MOSCOW — Secretary of State John Kerry met with President Vladimir V. Putin in Moscow late Thursday night to discuss a proposed extensive military cooperation agreement that for the first time would coordinate American and Russian air attacks on the Islamic State and the Nusra Front, Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria.
Both men said they were hopeful of reaching an accord. “I hope after today’s consultations you’ll be able to advise him of the progress made and possible headway for us to make,” Mr. Putin said, referring to conversations between Mr. Kerry and President Obama. Mr. Kerry responded: “Hopefully, we’ll be able to make some genuine progress that is measurable and implementable and that can make a difference in the course of events in Syria.”
The proposed agreement calls for the creation of a joint military command center staffed by military and intelligence officers who would share information so as to permit “integrated operations.” It has generated deep unease at the Pentagon and in some quarters of the State Department, where it is seen as too conciliatory to both the Russians and the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad.
A top State Department official said in an interview on Thursday that critics of the agreement were being alarmist, pointing out that the proposal requires Syria’s Air Force — which has routinely bombed civilian areas — to be largely grounded.

Putin has been warning us that we are heading to World War III and it will most likley be nuclear.
for obvious reasons, Putin must have nothing but pure contempt for Obama/Kerry and all the mischief and mayhem and mass murders they’ve created on Russia’s periphery especially
Kerry looking for Hillary’s reset button?
Did anyone tell him, she translated “ Reset”?
A ship of fools.
Oh no doubt about it. He’s probably letting Kerry know he has Hillary’s emails and is now removing the Turkey government since NATO is surrounding him.
Translate = untranslated
Damn auto spell/fix.
Her translation said “overcharge”.
With a dozen planes and a couple hundred soldiers, Putin has checkmated Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Obama’s State Department.
Putin is obviously intimidated...
Obama and Kerry have conceded on Syria.
Watch them start to push now for Ukraine in NATO, declare asset seizures of Russian oligarchs tied to Putin, have various international organizations turn of the heat on “human rights” etc...
I wonder how Putin feels about traitors?
I’m sure he knows this asshats entire history.
“Nothing bad happened in Viet Nam after we left.”
—then Senator John Kerry.
No doubt
Pooty tells ketchup boy, stay out of the way
John Kerry’s first diplomatic job was on behalf of the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese government.
Under cover of a “honeymoon” trip to Europe, he met with the future Vice President of Communist Vietnam in a Paris hotel room.
Upon his return to the USA, Kerry was a reliable spokesperson for the Vietnamese communists, repeating their talking points and armistice terms to media and U.S. officials.
I hope Putin dismisses the meeting as insignificant as is John F’ing Kerry!
