The United States on Sunday called Russia's action in Syria "barbarism" not counter-terrorism while Moscow's U.N. envoy said ending the war "is almost an impossible task now" as Syrian government forces, backed by Moscow, bombed the city of Aleppo.
The United Nations Security Council met on Sunday at the request of the United States, Britain and France to discuss the escalation of fighting in Aleppo following the announcement on Thursday of an offensive by the Syrian army to retake the city.
"What Russia is sponsoring and doing is not counter-terrorism, it is barbarism," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, told the 15-member council.
"Instead of pursuing peace, Russia and Assad make war. Instead of helping get life-saving aid to civilians, Russia and Assad are bombing the humanitarian convoys, hospitals, and first responders who are trying desperately to keep people alive," said Power.

“And how has Obama’s obsession of Assad played a role?”
Don’t forget that Obama and the rest of the DC gang fomented the “Arab Spring” with close cooperation between the CIA and the Muslim Brotherhood and the advent of ISIS.

We're on the wrong side.

What the world needs now is more dead jhadist.
Its the only thing that’s there just to little of.
Putin makes it happen.
Netanyahu let’s it happen.
Obama wonders what happened.
While I agree with your other points, I must say that the Arab spring, with the exception of Syria and Egypt did not happen in the ARab countries that srround Israel — Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia did not get this. And the big changes for the Arab spring - Tunisia, Libya and yemen are not particularly close to Israel
