In the most dramatic diplomatic escalation involving the Syrian conflict in the past years, yesterday John Kerry issued an ultimatum to Russia, in which he warned his colleague Lavrov to stop bombing Aleppo or else the US would suspend all cooperation and diplomacy with Russia.
24 hours later, this appears to be precisely what is about to take place, leading to an even greater geopolitical shock in Syria. According to Retuers, the United States is expected to tell Russia on Thursday it is suspending their diplomatic engagement on Syria following the Russian-backed Syrian government's intense attacks on Aleppo, U.S. officials said on condition of anonymity.
Why now and what happens next? According to US officials, the Obama administration is now considering tougher responses to the Russian-backed Syrian government assault on Aleppo, including military options. According to Reuters, the new discussions were being held at "staff level," and have yet to produce any recommendations to President Barack Obama, who has resisted ordering military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the country's multi-sided civil war.
However, now that diplomacy with Russia is set to end, this will give the greenlight for Obama to send in US troops in Syria, with Putin certain to respond appropriately, in what will be the biggest military escalation in the Syrian proxy war in its five and a half year history.
Congress refuses to do its Constitutional duty.
BWAHAHAHAHA! Mom jeans sissy wrists is going to threaten Putin? Yeah that’s going to go over real well.
The paper is worthless!
Go to war with Russia over Syria?!?!?
The hell with that!
This sounds too much like Russia and Syria are winning over the Obama backed Islamic terrorists who would turn Syria into another Libya so Obama has got to make sure that the Christian killing head choppers get an extra assist from the US.
Putin will crook his little finger, and Kerry (i.e., Obama) will be so happy back at the table ‘talking unending peace’, then promptly concede more US sovereignty.
It is all a dance. Nobody should be fooled by this, not after eight years.
We have an inept, collaborator President with all the good sense of Wilhelm II of Germany who wants to get us into a civil war in a rat shit country on the side of out own worst enemies, a a war that’s likely to get us into larger, totally unpredictable one with Russia, just as Wilhelm got into it with Russia in 1914. At least Wilhelm did it on behalf of an allied country, Austria-Hungary, not on behalf of a bunch of subhuman mass-murdering terrorists. Countries that blunder into war with Russia usually come out badly.
Sickening and disgusting that we are going to such extreme lengths to support the wahhabist jihadis in Aleppo.
I hope the Russians bomb the snot out of “our” rebels.
Why would anybody diplomatically engage a corrupt government ?
Is this another “line in the sand” thingies?
why would any right thinking parent allow their kid to go into the military under this crooked regime is beyond me....
they are fodder for the oligharchy to pass around a few more trillions among themselves...

Good people still need to get in, if only as Fifth Column or a distant early warning for when the Washington government quits pretending it is anything but an adversary of the American people.
Perhaps if Obama was awarded another Nobel Peace Prize it would help? :-(
(Kerry and Obama are exactly the kind of arrogant a_holes you do not want in the room when sensitive negotiations are in progress.)
“Sickening and disgusting that we are going to such extreme lengths to support the wahhabist jihadis in Aleppo.

It would be interesting if Saudi Arabia were compelled to play. Those decadents would be a liability.
Threatening military action against Russia because they are bombing terrorists? A greater hatred for America has rarely been exhibited. It shocks the conscience that one would float such a suicidal concept especially since it is the Globalists, not the American people who want to topple Assad. Obama, Hillary and their terrorist creations/allies (useful idiots) are just following orders from the Globalists. They want to turn Syria into another Libya a terrorist run cesspool.
Assad protects Christians and even has Christian commanders in his military. The Russians are bombing Wahhabist terrorists in Syria that are trying to overthrow Assad (and CIA criminals who are assisting the Wahhabists.) All you had to do was watch Obama veto the 9/11 Saudi bill to see which side he is on. He is with the Wahhabists.
In the past 236 years we have been fighting some type of conflict for 214 years or about 90% of the time. We need to stop feeding war-mongering demons with war and hate. Our Constitution does not provide for us to be the moral arbiters of the world and then enforce our moral decision on others via death and destruction especially now that many of the moral decision-makers of this administration are not even Americans or are at best, dual-citizens.
We have a much more pressing problem than Allepo and that is cleaning the criminals out of Washington DC that would risk nuclear war to obey the Globalists.
Are the anti-russian soro’s shills in this thread yet? I’ve haven’t gotten my fill of having 50 pages of copy and paste tossed my way yet.
>Obama isnt going to send any troops to fight in Syria
To stop Trump? He will.
Appears that his goal is to get us in a shooting war with Russia before the election.
