Assad will 'retake the whole country' hours after Kerry announces peace deal.

Syria's fragile peace deal descended into farce today after President Bashar al-Assad vowed to retake the entire country despite attempts by world powers to broker a ceasefire. In a rare interview published just hours after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced a planned truce, Assad said he would continue to fight 'terrorism' regardless. He also warned it could take a 'long time' to defeat opposition groups, including Western-backed rebels, because so many countries were involved in the conflict. Assad said his regime's eventual goal was to retake all of Syria, large swathes of which are under the control of rebel forces or ISIS.

Trump and Putin will have a mutual alpha for each other..the way it should be ..Russia should be a modern natural ally ,but we’ve been poking at them relentlessly and have taken the side of militant Islam ... very unfortunate

Good, in-depth article. Once again you have to go to the daily mail to find out whats going on.

[Hugin]

Yep. At least Assad never slaughtered Christians.

where’s his saaaarc tag??? ;-)

[Smokin' Joe]

Good for him. I am sure he will deal with the problem groups as he sees fit. He is their duly elected president, it is his prerogative.

[Smokin' Joe]

Exactly right ...unfortunately every candidate running on both sides , wants conflict with Russia .

The last time we had a depression going it took WWII to get out of the nosedive.

This time it might take WWIII. The setup is ripe for it, unfortunately.

Putin is a total rock star in Russia these days. He’s Uncle Vlad.

[DuncanWaring]

Of course he knows it - that’s why he’s trying to get rid of Assad.

Assad will 'retake the whole country' hours after Kerry announces peace deal.

What a strange and dishonest headline. Should be "Hours After Kerry Peace Deal Assad Says Will Continue Fighting To Retake Country Regardless".

It's as bad as "I saw Morgan Fairchild Naked. . . I Was The One Who Was Naked."

[ichabod1]

well, he’s done a good job getting the MB up and running in the government here at home, so he’s got that.

[ichabod1]

Not just Islam - Shia vs Sunni. Very bad blood.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Exactly ..

[ichabod1]

And us on the wrong side. I hope to God it holds off until we can get a man in there. An American man.

Its almost time for Arab Spring named after great play, “it’s springtime for Hitler. ......”

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Dear world: Sorry you have had to put up with the buffoons in this American administration. It will get better soon.

Uncle Sam

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Damned place can’t be gently run.

[Rusty0604]

How things have changed in five years.

[Rusty0604]

I don’t understand it either. At least under Assad Christians could live in peace.

[Neu Pragmatist]

It’s about natural resources and undercutting/ provoking Russia at every turn ..the Christians are an innocent casualty of the US/EU/Nato/Saudi/Turkey led expansionist venture ...I actually think they want the Christians to be slaughtered ...Putin is their only hope ...
