Kerry threatens Russia with end to joint Syria diplomacy
AP ^ | September 28, 2016 | Bradley Klapper

Secretary of State John Kerry threatened on Wednesday to end all cooperation between the United States and Russia to stop Syria's civil war, unless Russian and Syrian government attacks on Aleppo end. More than 250 people are believed to have been killed in the besieged city in the last week.

Kerry's warning came in a telephone call Wednesday to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the State Department said, describing the latest U.S. ultimatum in Syria's 5½-year conflict. Many have gone unfulfilled, including President Barack Obama's declaration that the U.S. would take military action if Syrian President Bashar Assad crossed the "red line" of using chemical weapons.

It was unclear what effect Kerry's words would have.

/src on/I am sure Putin is shaking in fear in how to respond to Kerry's "ultimatum"./src off/ I put ultimatum in quotes because Obama's "ultimatums" are not worthy of the actual word. Why would Russia care if cooperation ended? Their primary goal in Syria is to prop up Syria and secure the rump state of Syria, including Aleppo, for him. According to news reports they are as close as they have ever been to achieving that goal.

Seems perfectly clear to me.
Probably to Putin too.

We are funding and training al queda (aka moderate beheaders, aka FSA) and Isis. We have lost all moral authority in Syria, hence all strategic initiative.

Time to let Assad have his country back. But now it’s a proxy of Iran. We have stuffed a dozen rabid raccoons down our own pants.

Translation: Give us and the Saudis what we want, or we will give even more weapons to ISIS and Al Qaeda!

That’s right.....problem is Kerry can’t tell the difference which terrorists they’re supporting anymore because it looks more and more like all of them .......

The entire goal of Obama, Hillary and Kerry was to remove Assad by what ever means and insert their own chosen “partners” into Governance....every agreement that’s made made over and over with those warring on the ground Kerry walked away from if it didn’t include Assad walking....and why the war continues.....no surprise Kerry’s walking yet again.
