    ‏@USEmbassySyria #SecKerry: We'll know in the next few days who is serious & who is not. That has always been the intention of the diplomatic process.

    Word for word exactly what he used as the argument to force the HNC to Geneva AND here is the key ALMOST exactly what he is forcing the Ukraine to do in the US pressure on Ukraine to commit to unilateral appeasement moves ALL designed by Kerry and Obama to "save Putin's face"......
    THIS is a clear and concise example of just how bad the Obama WH has gotten AND how bad they are getting caught in their own spun web of lies......

    Obama and Kerry now have virtually no creditability in the entire ME and it is sinking fast in the eastern Ukraine.....where there has been major attacks over the last two months...YET Kerry stated after a visit to Putin...with "efforts and some good faith" we can lift the Russian sanctions..

    Kerry trolls as badly as does the Russian FM Lavrov.....both lie constantly and think the social media does not catch it...MSM does not notice anything anyway....

    There is no US leadership either in Syria and or eastern Ukraine outside of Tweets and press conferences....

    A serious question has been raising it's ugly head on social media since the failure of the Geneva talks and the over 1000 Russian air strikes and the major ground offensive largely attacking the anti Assad opposition forces and the "alleged Kerry pressure on the HNC"...exactly as he has been doing on Ukraine.....

    Is the US Obama and Kerry "successful Syrian strategy" ACTUALLY the same strategy being followed by Assad/Putin and Khamenei?????

    The destruction of any anti Assad opposition and leaving basically IS in "peace".....

    Jaysh al-Islam seems destroyed attacking armours then massacred the infantry around Brig 39 #EastGhouta @aboasssem92

    First loud and clear message from Jaysh al-Islam new leader after Zahran Alloush killed by Russians.

    Regime losses from offensive on Tal Kurdi & Tal Sawan from Brig 39 up to 50 so far + T72 tank & a BMP says JaI spokesman @islamalloush0

    NOTICE virtually the entire western MSM did not carry anything on the facts mentioned below..why is that????

    Not a single MSM article on just how is it that IS the avoed enemy that Russia went into Syria to utterly destroy is working hand in hand with the Russian military in full support to Assad.....not a single MSM article of this??

    During the N #Aleppo offensive:
    - not a single Russian bomb hit #ISIS
    - not a single ISIS attack hit #Assad's front

    Sometimes silence does one well....seems Kerry has not heard this saying...

    Does he really believe anyone in the ME is listening to this farce of a comment.....there are no humanitarian discussions and or ceasefire talks even via back channel .....the last UN aid convoy was not allowed into the Sunni town by Hezbollah THAT was agreed to by Assad.....

    The only solution Kerry has been pushing is the destruction of the anti Assad opposition the same strategy as that of Assad and Putin...thus the HNC and KSA walked.......simple as that...so why does he have a hard time stating he "failed at Geneva"...and blaming others???

    BUT WAIT did not Obama "blame others" when he stated our Syrian strategy is working...they just do not understand it so we need more "messaging"......sounds to me like they are blaming us for not "getting it".....

    Let's see there was the Obama CW red line, then there was that famous Obama statement...."we will judge Putin on his actions not his words" and then there were those comments by Kerry condemning starvation and the targeting of civilians by Assad/Putin .....BUT these are only words...has there been a single "ACTION"..to back up these "words"......

    Kissinger's idea to cede a Russian sphere of influence to Putin is similar to his pitch to Bush 41 in Dec 88 w Reagan leaving. Amazing.

    Ah.....via Kissinger Putin is attempting to achieve his much dreamed about "new Yalta".......


    Henry Kissinger: "The momentum of global upheaval has outstripped the capacities of statesmanship."
    http://bit.ly/20tvOik
    So is now even Kissinger moving to the Putin view of a "new Yalta".............?

    HOW much of this upheaval has in fact been created by the unilateral appeasement moves by Obama and Kerry as they retrench the US foreign policy......

    Logical consequence of incompetence.

    Namely, by all the thousands of troops, all the possible supplies, and that (incompetent, undertrained, aud underequipped) VKS in their back... nothing of this is making any of involved IRGC, Hezbollah, Russian, and regime commanders competent'.

    Mind that majority of them have reached their positions for personal connections and loyalty - just not competence.

    ...and that their troops are getting 2-4 weeks of training on average...

    ...and that they're facing no 'rag tag insurgency of teachers, pharmacists, farmers' etc., but battle-hardened insurgents led by professional officers with four years of combat experience - and especially: officers finally free from stupid incompetence of Assadists and their allies.

    As long as all of this doesn't change, the IRGC, its puppets and allies in Syria are going to continue experiencing such catastrophes, regardless how many victories are they claiming.

    Default The waiting coalition

    I refer to the very mixed bag of twenty willing nations ready to act in Syria, against ISIS; notably Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Others named by CNN earlier were: Brunei, Malaysia, Morocco, Qatar, Sudan and Jordan.They areready to act IF the USA is in command, hardly a likely prospect.

    This leaves aside several of the coalition are rather busy in the Yemen, so what forces can be released? Might the Saudis be renting their coalition?

    Hope Obama and Kerry have taken notice of this ........

    FM Muallem makes it official: Assad & ISIS negotiated a settlement in Hajar Aswad, Damascus (ceasefire, relocation) basically the Syrian regime is prepared to negotiate with ISIS but not with the Syrian opposition. That says a lot.


    BUT WAIT did not Putin state at the UNGA he was going to destroy IS.......?????

    Appears Russia Today the mainline Russian info media outlet 100% owned by the Russian government is running wild again with lies.........

    RT says U.S. + Russia run a joint air drill in Syria
    http://bit.ly/20P1MCp

    RT also says U.S. SOF are "human shields for terrorists," so …

    Nir Rosen was virtually outsourced for the UN's "ceasefire" plan. WH really had no idea what he was up to?

    Especially since the Obama WH is known for their micromanagement.....
