    You found it well done Harry. The article confirms, to the world, that the Syrian Government decides Syrian policy not the Russians.

    This guy and ex Indian diplomat always seems to give a good story.

    Here are two recent articles.

    Iran returns to ?Vienna Talks? ? as peacemaker ? Indian Punchline

    Irans returns to the world scene in a very positive manner.

    Syria peace talks a small step, but leans forward ? Indian Punchline


    The progress and positions of the various main actors at the recent Syrian Peace talks.

    A report from Syria indicating not all was plain sailing between Iran and SA.

    Iran says may quit Syria talks, in worsening spat with Saudi rival | Reuters

    Lastly some alleged comment from the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei indicating Iran's expanding role and the nonsense of regime change imposed by some nations. From Stratfor, but behind a pay wall.

    "Despite Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's repeated warnings that Iran cannot trust the United States in discussions beyond the nuclear issue, the reality is that the nuclear deal was merely the stepping stone to a much broader strategic dialogue."

    A comment regarding unexceptional countries wearing boots bigger than they can walk in.

    "There's no point in other countries getting together and deciding about a system of government and the head of that state. This is a dangerous innovation which no government in the world would accept being imposed on itself. The solution to Syria's problem is elections."

    Referring to a Saudi demand, during the meeting, that the fate of Syria MUST BE DECIDEDby the countries in the meeting room. This similar demand previously made by other crusader coalition government officials.

    An aside to the recent meeting in Geneva the EU report starts with a list of the participants.

    http://eeas.europa.eu/statements-eea.../151030_06.htm

    "
    Meeting in Vienna, on October 30, 2015, China, Egypt, the EU, France, Germany, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United Nations, and the United States [“the participants”] came together to discuss the grave situation in Syria and how to bring about an end to the violence as soon as possible."

    Note 10 middle eastern countries, except one, Isreal, does that signify anything?

    This is what the Americans will continue to fund/arm/train/manage the Syrian terrorists for:

    The ISIS are heavily situated where? Adjacent the oil fields and rivers.

    Allegedly the Pentagon have stated:

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-1...rce-over-syria

    "The U.S. Air Force is deploying to Turkey up to a dozen jet fighters specializing in air-to-air combat—apparently to help protect other U.S. and allied jets from Russia’s own warplanes flying over Syria.
    Officially, the deployment of F-15C Eagle twin-engine fighters to Incirlik, Turkey y—which the Pentagon announced late last week—is meant to “ensure the safety” of America’s NATO allies, Laura Seal, a Defense Department spokesperson"

    "But more likely, the F-15s will be escorting attack planes and bombers as they strike ISIS militants in close proximity to Syrian regime forces and the Russian warplanes that, since early October, have bombed ISIS and U.S.-backed rebels fighting the Syrian troops"

    There are some potential targets avalable:

    1. The ISUS airforce- ISIS/US airforce
    2. The Turkish airforce, a NATO colleague, when they bomb the American's "moderate terrorists".
    3. The Russian air force, when they bomb the American's "moderate terrorists"
    4. The Russian airforce, when they shoot down the crusader coalition ground attack planes whilst they are attacking P4+1 forces. Who legitimately are attacking terrorists in Syria.
    5. The Israeli airforce, because they are at hand and the fickle finger of fate could be pointed at Russia.

    Currently most of the Russian airforce in Syria are primarily ground attack plane. There are a small number of air superiority fighters.

    I don't suppose it's of any use informing the Americans of the locations of Syrian Army Forces. As the Americans have a history of "forgetting" who and where the good guys are. The plan maybe to tie up Russian air forces to ensure no "accidental" blue on blue events take place.

    I am not sure of the truth behind Laura Seal's statement, whether she has any clout or whether the words "meant to" are her weasel words. Not a phrase many would accept in a legal contract.

    Most of the worlds leaders, who profess to have been fighting terrorists for many years should welcome Russia acceptance of the terrorist reduction role. Would they also accept American planes actually stopping the P4+1 airforce and ground troops from ridding the world of terrorists?

    No it doesn't, it confirms what some Russian said and given their own actions in sovereign nations, it just proves they're a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

    I'm sure they would if Russia would stick to bombing terrorists.

    the fact of the matter is that IS is still progressing, more refugees are coming here, and the US and the EU is doing fuck all about it, paralyzed by their own stupid agenda on foreign policies

    at least the Russians are acting, under the law, with a real exit plan for Syria

    so all the BS from snub and harry is completely pointless, they can moan like teenage girls because they don't like Putin, but he is the only solution in town at the moment.

    Amazingly it seems someone in Russia is starting to see some fucking sense.

    Perhaps they've realised that they've bitten off more than they can shit.

    Should Assad stay or go? Russia says it doesn't mind either way
    Published November 03, 2015 Associated Press

    MOSCOW – In an apparent effort to set the stage for transition talks, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Tuesday that Moscow does not consider it a matter of principle that Syrian President Bashar Assad should stay in power.

    Asked whether it was crucial for Moscow that Assad stays, Maria Zakharova said on the Ekho Moskvy radio station: "Absolutely not, we've never said that."

    Seems like just a week ago the who reason for Putin's actions in Syria was to keep Assad in power. Now they don't know what we're talking about.

    There's just no pleasing some people.
    I can't imagine Cameron. Merkel, or Obama being swayed so quickly by public opinion.
    I guess that's the benefit of not having to kowtow to lobbyists every time Putin wants to decide what's best for his country.

    There's a lot of cherry picking going on. The Russians have been clear and consistent but some people seem to be easily confused and project their confusion onto the Russians.

    It's symptomatic of the heavy indoctrination, foisted by the mainstream media, that goes beyond bias and into complicit anti-intellectualism.

    Assad or a suitable assad proxy acceptable to the russians and iranians, the russians don't care about assad, they care about their assets, but at least now there will be an impetus towards a solution.

    It's good to be King. Easier to flip-flop and spin the message.
    Carry on.

    So, you mean now that Russia has changed it's mind about cradeling Assad a solution can be found.
    Beginning to see a pivot here by both the Ruskies and their minion hand puppets.

    You actually got the right.

    Everyone: "Assad has to go"

    Putin: "Can I pick his replacement?"

    Everyone: "Oh, alrighhhhttt FFS".

    Now all he has to do is pick a good one.

    Nah, even Assad knew the game was much bigger than himself. The main point everyone is concerned with is what comes next.

    Ah another one who believes the world is ruled by lizard people. Maybe you should stop spending so much time over on infowars with your buddies Dapper aka albert and pseudo.

    You like many others oversimplify things when you make such statements.

    If ISIS can evade detectors flying is ging to get tricky

    Indie reports
    A US intelligence source has said an Isis bomb is the 'most likely' reason behind a Russian jet crash, as the UK ordered all flights from Egypt to be grounded in a move that stranded up to 20,000 Britons.

    Reports in the US media said US intelligence had concluded a bomb planted by Isis terrorists was most likely behind the plane's demise and the death of 224 people. The British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said there was a "significant possibility" the crash was caused by an explosive device.

    US official says Isis bomb is 'most likely' reason behind Russian jet crash | Middle East | News | The Independent
    Russia went from being 2nd strongest army in the world to being the 2nd strongest in Ukraine
