Syria in 2015

[OUTLAW 09]

Does anyone here at SWJ notice the similarity between the current Vienna talks and the Vienna Conference of 1815??????

Putin talks a lot about a new Yalta and has been able to "globalize" what basically was a regional dispute and sets Russia as the chief negotiator and leader of these talks---he is half way to a new Yalta and no one in the West especially Obama sees this coming??

Nothing are going to come out of these talks just as nothing really came out of the constant Normandy Four talks and Minsk 2 agreements as UAF troops are still being killed and or wounded in a renewal of "Russian attacks" during a so called "ceasefire".

BREAKING: Major powers to meet again on #Syria in two weeks: France - @AFP

Superpowers and regional players trying to resolve what basically is an internal Syrian civil society rebellion without them involved is starting to look like "the 1815 imperialist nations" making decisions again just as they did when setting the boundaries of Syria and Iraq.

Some point out there was no need for the rebels to be present as the Syrian government was not present--BUT they were there--the two powers providing troops, aircraft, money and supplies-- Iran and Russia were there.

So why do two major war participants attend yet the rebels have no voice in their own future they have rebelled for in the first place....??

Does that make sense to anyone?????

ALL TALK.........

Now Iran, Russia, US as well as others have “advisors” - more or less - in the fighting in Syria.

Publicly stating that US will be putting Special Forces advisors in Syria will make it a tougher decision by Russia to bomb FSA.

.@PressSec says US move to send "less than 50" Special Forces to Syria part of strategy "that has shown promise."

Seems the White House has awaken to the fact that they have the TOW on the ground and the FSA is holding their own against Russia/Syria/Iran/Hezbollah.

I've heard from reliable ppl who have contacts with Free Syrian Army who said after Russia witnessed first hand how Assad army fight...not only were they appalled but realised that supporting Assad army is like flogging a dead horse & have reached out to FSA this is linked to the talks where Russia wants to persuade all sides that Assad can remain for at least another 6 months they want to also convince FSA to break away from the rest of the opposition in order to create an internal fracture this article touches on this. How Russia how wants to meet with FSA. After bombing them by the way...

Bunch of non-Syrian leaders trying to decide how to continue imposing Assad on Syrians.

Kerry: what's make these negotiations diff are all parties involved are present.
Ummm except Syrians.

And what makes them the same as all previous attempts is that killing of civilians has not been stopped. Won't succeed until then.

Two points that make me laugh: nationwide ceasefire & elections. The main reasons why these talks will fail.

Sound like the Vienna Conference of 1815......?????

Since Putin stated during a press conference and in front of the public prior to his UN visit that anyone carrying an AK47 and fighting against Assad is a "terrorist" just exactly how is the "ceasefire" to be achieved when the Russian FM states this at 23:16 via the Russian Interfax today......

Terrorist groups won't be eligible for ceasefire agreement in Syria - Lavrov

VIENNA. Oct 30 (Interfax) - A ceasefire agreement in Syria will not be applicable to terrorists, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

"We discussed a ceasefire along with a political process, and a consensus was reached that a ceasefire must be worked out in consultations with the UN and with the understanding that, if a ceasefire is declared, not a single terrorist group will be eligible for this agreement," Lavrov said at a press conference following a multilateral talks on Syria in Vienna on Friday.

So exactly who is Russia/Iran and Hezbollah suppose to do a "ceasefire with"??????

We are now seeing the exact same Ukrainian process being replicated now in Syria--and there is no connection........???

It will be like a Ukrainian truce where Russia can launch offensives whenever they want and blame the other side for breaking it--which they will.

BTW--all the major anti Assad forces have basically rejected any UN deals in the past.......as they left Assad in power.

WHEN a nation state supports the genocidal campaign of a dictator are they not actually "terrorists" themselves??????

These are the same exact demands made by Russia in eastern Ukraine and there is no connection.....?

10/30 21:59 Lavrov: Obama's decision to send task force to Syria hasn't changed Russia's position on legitimately opposing terrorism

AND Russia is not supporting a proxy war.......? Current offensive is a Russian/Iranian/Hezbollah combined offensive--that is not a proxy war.
