DEVELOPING - President Obama, addressing Soviet intervention in Syria at a White House press conference, said Tuesday Iran and Syria President Bashar Assad represented Russia's entire coalition "and the rest of the world makes up ours."
He also said Washington and Russian leaders are currently having critical "conversations about deconfliction" so that tensions in Syria won't end up with "firefights" in the air between the two sides.
Senior U.S. military leaders and defense officials are debating whether military force should be used to protect Washington-backed Syrian rebels who have come under attack by Russian airstrikes in recent days.
Right now, the military is not authorized to retaliate on the rebels' behalf.
Obama would not say whether he felt Russian President Vladimir Putin had been dishonest in not laying out his intentions in conversations with the White House before launching airstrikes. He said this was a more "overt" effort by Russia and Iran to keep Bashar in power.
"Mr. Putin had to go into Syria not out of strength but out of weakness" to prop up Assad, Obama said.

and what about CHINA ?
Hey Bambi!
Remind us again....What does “weakness” look like?
That’s a pretty stupid thing to say. Syria has been Russia’s ally for over 50 years.
Putin dropped more bombs in 1 attack than Obama did in a year
Yeah China has Battleships going through Suez canal
If lil’barry were wise it would serve him well to zip his mouth. he & his lackeys created something & are way in over their heads.
But, but...I thought we were suppose to love Iran now.
On the other hand, at least LGBTs will soon have safe places to pee.
What a farce.
Iran is rubbing it in the face of the POS who is allowing them to acquire Nukes. Ain’t that a hoot.
That’s it Obama!
Speech him to defeat!
Or use your pen and phone to shoot down those Russian planes.
Idiot.
Evidently, other nations don’t see our homosexuality and equal opportunity to be the strengths the Democrats claim they are.
In addition to being an enemy agent — he’s delusional too.
One coalition is fighting and one coalition is watching. Wanna guess which one wins?
What Obama failed to mention is that both the U.S. and Russia have entered into a religious war between the Sunni sect and the Shiite sect of the Islamic religion that has been ongoing now since the 7th Century AD.
Russia’s obvious motive for taking part in this Muslim religious war on the side of Syria’s Shiite President Assad and Shiite Iran is clearly to establish Russian influence and control in the Middle East. The United States’ just as obvious motive for taking sides with the Syrian Sunni rebels who are attempting to remove Syria’s Shiite President from power and install a Sunni leader can only be attributed to Sunni Saudi Arabia’s influence within our government.
The fact that the Saudi sponsored Sunni Syrian rebels are almost indistinguishable from the Sunni ISIS/ISIL Jihadists who are also actively striving to remove Syria’s Shiite President and install Sunni leadership seems to be apparent to the Russians but unrecognizable to the U.S.
Your guess is as good as mine as to why these facts aren’t being openly discussed by our government spokesmen and our Main Stream Media.
Obama just gave Iran nuclear bombs and icbm’s to deliver them to USA. And $150 Billion $$ to buy tons more weapons and deploy thousands more terrorists all around the world. And Obama’s complaining about Russia and ——says Iran is Russia’s ally against obsma’s preferred guerrillas. Try making any sense of that — ha! He’s totally delusional. And increasingly dangerous - he started out as an enemy agent and now he’s gone insane on top of it. Pray for us all
He also added that “Putin has his own problems because he has Muslims in his own country”.
Is he revealing that he thinks MUSLIMS are part and parcel of ISIL AKA ISIS?
How anti-Islam of him.
And exactly who is Obama’s coalition in Syria? Turkey is bombing the Kurds who are fighting ISIS. France flew 2 flights, bombed some dirt, and thinks they are a major contributor. I doubt judging from the few sorties the US flies a day that even the US is in Obama’s fantasy coalition.
