Tillerson reported on the conditions of the United States to begin military cooperation with the Russian Federation on Syria

48
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, for whom, as it became known, there was no room in the Bonn hotel, during the summit of the G20 foreign ministers made a statement regarding the possibility of military interaction with Russia in Syria. According to Tillerson, such interaction will not be possible as long as Russia believes that the entire Syrian opposition is terrorists.

Rex Tillerson's statement publishes Rider, citing a source in diplomatic circles.



Recall that the day before, the first meeting of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with his American counterpart from the administration of the new US President Donald Trump took place.

There are reports that, according to the United States, Russia should recognize as the "democratic opposition" of Syria those groups that have not been declared terrorists at the level of the UN Security Council.

At the same time, the essence of the claims against Moscow remains unclear. Considering the fact that Russia initiated the negotiation process in Astana between the Syrian official authorities and representatives of 12 opposition groups, including the armed ones, what other recognition of these groups is required from Russia? ..

Tillerson reported on the conditions of the United States to begin military cooperation with the Russian Federation on Syria


Tillerson will probably concretize his position in the near future.

Earlier, US President Trump said that if Russia is fighting terrorism, it would be strange not to establish contacts with the Russian Federation aimed at jointly fighting the same ISIS (prohibited in the Russian Federation).

            Lavrov and Tillerson will meet more than once before the meeting of the Presidents. The next round of the Great Game begins after the change of scenery in the States.

        Guys, I think you are burning! ))) as well as article)))
        There are reports that, according to the United States, Russia should recognize the "democratic opposition" of Syria those groups who are not declared terrorists at the level of the UN Security Council.
        At the same time, the essence of the claims against Moscow remains unclear..

        Mlyn, in order to portray the Kremlin's concession somewhere, you must first find it and now those groups that are already participating in the negotiations, but in fact do not voice their names, Russia will agree with the "arguments" of the United States and declare that it recognizes them as opposition and you can start the Middle East dialogue ...
        Thus, the United States retains its face and opens up an opportunity for real dialogue on other issues as well.
        It's just that this option with Syria, a situation in which many citizens of the world support the actions of Russia, can serve as a damper and soften the general last heat of passions on the part of the Pin.dos media, including.
        PS.
        Russia has already connected a bunch of such groups to the negotiations, and some of those who were released from Aleppo may compromise in such situations. This applies only to local people, there will be one conversation with newcomers.
        The common people are not at all stupid.
        At the same time, the statements are so absurd that the Europeans themselves laugh at them.

        So it is, I communicate with people from France and Germany, they laugh. And that, the order was received and paid.

        Thus, propaganda, for which a lot of money is spent, has a fundamentally opposite effect, banal because of its absurdity. The grotesque image of Russia in an adequate part of the European society causes only healthy laughter.

            Take your time, friends. Tirex is not a professional diplomat. An indicative photo, I must say. Lavrov with the whole team and Tirex with the ambassador and translator.
            It is the United States that needs a result for Trump's hundred days, and indeed show its "abilities" - the Kremlin may not strain - we are waiting for the initiatives of Trump and Co. .. In the entire external "agenda" the Russian Federation has an initiative. They even need Moscow to safely withdraw their troops from Afghanistan. In Syria, no matter what they say, the Russian Federation is legally. Iran and the DPRK - it is impossible to decide something without the mediation of the Russian Federation (Koreans and Iranians will not even sit down at the negotiating table without Russia). Ukraine and the Baltics are economic, black holes (without the problems of Crimea and Donbass). Libya even. Rearmament - let them look at the CFE Treaty and who violated it (RF, RB, RK have complied with). START - let them look at the ABM Treaty.
            It was not for nothing that the negotiations took place behind closed doors. Obama's old policy cards are beaten - Trump and Tirex need to change it. So what kind of bargaining can there be? Ukraine for Syria is nonsense, and here and there the Russian Federation has reinforced concrete and logically verified actions. Therefore, let them rack their brains in the west. hi
            The "southern front of the opposition," the border with Jordan, has arrived in Astana.

    It seems that they have not decided - "what's next"? How to behave with Russia? I can say one thing, if they do not cooperate with us, they have no prospects. They used those bonuses that the control of world finances gave them. Further, having no real production, and continuing the confrontation with Russia, it will be worse. In addition to external problems, there will also be internal ones.

    Well done Americans, there is always a second bottom in their statement!
    As soon as ours sign this agreement, all terrorist organizations will immediately change their name and sit at the negotiating table as representatives of the peaceful opposition, and the Americans will also point out to ours that the agreement is not being fulfilled.

    Two months ago, here at VO, there were a large part of such believers in "Trump's Messiah". Something quickly everyone became atheists. It will be necessary next time not to forget, to note the time of changing shoes, some of the forum participants.

We have been looking with our mouths open for too long at this cloaca of swindlers, fraudsters, and simply international criminals who hide behind the monopoly of their dollar. But we can destroy this within a month or two by active propaganda in the world - a COMPLETE REFUSAL OF THE DOLLAR as a means of feeding terrorists of all stripes. By showing the whole world that it is the DOLLAR ZONE - THERE IS A ZONE OF THE MAIDAN AND TERRORISM. In addition, through the blogs and forums of the United States itself, we can initiate such a Maidan there, which will surpass both the October Revolution of 1917 and the Kiev "RAGULUTSIU GIDOTI". It is in the USA that there are so many social, ethnic, religious, interracial, gender issues and oppression that will be enough for the whole world. You just need to create one or two regiments of information warfare specialists and start working for the result. Through their own sites and forums. Why there are as many as THREE such regiments in China, and not a single one in our country !!!

    Tramp and his team, or what is called a team, for at least another half a year will fight the legacy of professional politicians like the Clintons and Obama.

    Psaki advised the Trump team to "carefully verify the facts"
    Former White House communications director Jen Psaki said that the team of US President Donald Trump, which communicates with the media, should abandon lies and carefully check the facts before conveying information to the public.
    In an interview with CNN, she said that the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, and presidential adviser Kelliann Conway could change the negative opinion that they had among the representatives of the American media if they followed a series of tips. So, she advised “stop lying,” since they speak on behalf of the United States. “If you have no data or answer, just say so,” the word TASS transmits.
    Also, Psaki said that it was necessary to “verify the facts” before they were announced and, in general, change the strategy of speeches on TV, not trying to “copy the behavior of Donald Trump” when dealing with the press.
    “He (Trump) may shout at reporters and blame people for folly and lies, but that doesn’t mean that you need to use this behavior as a model,” she said.
    She urged again to organize regular briefings at the State Department to convey the position to "dozens of key countries, partners, allies and even opponents around the world."
