Following lengthy talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow today, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has said the United States is not seeking regime change in Syria and that the U.S. and Russia see the conflict "fundamentally very similarly."

"The United States and its partners are not seeking so-called regime change as it is known in Syria," Kerry said in a news conference inside the Kremlin, before immediately adding that the U.S. continues to believe that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has no possibility of remaining the country's leader in the future.

Maybe it has to do with the story that Putin has been seen in old photos leading people to believe he is immortal.

the American effort has been in support of the Kurds and tacitly with Iraq as an excuse

After speaking for months and repeating “Assad must go”, here’s Kerry saying we’re not trying for regime change. Is there some context I am unaware of, they have repeated this 500 times?

Putin is laughing his ass off.

I approve this one particular JF Kerry flip-flop.

Ousting Assad was *always* a bad idea.

They’re not mutually exclusive. This is goofballism slathered over the world stage like mankind has not previously seen.

ROFLMAO

Why do I think Putin made an a** out of Kerry.

Putin has been saying stay out of it all along.

And remember, Putin got Assad to give up his chemical weapons.

And we were the ones who destroyed them. Then we should have been out of there.

It is unbelievable that the USA is still being decimated by the Bush 2 neocons who believe our primary American mission has something to do with the Middle East. XXXX the ME is my belief.

We need to extricate ourselves and fix America and seal our southern borders. The neocon globalist elite traitors want our country decimated and the 3rd worlders given the keys to our nation.

BTW I just bought “Sold Out” by Michelle Malkin. We need to deport ALL elites or put them in Leavenworth. They are anti-American infiltrators.

"Your move, Mr. Secretary!"

"Uh, President Putin - I must confess - I'm not familiar with this 'Russian' version of 'Chutes and Ladders'"

"No worries, I'm certain you will win!"

These people are so absolutely full of crap.

Read this:

November 21, 2015 (Just a little over three weeks ago):

“I do not foresee a situation in which we can end the civil war in Syria while Assad remains in power,” Obama told the media on the sidelines of a trade summit in Manila.” - BArack Hussein Obama

December 15, 2015 (Today):

“The United States and its partners are not seeking so-called regime change as it is known in Syria,” Kerry said at the Kremlin, before immediately saying that, “the U.S. continues to believe that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has no possibility of remaining the country’s leader in the future.”

These people are delusional, and they are pathological about it.

they actually believe they can say whatever they want...even moment to moment...and that people will believe them.

“We are not seeking regime change, but Assad cannot remain in power.”
