Taunted at sea & at air by RuAF... played in Syria & Ukraine by Russia. I can't think of a weaker US president in history.

ALL the Obama WH can do is talk and that is about the only leverage they have left.....

REMEMBER Obama and Kerry "asked Russian to include Aleppo" in their so called new definition of a non functioning ceasefire...."a silence regime" AND Putin said NO...so why keep talking.....?

Led since 8 years by a pacifist dreamer, dictators and semi-democrats around the world crawled up to take over this tiny blue ball.

The formerly proud United States of America BEGS Russia to include a town in Syria into a local & temporary ceasefire.
Russia says no.

If you think I am harsh with the lack of a Obama WH leadership and an utter lack of strategy for anything other than his own "legacy"....I am not the only one out here in cyberspace making the same comments and they come from individuals with far more knowledge and experience than I have.
JUST as the RuAF flies loops around an American RC-135, Putin has been lopping Obama since Crimea and has not for one moment changes his tactics of confronting Obama in the first 21st century "grey war" being fought via non linear warfare supporting Putin's political warfare against the US.
Hear all the noise from the crickets in the Obama WH, in the UNSC and from Paris and Berlin..........YOU cannot as they are being drowned out by the sound of Putin's and Assad's AFs and artillery and SS21s pounding Aleppo and the area into dust and blood and it is occurring in front of your face over the last week AND YET those crickets SAY absolutely nothing do they?????
BREAKING: For the 9th day in a row, Assad warplanes are bombing residential areas of Aleppo!
Syrian Civil Defense stats from past 8 days of regime's Aleppo assault:

Comment from me: "The Americans have effectively signed off on Russia taking over [#Aleppo] city."
Alleged pictures of 16th Special Purpose Brigade (GRU) in Syria
The 16th Spetsnaz was completely rotated through eastern Ukraine over the last two years...BN by BN for combat training in a live environment.....
US-vetted, #FSA-branded Turkoman rebels of Liwa al-Sultan Murad shelling #Assad's military in Ramoussa, Aleppo City.
A case can in fact be made that the Kerry and Obama non actions in Syria are actually in full support to those actions being undertaken by Putin in Syria...case in point...both Kerry, DoD and the spokesperson for the DoS have repeatedly stated "JaN" controls Aleppo....which those that fully understand the opposition and where they are located know is a and this is hard to say....."blatant lie" on the part of the US.....
Question is just why does the US continue to make those statements when they know they are lies.....????
These statements actually gave Assad and Putin a "green light" to move on and bomb Aleppo under the guise of "we are attacking JaN"......
THIS is coming in from the ME and the comments are telling.......
As #Assad/#Russia bombard the nationalist opposition in #Aleppo City, that opposition is driving #IS from towns in eastern Aleppo Province.
Issam Al Reis @south_front_sy
If regime brutality does not stop in #Aleppo our forces will respond in the south. Syrian blood is the same whether in Aleppo or #Damascus
Becoming obvious that #US is now actively engaged w #Russia in the liquidation of #Syria's oppo & rebels.
#Aleppo excluded from truce-
Obama's complicity in Asad's crimes now goes much beyond inaction, as he now deliberately enables onslaught on Aleppo
Obama admin had no obligation to parrot Russia's rhetoric about Nusra in Aleppo. They've helped Putin-Asad reshape the narrative. Complicit
The mighty resistance; Obama must be proud, again. #Iran calls for boys to fight as CHILD SOLDIERS in #Syria

Enough is enough — U.S. abdication on Syria must come to an end
By Michael Ignatieff and Leon Wieseltier
February 9
Talk is cheap with the Obama WH.......Michael Ignatieff is the Edward R. Murrow professor of practice at the Harvard Kennedy School. Leon Wieseltier is the Isaiah Berlin Senior Fellow in Culture and Policy at the Brookings Institution.
As Russian planes decimate Aleppo, and hundreds of thousands of civilians in Syria’s largest city prepare for encirclement, blockade and siege — and for the starvation and the barbarity that will inevitably follow — it is time to proclaim the moral bankruptcy of American and Western policy in Syria.
Actually, it is past time. The moral bankruptcy has been long in the making: five years of empty declarations that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must go, of halfhearted arming of rebel groups, of allowing the red line on chemical weapons to be crossed and of failing adequately to share Europe’s refugee burden as it buckles under the strain of the consequences of Western inaction. In the meantime, a quarter-million Syrians have died, 7 million have been displaced and nearly 5 million are refugees. Two million of the refugees are children.
This downward path leads to the truly incredible possibility that as the Syrian dictator and his ruthless backers close in on Aleppo, the government of the United States, in the name of the struggle against the Islamic State, will simply stand by while Russia, Assad and Iran destroy their opponents at whatever human cost.
It is time for those who care about the moral standing of the United States to say that this policy is shameful. If the United States and its NATO allies allow their inglorious new partners to encircle and starve the people of Aleppo, they will be complicit in crimes of war. The ruins of our own integrity will be found amid the ruins of Aleppo. Indiscriminate bombardment of civilians is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. So is the use of siege and blockade to starve civilians. We need not wait for proof of Assad’s and Vladimir Putin’s intentions as they tighten the noose. “Barrel bombs” have been falling on bread lines and hospitals in the city (and elsewhere in Syria) for some time. Starvation is a long-standing and amply documented instrument in Assad’s tool kit of horrors.
Aleppo is an emergency, requiring emergency measures. Are we no longer capable of emergency action? It is also an opportunity, perhaps the last one, to save Syria. Aleppo is the new Sarajevo, the new Srebrenica, and its fate should be to the Syrian conflict what the fate of Sarajevo and Srebrenica were to the Bosnian conflict: the occasion for the United States to bestir itself, and for the West to say with one voice, “Enough.” It was after Srebrenica and Sarajevo — and after the air campaign with which the West finally responded to the atrocities — that the United States undertook the statecraft that led to the Dayton accords and ended the war in Bosnia.
The conventional wisdom is that nothing can be done in Syria, but the conventional wisdom is wrong. There is a path toward ending the horror in Aleppo — a perfectly realistic path that would honor our highest ideals, a way to recover our moral standing as well as our strategic position. Operating under a NATO umbrella, the United States could use its naval and air assets in the region to establish a no-fly zone from Aleppo to the Turkish border and make clear that it would prevent the continued bombardment of civilians and refugees by any party, including the Russians. It could use the no-fly zone to keep open the corridor with Turkey and use its assets to resupply the city and internally displaced people in the region with humanitarian assistance.
If the Russians and Syrians sought to prevent humanitarian protection and resupply of the city, they would face the military consequences. The U.S. military is already in hourly contact with the Russian military about de-conflicting their aircraft over Syria, and the administration can be in constant contact with the Russian leadership to ensure that a humanitarian protection mission need not escalate into a great-power confrontation. But risk is no excuse for doing nothing. The Russians and the Syrians would immediately understand the consequences of U.S. and NATO action: They would learn, in the only language they seem to understand, that they cannot win the Syrian war on their repulsive terms. The use of force to protect civilians, and to establish a new configuration of power in which the skies would no longer be owned by the Syrian tyrant and the Russian tyrant, may set the stage for a tough and serious negotiation to bring an end to the slaughter.
This is what U.S. leadership in the 21st century should look like: bringing together force and diplomacy, moral commitment and strategic boldness, around an urgent humanitarian objective that would command the support of the world. The era of our Syrian abdication must end now. If we do not come to the rescue of Aleppo, if we do not do everything we can to put a stop to the suffering that is the defining and most damaging abomination of our time, Aleppo will be a stain on our conscience forever.
U.S. denies abandoning Aleppo in Russian ceasefire deal, @John_Hudson reports
http://atfp.co/1SDuLDQ
So after the last 72 hours of constant deliberate bombing against civilians and hospitals and an ever increasing loss of civilian life including women and children.....WOULD the Obama WH stand by this article....???
As I stated..talk is really cheap inside the Obama WH....

Renewed Assad airstrikes in #Aleppo now & barrel bombs in Atshan east rural #Hama, #Syria
Meanwhile it looks like rebels have captured al-Ahmadiya from #ISIS in north rural #Aleppo, #Syria
Now we know what Kerry's "plan B" was about: backing a regime offensive on Aleppo. His threat was intended for the opposition.
MSF supported first aid med supplies warehouse in Muwasalat area in #Aleppo completely destroyed by Assad bombing
The systematic targeting of #Aleppo’s medical & civilian infrastructure by Russia & Assad is not terrorism in the eyes of this sick world
Uwais al-Qarani mosque in Sukkari, #Aleppo, bombed by Russia/Assad of course
Marjeh clinic: bombed by Russia/Assad
Ambulances: bombed by Russia/Assad
Bustan al-Qasr hospital: bombed by Russia/Assad
Water pumping stations: bombed by Russia/Assad
Sukkari hospital: bombed by Russia/Assad

Fox is now taking their stories from the Russian propaganda outlet Russian Today........
Fox News uses a photo of @SyriaCivilDef at an Assad air strike aftermath in Aleppo, & labels it "Rebel shelling".
Russia says it will NOT pressure Assad to stop bombarding Aleppo. At least they are honest.
And Obama and Kerry........?
