO allies in Russia's operations in Syria, and he responded: "There is no need yet."

At the conclusion of August's peacekeeping exercises, Bordyuzha referred vaguely to the "world situation" which was heightening the military importance of the CSTO:#"Political influence is the main instrument of the organization. But the way the [world] situation is developing suggests just the opposite: the increase in the role of the military component of the organization."

At a press conference in September Bordyuzha explicitly denied plans to deploy to Syria, though with some wiggle room: "To speak now about forming some sort of collective forces group and send it there [to Syria] for a fight with terrorism, simply doesn't make sense." The key word may be "now." Meanwhile, Bordyuzha is set to step down from his CSTO post this month in favor of an Armenian, with uncertain consequences for the group's priorities. Stay tuned.

WASHINGTON — In a sharp deterioration of relations, the U.S. on Monday suspended diplomatic contacts with Russia over Syria, while Moscow halted cooperation on a joint program for disposal of weapons-grade plutonium.
The U.S. move followed a threat last week from Secretary of State John Kerry after new Russian and Syrian attacks on the city of Aleppo. The State Department said Russia had not lived up to the terms of an agreement last month to restore the cease-fire and ensure sustained deliveries of humanitarian aid to besieged cities.
"This is not a decision that was taken lightly," State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. "Unfortunately, Russia failed to live up to its own commitments ... and was also either unwilling or unable to ensure Syrian regime adherence to the arrangements to which Moscow agreed."

John Kerry Sends Regrets
Obama officials start to wash their hands of the Syrian catastrophe.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/john-kerry-sends-regrets-1475708899

Oct. 5, 2016 7:08 p.m. ET



Much of the city of Aleppo lies in ruins after days of airstrikes by Russian and Assad regime forces, and buried in the wreckage is whatever is left of the Obama Administration’s Syria policy. If it’s any consolation to the 275,000 souls trapped in the city, John Kerry has regrets.

That much is clear from a leaked recording of a conversation the Secretary of State had with a group of Syrian civilians engaged in humanitarian work during last month’s U.N. General Assembly. Mr. Kerry complained that “the Russians don’t care about international law, and we do.” He noted that “a lot of Americans don’t believe that we should be fighting and sending young Americans over to die in another country.”

Above all, he lamented that his diplomatic efforts to end Syria’s war were never backed by a credible threat of American military strikes. “I think you’re looking at three people, four people in the Administration who have all argued for use of force, and I lost the argument,” Mr. Kerry said.

The Secretary is right that President Obama doomed whatever chances the U.S. had of shaping a better outcome in Syria when Mr. Obama made clear that nothing, including chemical attacks against civilians, could induce him to deploy even modest force to ground Bashar Assad’s air force or establish no-fly/no-drive zones.

Then again, it’s hard to credit Mr. Kerry as the scorned voice of reason within the Administration when, until last week, he was the most vocal advocate of making common cause with Moscow in Syria.

In May 2015 Mr. Kerry first broke the informal diplomatic quarantine the U.S. had imposed on Russia after it granted Edward Snowden asylum in 2013 and invaded Ukraine the following year. Last month Mr. Kerry was pushing the Pentagon, over the objections of Defense Secretary Ash Carter, to share targeting intelligence with Russia to grease a new cease-fire deal. As with a similar cease-fire Mr. Kerry negotiated earlier this year, Russia violated it within days.

It’s also worth remembering that, until the Syrian revolt began in 2011, Assad had no better friend in Washington than then-Senator Kerry, who praised the dictator as a man of his word who had been “very generous with me.” In his conversation last month, Mr. Kerry continued to press for a plan in which Assad would participate in national elections overseen by the U.N. “under the strictest standards.” That goes further than even President Obama, whose stated policy remains that Assad must go.

Mr. Kerry also seems to doubt there’s any use in arming rebels, lest it fuel another cycle of violence. “The problem is that, you know, you get, quote, enforcers in there and then everybody ups the ante, right?” he said. “Russia puts in more; Iran puts in more; Hezbollah is there more and Nusra more; and Saudi Arabia and Turkey put all their surrogate money in, and you all are destroyed.” As for targeting Assad’s allies in Hezbollah, he insisted the U.S. had no quarrel with the terrorist group. “Hezbollah is not plotting against us.”

In other words, Mr. Kerry claims to regret not having the option of military force, not that he would ever use it against the very people who are now besieging Aleppo. Meanwhile, he rues that Russia and its friends in Syria are indifferent to international law, but he’s prepared to believe they’ll abide by the results of an election they’ll also help oversee.

Following the discussion, a Syrian who had sat in on the conversation summed up the Secretary’s position to the New York Times : “You have to fight for us, but we will not fight for you. How can this be accepted by anyone? It’s unbelievable.” Dishonorable, too.


How pathetic is the current Obama/Rhodes/Kerry WH Syrian FP WHEN a Syrian basically "calls you out as a fraud"??????

Remember the Syrian civil society peacefully in 2011 asked for democracy, the rule of law and good governance THE very same things the US professes to believe in as well AND in return they got genocide, war crimes and starvation....

AND the Obama WH.......did nothing.....

Was entirely inevitable.

With JFS facilitation, most of Jund al-Aqsa’s force left #Saraqeb recently, to the village of Sheikh Mustafa. More went south to #Hama.

Ideological differences & strategic distrust with Jund al-Aqsa essentially resulted in an agreement to minimize direct cooperation.
(AS JaA has not formerly broken away from IS)

The #Hama front was given mainly to a Jund al-Aqsa-lead, while JFS & Ahrar al-Sham assumed preeminence in SW #Aleppo

NOTICE the unique Kerry blackmail signature moves in their pressuring the anti Assad opposition and HNC to basically surrender to the Russian demands contained in Geneva 2 and then this latest Geneva 3 ceasefire....NO different than the US blackmail attempt now with Ukraine.....

Biden, Kerry and Nuland are all attempting to blackmail Ukraine into accepting a so called "Russian proposal" for Minsk 2....basically telling Ukraine to surrender to all Russian demands "IN ODER TO GET A LEGACY WIN FOR OBAMA" before the elections ALL under the guise of making it easy for the incoming US President....

Ukraine is resisting as they know they cannot get the entire Ukrainian civil society to buy in after TWO full years of Russian investigated war and an invasion of eastern Ukraine.....

BUT THE US just keeps on trying to blackmail them......

.@LIGAnet story on Kyiv under DC pressure over Minsk deal coincides with MP @mefimus post. He doesn't name DC though
https://www.facebook.com/Mustafanayy...7866632089766#


DC wants Kyiv to go ahead with elex in occupied Donbas, rewrite Const right after disengagement. No mention of return over border control

If Ukraine succumbs to holding, or rather watching elections in now-occupied-by-Russia Donbass, they will be held at the barrel of a gun.

DC pushes Kyiv to make major concessions to Russia: to amend Minsk deals in order to parade "solution" before elex

CAN any SWJ reader/commenter explain to all of us just WHY the Obama/Rhodes/Kerry WH appears to be working for Putin and trying to force Ukraine into a unilateral non reciprocal move that Russia does not have to do anything on....ALL actions must come from Ukraine WHICH was invaded by Russia.....

So Obama does the dirty work for Putin these days is all one can assume.....
