US Secretary of State: Russia's continued support for President Assad undermines our common goals in the fight against terrorism

US State Department spokesman John Kirby reported on telephone talks between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry, during which they discussed the situation in Syria, in particular, Russia's support for the current President Bashar Al-Assad.

“The Secretary of State has made it clear that Russia's continued support for President Assad threatens the expansion of the conflict and undermines our common goals in the fight against terrorism,” said Kirby RIA "News".

In addition, Kerry reiterated Washington’s commitment to fighting the Islamic State (IG) together with the international coalition, which includes more than 60 states, while stressing that Assad cannot be a credible member of this coalition. Also, according to him, “the United States would welcome a constructive role of Russia in the fight against IS”.

"The Secretary of State stressed that there is no military solution to the conflict in Syria, which can only be resolved through a political transfer of power from Assad," Kirby said.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in turn, particularly stressed the need to create a united front to counter terrorist groups in Syria.

The stubborn Yankees rams, is it really not clear that Russia will not surrender Syria to plunder? Rod and rod with a horn at the gate! We stand and prove that Russia is consistent in its policy and is not a blind executor of amer wishes!

[Intrudeude]

Yes, the mattresses still cannot understand that today's Russia is not Russia of the sample of the 90s, and Vladimir Putin is not forever drunk Borya Yelkin ... and they don’t understand this, they are very surprised and concerned

[pomegranate]

What goals are such a struggle!

Russia's continued support for President Assad undermines our common counterterrorism goals

Logic smokes on the sidelines.

[Kent0001]

Everything is clear as on a bright day. The mattress of science I dumps Assad, puts a puppet in his place and pulls a gas pipeline through Syria from Ktar to throw us out of there. These ghouls only dream of bringing Russia to its knees in any way, but I think we won’t surrender Assad so easily ..... and he went to Carrie ....

[DIVAN SOLDIER]

The old rooster is completely crazy, and Assad and the fight against terrorism are here, Assad is the only one fighting with them.

[Finches]

According to "Tai ...", "The Guardian", back in 2012, Russia proposed to consider the resignation of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as part of a peace agreement, but Western countries ignored this! This compromise proposal was voiced by Churkin at the UN, but the United States, Great Britain and France ignored this proposal. And now they are trying to shift from a sore head to a healthy one - moreover, with their Anglo-Saxon meanness, accusing us of all mortal sins! Yes, here on principle it is necessary to help Assad so that he would still break the back of the Frankinstein of ISIS, created and financed as before from overseas. And Kerry, making himself a virgin, knows this very well!

[Amurets]

How about what? Everyone together pulls the chestnuts out of the fire. And they will get one vile, vile, red-faced monkey. Here and common goals.

[vovanpain]

Yes, you get a donut hole striped, not Bashar al-Assad

[Vitaly Anisimov]

For a long time we have no "common goals" .... Russia has its own path, difficult and thorny .. Do not interfere!

[RuslanNN]

He was a little mistaken - Putin’s support for Assad undermines our goals of supporting terrorism, I wanted to say

[Amurets]

Putin's support for Assad undermines US goals to gain full control of the Arab oil and gas region with its energy reserves.

[Nord2015]

According to Obama, the fight against ISIS will become effective only after the overthrow of Assad. Amazing idiocy.

[james]

No, they’re not. One of the goals of the United States, the overthrow of Assad by the hands of ISIS, because the fight and take off resembles a game of giveaway, and everything else from the evil one.

[Vladimir Pozlnyakov]

The goal of the overseas MONKEY is one - to WITCH RUSSIA wherever possible! The principle "two bears in one den" no longer works! In our time, "a bear in alliance with the Chinese KAA and the Syrian BAGIRA against the Banderlog"

[Amurets]

This is not idiocy. This is a blinding hatred of Putin and Assad for peacefully resolving the issue of Syrian chemical weapons, found and proved the British trace in the supply of binary chemical weapons components used by IS. See an article on how the United States plans to build a pipeline state on the shards of Iraq and Syria, Putin and Assad frustrate all of these plans, while dumb-headed Europe helps to destroy itself by taking part in the bombing and accepting the refugees it creates.

No, well, look what a bastard is, huh ?!

[rotmistr60]

Normal political ping pong. But at the same time, the United States is trying to play not just not according to the rules, but according to the unilateral rules established by them, which provide for blindfold the enemy. But on something tricky, there is always something else with a screw.

[valday]

and what is the common goal? The Americans have to create chaos wherever possible, to breed groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, to overthrow the legally elected government in any country. Russia has no such goals, therefore, there is nothing in common

[knn54]

-... conflict in Syria, which can only be eliminated by political transfer of power from Assad. And who, EXCEPT Assad, is able to fight ISIS ???

[Amurets]

Is it not clear? Is it either the USA or the puppet of the USA.

[azbukin77]

Since mattresses express concern, then we are doing everything right. Verified 100%!

We just look at the issues of a political solution to peace and war in different ways. Amers never understand this.

[Mountain shooter]

What corn did Assad step on to fascington? Just the same manic hatred is observed. If not for Russia, they have already "bombed Syria into the Stone Age", ignoring the casualties among the civilian population. There is a suspicion that Assad stands in the way of some grandiose mattress plans to "pacify Russia", and there is simply no way around him. Is it not on the way of Qatari gas to southern Europe? And what, is this the whole reason?
It is funny that in recent years, any activity of the mattress leads to the opposite results.

The country's territory is located extremely well.
Such Americans themselves want to control.
All gas and oil pipes.
But Assad does not agree with this. So are we.

If we had a normal government, and not slobbery bedding, mundos would not rock the boat there.

"... undermines our common counter-terrorism goals."

Something tells me that he should have said not "about the fight against terrorism" but "about the spread of terrorism." This makes more sense in light of their behavior in the world.

“The Secretary of State made it clear that Russia's continued support for President Assad threatens to widen the conflict and undermine our common counterterrorism goals.”

Of course it’s undermining, you would look at all 60 states that are part of the coalition, would quickly get rid of Assad and ISIS would rush to the Caucasus to fight with Russia, but this turns out to be a bummer, they can’t directly bomb Syria for the third year, Russia says.

[sl22277]

And the hidden support of ISIS, this is not an undermining in the fight against terrorism?! Bashar al-Assad said: to solve the problems, it is necessary to stop supporting terrorists in the Middle East. There is a war for colonies and spheres of influence far from the American borders. It comes with great benefit to the American capital - both financial and political. And Russia is supporting the legitimate authorities in the fight against terrorism! President Assad refused to just play by Washington’s rules. Apparently, what would the United States love you need to become a traitor to your people, country!

US Secretary of State: Russia's continued support for President Assad undermines our common goals in the fight against terrorism

This morning I can’t concentrate on work, then Obama works as a telephone operator, then somewhere in Kemerovo the opposition was scouted, and then John pinned him down with his goals. "Dear Site" you give such jokes dosed, labor productivity falls from laughter.

It’s like I was kind of messing around, sort of.

[Ruswolf]

Vladimir!
But he correctly said

Russia's continued support for President Assad undermines our common goals

The only question is what are these common goals? ... and whose specifically? If terrorism? .... So in Novorossia everyone, even babies and old people, was called terrorists and separatists. I have already ceased to understand the meaning of the word Terrorism. After New Russia it already seems to be pretty decent!

I think so. that Kerry is not quite healthy. It will become clear during the year.

In the place of our Foreign Ministry, I would make the opposite statement
"... that there is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine, which can only be eliminated through a political transfer of power from Poroshenko and Co."

[Baloo]

from ana shaw, but I thought ... So are these Assad and Syrians terrorists?
Kerry .ly, glasses wipe. We are not jumping, we are Russians.

[mamont5]

Original! And, US support for Islamic bandits, therefore, promotes democracy around the world. However, for the US, this is already a common thing.

[andj61]

Secretary of State makes clear that Russia's continued support for President Assad threatens to widen the conflict and undermines our common counterterrorism goals

At the same time, he does not recognize Assad as a terrorist, but the United States supports numerous "moderate" terrorist groups - all sorts of Al Nusra, etc. Thus, the United States is putting demands on Russia for regime change in Syria. Now - by political means, since the military did not succeed. But somewhere in 2011, Assad even announced that he was ready to leave, but by agreement, after the elections and reforms. The opposition, incited by the United States, then did not agree to this.
Another point: Israeli regulars in VO pay attention to the fact that only the Alawites are standing behind Assad, and they say, 15-20% of the population, and they do not constitute the majority. And all the Sunnis, they say, are against him. And they forget that the increase in the number of Sunnis in Syria happened in exactly the same way as the Palestinian Arabs in Israel - through emigration from the same Iraq, Egypt, etc. For Israel, they actually do not recognize these newly arrived Arabs as Palestinians, but in Syria they recognize them as Syrians.
But Assad is now in a terribly difficult situation, and it will be very difficult to maintain the unity of the country. In the 20th century, an Alawite state entity existed on the Syrian coast for some time under the mandate of France. I am afraid that even now the matter is moving towards the division of Syria on a confessional-national basis.

[Svetlana]

How tired of this gibbon, ameropithecus. Already sick of him.

[Buffalo]

"Our goals..."!!!
- Did the dog have a hut ?!
Judging by the fact that more and more new US allies continue to join the anti-Syrian coalition, they are building up forces for a joint air strike against Syria. All the rhetoric about the fight against IS is disguise. The experience of Serbia and Libya clearly supports this version.

[Lecha57]

I will not be happy if such a "attack" soon befalls the United States. There are enough prerequisites for this.

[JonnyT]

Assad is a legitimate legitimate authority supported by the majority of the Syrian population. The Assad regime is an obstacle to the spread of radical terrorist movements. We are all well aware of who created the ISIS monster, al-Qaeda, Nusra, etc., and for what purposes it was actively armed and trained. It is vital for them to create a united front of terrorist groups
If they do not eliminate Assad, then ISIS will move on them - to Israel, Turkey, Europe, Saudi Arabia and so on.

The first alarm signals have already begun - thugs have begun to penetrate the EU. Hence the hysterical calls and threats in our direction

[Svyatogor]

I don’t understand how the support of the LEGALLY elected president can be considered a destabilizing factor.

[Nyrobsky]

What do they want? What would Russia cease to support Assad and for the successful struggle of Americans against terrorism began to support ISIS?
It’s just that Russia, by its very existence, is preventing mattresses from establishing a world dictatorship.

[Ruswolf]

If Russia and Syria cannot be members of the coalition ....... Then we will become its brain!
And who doesn’t like ... they can become her back ..... back.

[Sanicha]

And who said that our goals coincide? And somehow, on the drum, what Tan says

[Leeder]

That's purely logical, -
Assad is fighting ISIS, ISIS themselves Americans recognize as terrorists. Why Assad Support is terrorist support ???
What do they think that besides them, everything is complete ???
That’s what they would say, the United States is not interested in destroying ISIS.

[Wolka]

B. Assad is the legitimately elected president of Syria, and he can decide whether he suits his people or not, only the people of Syria themselves, but not the State Department from the Yankees, but in general it’s time to initiate an international tribunal for actions, including the US military in the world, to commit crimes against people and the world, in general, who gave them the right to interfere in other people's affairs, all the more to incite civil wars in countries that are not acceptable to the Yankees regime, introduce trade and other sanctions against them who are objectionable, tell yourself they took this right, that’s why they must be judged and make respect for the sovereignty of other countries ...

[roskot]

Your goals do not interest us. It’s time to understand that the world has ceased to be unipolar, and the interests of the United States do not always coincide with the interests of other countries

Soon, Kerry from Lavrov will begin to hide, as Obama from Putin.
