U.S. suspends talks with Russia on Syria ceasefire

16. Re: going for military solution

Simplistic though well thought out points made ... along the lines of designer truth however; that we best accept it was really a completely honest accident with attacking a Syrian army position during the cease fire period, that admitting to it was somehow noble or compensatory or that ISIS' win of that battle were both incidental and irrelevent, all for conveniently parking the blame for that aid convoy strike on Russia really does provide the perfect, dramatic, key, almost 'Hollywoodesque' moment ... to sever all direct communication with Russia, fully and immediately returning us to the manner of cold war after some 35 years break. No problem there, either, Seems we don't WANT to talk to them anymore.

They're just full of propaganda. Russia aggression must be checked. Look what became of Chechnya.

The nothing-to-regret part makes your chosen version what's happened in/to Syria and who's to blame is highly appealing and gives credibility to a 'loyalist' campaign to steer general thinking, in present case over why it's OK to sever all remnants of alliance with the Russians, important enough we make this sacrifice, nevermind 15 year record of drawing smaller countries onto paths toward permanent cultural annihilation in the name somehow coming o their assistance. This emerging weakened and veritably crippled Arab world is something the designer can certainly live with.

Whether or not US anger over moral implications after already saying sorry about those dead Syrian regulars guys could tarnish an rising imperial sense of purpose in Washington, or its image carrying on with the mission to ... achieve regime change all the way to Moscow as may need be, despite all brutality, death, displacement, destruction and social collapse to date. Don't change horses in mid stream either.

It has already developed into Biblical proportions. Syria and Russia can't just be pointed at with aspersions in this dirty kind of a dirty war campaign, Hate to think people here really buy the feed being offered, even it being a much nicer account than one looking with concern into body counts, etc.

Without an atrocity or two to blame on a contrived set of enemy's in a game with zero hope for gain, where would we be now? Let's not lose the tempo.

No change of regimen called for here, meanwhile. Assad, Putin evil; Hillary all the way.
