    IMHO as much as I dislike Erdogan's politics in Turkey you do have to admire his statements on Syria.

    Erdogan: "I can tell you that there is no cease-fire across Syria"
    I think everybody knows.. but they like to live in denials.

    If Russia cannot even comply with Minsk 2 "ceasefire" in eastern Ukraine just why would they adhere to the Syrian CoH agreements........

    In the 2 months of 2016 Ukrainian positions have been shelled over 2500 times leaving 12 Ukrainian servicemen killed & more than 150 wounded

    Russia not in complaince with the release of POWs as part of Minsk 2......
    Russia & proxies obstruct releasing 130 + UAF hostages, subject them to inhuman treatment, torture & threaten them with capital punishment.

    NOTICE the not so subtle Russian disinformation hard at work...through an "unnamed militia commander" they link nicely all FSA brigades to JaN.....Russia neither names the militia commander nor indentifies the militia unit he commanded.....typical for similar info warfare work conducted in eastern Ukraine..

    Russia says Sultan Murad and dozens of other FSA brigades are subsidiaries of Jabhat al-Nusra, citing a militia commander

    THUS they can to bomb every FSA unit in Syria under this very vage and unconfirmed "Propaganda"..........

    Obama and Kerry are truly "standing by"....or why does it seem that a US MSM knows more about Russian negotiation tactics than the entire Obama WH and the 700 Person NSC......????

    "Russia and [Assad] consider the truce as a military tactic, not as a preparatory measure for a political solution"
    http://wpo.st/a1rG1

    EXACTLY as they did with the Minsk 2 Agreement AND yet Obama and Kerry never seem to learn..........

    "The diplomacy shift [by the U.S.] ... essentially brought Washington closer to Moscow's position" on #Syria
    http://reut.rs/1Q7jE

    The U.S. could see the Russian build-up in Syria and did nothing. It will be believed by many that this was deliberate

    U.S. former official on the White House's apparent indecisiveness: "There was this tendency to say, 'We don't know. Let's see'."

    By DEC 2015, U.S.…concluded…Russia had achieved its main goal of stabilizing Assad…and could maintain its operations in Syria for years."

    Now I will become provocative with the following comments.....

    The DoS sets up a CYA Washington based Syrian Coordination Center with a 1-800 Call Center probably based in India for Syrians to call in CoH violations AND then does not tell us just how many Syrians actually took the time out of dodging falling bombs, and artillery shells to CALL DoS in Washington.

    THEN social media literally provides countless actual video recordings of Russian aircraft complete with RED STARS and videos of numerous Assad aircraft and other Russian aircraft bombing in areas that were not under JaN and IS control...HECK one of the civilian killing air strikes was in the middle of EVEN a Russian no strike zone on their own map.....

    THEN we get this from the Obama WH today....WTH is with this Obama WH and Kerry?????

    ARE THEY totally wanting to destroy whatever creditability the US has left in the ME AND worse by their doing nothing they are actually providing Turkey and KSA totally valid reasons to enter Syria just to protect Arab Sunni's from Assad, Russian, Iranian and YES even now US supported genocide.......

    .@PressSec says "too early" to determine responsibility for truce violations in #Syria & calls them "potholes" on road to implementation

    "potholes".....right now there is serious Syria Arab Sunni perception that the US and Russian have done a secret handshake to destroy all Assad opposition forces and to ensure Assad remains in power until 2020.

    IMHO the US is very complicit now in the ongoing Syrian genocide with this dumb use of the term "potholes".....this the height of stupidity....utter stupidity..

    IS this the admission by the Obama WH that the billions spent on the US intel community since 911 HAVE been an utter waste as the US IC cannot even figure out who caused the "potholes"...come on just how stupid does the WH believe the US public is much less the Sunni public and do they really believe the Turks and Saudi's are buying into this "pothole" theory"??.

    Nobody wants to be hasty, do they? Price won't be paid in U.S. lives, after all so what is the hurry as it is really only genocide...what our own US National Security Strategy has defined as a threat to US national security.

    AND what is the cost of a life of a Arab Sunni in the grand scheme of the "Obama standing by ME FP"....."evidently only a potholes worth it appears".......

    Obama and company should not be totally surprised now when Turkey and KSA actually do move into Syria and it will fall back on the US provided argument that they were the only ones that could "protect the potholes".......

    If I was the Ukraine tonight I would be seriously wondering if the US is a valid partner right now with the Obama ever closer relations to Putin and his non linear warfare....IMO I think I would start ducking.......

    .....Obama and Kerry does have the US sliding even deeper into Syria and the US public does not see it coming......

    ‏@mod_russia
    #SYRIA Leadership of Russian and American Coordination Centres held a telephone call within coordination on cease-fire monitoring


    Bit by bit US being sucked into Russian operations in Syria.

    Hey DoS here is another one of those undefined "potholes" being reported right now...wonder if any Syrian Sunni had the time to call or email this Russian air strike into the DoS SCC????

    Russians have attacked Deir Hafir in eastern Rif Aleppo with four missiles from its aircraft.


    Another "pothole" ...man they are all over the place BUT YET the entire US IC cannot figure out what and or who is causing them...sad....really sad.....

    Moments ago, #Russian jets performed two air strikes on civilians in #KhanShaykhoun

    BUT WAIT we have the first Russian admission they are causing the "potholes"......striking just on JaN terrorist groups........BUT WAIT not a single verified JaN group was anywhere close to the actual "potholes"...ONLY FSA Units.....


    BUT WAIT some unnamed Sunni militia commander from some unnamed Sunni militia told the Russians all Assad opposition groups are tied to JaN.....honest...this was an actual Russian report.....

    BreakingNews
    The Russian regime admits the first air strikes since the start of the #SyriaCeasefire.
    Pathetic.

    pic.twitter.com/11MwKcwjAF

    Russian statement is to the effect..."we created the potholes in order to stabilize the situation".

    You know if civilians and especially women and children were not getting killed while the Russians "stabilized the situation" by creating more "potholes" this could actually be turned into a comedy for filming....

    A normal mortal must wonder if the highly paid DoS Syrian Coordination Center got enough 1-800 calls or emails from enough Syrians to record these 36 "potholes" just today in one single town...BUT WAIT the Syrians were dodging some serious air strikes and never could call and or email Washington to let them know "they were being used to create potholes" as they could not even get out of their bomb bunkers...ie their own houses...OR they were to busy digging out their families from under the bomb rubble to call Washington.

    AND the US IC absolutely does not know who created those "potholes"...what a poor ROI for the US taxpayer.......

    Here is a video to help the Obama WH figure out who casued the 36 "potholes".....

    36 #Russia|n airstrikes targeted Harbenafseh in rural #Hama on 3rd day of #SyriaCeasefire

    http://youtu.be/yXbaW-PLI2w

    BUT WAIT the Obama WH already "knows" who caused the "potholes"...the Russians as they were out "stabilizing the situation"....

    SO EXACTLY why did they use the term "potholes" WHEN they knew the Russians had in fact violated their own CoH from the very beginnng......?????????

    Wonder if Obama, Kerry and the DoS ever noticed the close coordination between the Assad SAA and the Islamic State.......

    Aleppo E rif, Daesh handed over almost 20 villages to the regime militias
    https://yallasouriya.wordpress.com/2...-e-rif-daesh-h... …

    Just as the Assad SAA works closely with the YPG in attacking FSa positions even during the so called CoH.......

    BUT WTH...the Syrian Sunni's are just "potholes" on the road to implementing the CoH.....

    BTW the CoH is holding just fine for the IS as not a single Assad and or Russian air strike has hit them in 72 hours...only the US has bombed them to support the YPG from being overrun by the IS...wonder why that is.....??

    Obama,Kerry and the DoS have only themsleves to thank..

    After 72 hours of straight Russian and Assad air stikes, countless ground attacks, shellings and barrel bombs and one chemical attack the FSA oppositon forces have come to the conclusion that the Russians and the US NEVER intended to actually hold to a CoH, nor hold to their promises of humanitarian aid being delivered AND HAVE now resumed offensive operations......

    That was it.
    After 72 hours of constant #Russian/#Assad ceasefire violations, rebels resume operations in response. First recorded GRAD firings by FSA at Assad militia positions that were attacking a town of their's during the so called CoH.....


    Now watch for the Turk and Saudi responses....they are coming as they can point to the Russian violations and the US sitting back and counting "potholes".......as proof they never intented to rein in Assad's genocide of Arab Sunni's.....

    Remember both Turkey and KSA have defined Russia and Assad as threats to their national security.....somewhat overlooked by Washington and Moscow.....
