Here is the perfect counterbalance to Putin's actions....
REMEMBER 2014 Obama stated publicly....."we will judge Putin on his actions not his words"......well the above is his actions and killing civilians is his goal namely the total destruction Grozny style of the anti Assad opposition and he is getting massive help from Obama along the way.
NOW this is the US response.....yesterday
U.S. says working on 'specific initiatives' to de-escalate Syrian violence

BUT WAIT...Kerry stated over and over they have a PLAN B if the Cessation of Hostilities failed....IT has failed and failed badly so instead of a PLAN B we have only more words....this time...."Specific Initiatives"..
HOPE he has checked in with Putin for Putin's approval.......
Just as in eastern Ukraine with the totally failed Minsk 2 agreement which Putin demands Ukraine fulfill all 11 points and his mercenaries and troops have yet to fulfill a single point YET Kerry and Obama state the "ceasefire is largely holding".......
