Diplomats concede the Syrian dictator is unlikely to face war crimes charges any time soon.

In what world would you expect the perpetrator to allow their crimes to be investigated?
Assad on denying his regimes atrocities: "You want to make investigations, come to Syria"
Amnesty, HRW & UN monitors are still blocked.
Has anyone noticed that when the WH talks about it's inability to have ground forces confront IS THERE is a distinct lack of a conversation around the FSA---and that extends even into the US MSM which all but ignores the FSA who is daily fighting with and gaining ground on IS while being attacked by Assad's SAA which is really just a Shia mercenary army from Hezbollah, Iraqi Shia militia, Iranian IRGC and Shia fighters from 12 different countries.
BUT not a single thorough well done analysis of the FSA by the US MSM.

The level of trolling is just epic. Syrian foreign ministry: FSA can join Assad's army if it makes some changes. https://twitter.com/RTarabic/status/677808194597572608 …
Iyad El-Baghdadi @iyad_elbaghdadi
The FSA was formed by professional Syrian soldiers who defected from Assad's army. Assad is their first, worst, and forever enemy.
FSA is slowly but steadily winning and why should they then join a genocidal army under leadership of a genocidal dictator?????
FSA and the majority of the anti Assad forces have repeatedly stated to the US---help us eliminate Assad and then we can turn our attention to IS..(a Syrian solution against the IS Syrian problem)..this is actually what needs to be done BUT then why does this WH not do it????

For those SWJ readers who honesty think that Obama did not create the so called Syrian mess......yes he did---wonder if he and or Kerry would like to respond to Assad's recent interview.......?????
Assad on @Nieuwsuur interview:
I was packing my bags to leave but now I stay thanks to Kerry & France [who now say Assad is part of solution especially Kerry after his Moscow visit].

Mr Chance is 'just taking an objective look' at the Russian military and showing his skills in reporting on military-related affairs:Originally Posted by OUTLAW 09
But this one is better:The naval power behind Russia's air war
...if 'not long ago' means 'before Mr. Chance was born', then sure!Not long ago, an international journalist being granted this kind of access to an active Russian warship would have been even more of a rarity.
There follows a series of good jokes:
...But the Kremlin's newfound openness around Russian military activities...
...here I had to stop typing: got stomachache from LOLing......it also underlines just how well the Russians perceive their campaign in Syria is going....
Ah really? Wasn't it Putin who said that the Daesh is spreading since the start of the Russian intervention...?...Russian defense officials say that since the country entered the Syrian conflict at the end of September, in response to a formal request from Syria's government, it has been able to significantly degrade the capabilities of ISIS and other terror groups, including the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front....
And here the it's the cited Russian officer in need of some help:
...sigh... right after filling a report containing such loads of nonsense, I would've borrowed myself a Yarygin pistol from the nearest Russian Navy officer - and committed a suicide..."Every day we show you how Russian aviation is fighting Syrian civilians, destroying infrastructure in Syria."
Principal problem is that Oblabla needs an excuse to remain 'non-committed'.
Therefore, 'there's no FSyA, period'.
If that means one re-deploys parts of the FSyA from eastern to western Turkey (as if Turkey is no sovereign country), and then orders them to cross the border into Kurdish-held enclave in NW Syria, and assaults FSyA-held Azaz - in order to cut-off the insurgent supply-links to Turkey...
...or ignores a big concentration of the Daesh only 15km from Turkish border and never flies even a single air strike on it, in order to enable them to attempt the same (assaulting Azaz), but from east...
...while ordering Erdogan to close the border to Syria in the area of the Azaz-corridor...
...or ignores massaces of Syrian civilians in Azaz area by that Russian air farce (typo is intentional)...
... all methods are OK, because these 'non-existing' FSyA are dickheads that are refusing to 'fight Daesh only', and a major obstacle to Vienna talks: because of them (and because of 'Ottomans' too, of course), Putler is provoking by painting US and French aircraft underway over Syria by his SAMs...
Syria....right now the Russian mercenaries in eastern Ukraine are complaining they have not been receiving pay and or to little pay and the Shia militias in Syria are complaining about nt being paid as well......

BND set to open up shop in Damascus?
Any truth to this?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(From Sputnik)
In a dramatic move, Germany is set to become the first western nation and NATO member to break ranks and begin cooperating with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and set up an intelligence agency branch in Damascus.
Although there has been no official announcement, anonymous sources quoted in the German Bild newspaper, confirmed that the federal government is keen to establish a branch of its Federal Intelligence Service (BND) in Damascus in an effort to counter Daesh, also known as Islamic State (IS).
The source said a decision on the move to renew ties with the Syrian intelligence agencies could be made as early as 2016 and may even involve reopening the German embassy in Damascus, which was closed in February 2012, when the German ambassador was withdrawn.
The BND is reported to be anxious to quickly set up as a so-called Residentur in the Syrian capital, with a view to permanently stationing staff there.
There has been a long history of intelligence-sharing between Berlin and Damascus, which Germany believes is an important partner in the fight against radical Islamists.
Diplomatic relations were broken off in 2012 when, the then Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, expelled the Syrian ambassador from Germany. The German ambassador to Damascus was withdrawn and the embassy closed for safety reasons.
The IS can be defeated in less than a year if the US and its allies stop supporting rebel fighters, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told Dutch NPO2 television in an interview.
The US has sponsored and supplied anti-government rebel fighters, including those who do not fight IS, thereby detracting resource from the Syrian army.
“If the responsible countries take action against the flood and the flowing of terrorists and the logistic support, I can guarantee that it will take less than one year,” Assad said.
More signs that Syrian population is starting to starve.

Theres only so much bombing you can do, Obama says of frustration of Syrians with Assad BUT he ignores this......
Assad comment on reports of torture & HR violations to Dutch TV: "you can pay anyone to tell you any story" "these reports means nothing".

@CrowBat
I beg to differ. The Islamic State, like Al Qaeda before it, is the tip of the spear of Sunni supremacism.
So you're hinting at collective punishment?
Regardless, Iran feels that the Alawites are close enough to be a chess piece in their Thirty Year War.
But do a separate Syria and Iraq even make sense now? Iraqi Sunni Arabs would be better off with their Syrian co-ethnics and co-religionists, and the Alawites would be better off as part of Lebanon...
Turkey, Iran and Iraq.
Jewish minorities throughout Europe played and were played by foreign powers throughout their period of statelessness. They also played and were played by majority populations. This was all part of the game of survival. The end result was tragedy until the creation of Israel.
