John Kerry praises Bashar al-Assad

[Arzamas 16]

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry praised Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Monday, saying that news that international disarmament experts had begun dismantling and destroying Syria's chemical weapons arsenal and the equipment used to produce it represented "a good beginning," and Assad deserved credit for honoring the terms of a deal reached last month to secure and destroy the regime's weapons.

Kerry was speaking at a joint news conference in Bali, alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The U.S. and Russia held their first high-level talks on the sidelines of an economic summit to discuss Syria, as well as the onset of an apparent warming between Iran and the West.

Kerry said the United States and Russia were "very pleased" with the progress made so far in destroying Syria's chemical weapons stocks, but added that Assad needed to continue to comply with U.N. demands.

Kerry also said that he and Lavrov had agreed to press the U.N. to set a date for a Syrian peace conference sometime in the second week of November.

International disarmament inspectors began work Sunday to destroy Syria's estimated 1,000-ton stockpile of chemical weapons. They're working against a Nov. 1 deadline set by the United Nations last month to destroy the Assad government's capability to produce the weapons.

Kerry and Lavrov also discussed Iran and its nuclear program. Officials from the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- the U.S., China, the Russian Federation, France and the United Kingdom -- and Germany will meet with representatives from Iran in Geneva on Oct. 15 to hold renewed talks on Iran's nuclear program.

Tehran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and says it is enriching uranium to levels needed for medical isotopes and reactor fuel.

Western powers, including the U.S., fear Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb and have imposed crippling economic sanctions to encourage Iran to curb its enrichment program.

I would love to see the faces of the leaders of SA and Turkey after this.

It looks like Assad will be staying in power. No wonder so many Saudi Arabians are so upset.

Each winning day in Syria postpones start of a great war. The Anglosaxones have always fought against Russia by proxy - Napoleon, Germans (twice). Whom will they put up this time? Europe has already no ballss , cut off completely , China is not so weak to manipulate it.
Islam terrorists ? But they can not defeat even Syria .
Fight themselves ? But it's not an Arab or African tribe bombing , Russia may respond .
So what to do ? They do not know themselves . But every day , authorities holding in Syria, Russian troops received new planes , tanks and missiles . All this makes the possibility of a major war less and less likely.
But if the Englosaxons do not start a big war - they will lose power over the world .
Here is such a dilemma at conceited masters of the world.

We see that the axis of Evil is the american-israeli-whabait one, not Iran-Syria-Hezbollah

I was wondering why many Saudis suddenly became anti-US...

There are these wars too: Afghanistan, Yougoslavia, Caucasus, Georgia, Ukrania, Bielorussia...

What do you mean by wars in Ukraine and Belorussia? We had no wars seens WW2.
Afganistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Yuogoslavia and other invasions of West - is just a positional strategiс fight. Preparations for great war.
But West's plans become crap because of Syria - Russia helps him and country still did not ruined. This puts the West in an awkward position. The crisis began after the war in Georgia. Shotdown of the U.S. budget - after fall an attack on Syria.

Even Israeli intelligence admits President Assad is winning. The Syrian Arab Army is about to retake the entire southern border with Jordan and Israel. And there is nothing the terrorists and their supporters can do about it.

The Americans know how you must stroke the ego of evil dictator playboys whenever they *do* do the right thing. :S

Napoléon was proxy of Anglosaxons ????

Napoléon was proxy of Anglosaxons ????

The French Revolution - the work of the English, mostly. As well as the Russian and Chinese and many others.
Napoleon was the brainchild of the Revolution. Of course, he did not obey the orders of the British and did not serve them directly. But he served the purpose of the British by his idiotic campaign against Russia - both rivals of Britain , France and Russia were at war against each other.
British rigged murder of Paul I - and Paul I was an ally of the French , and was about to send troops to India to get rid of along with the French the British from India.
As soon as Paul I was murdered, Russia immediately became an ally of England.

It was the colored revolutions, the USA have put their puppets there. There were 2 camps: pro-Russia and anti-Russia

Don't forget that now NATO control Yugoslavia, it was Russia who had a great influence before the NATO strikes, but Russia was to weak to react properly during the war.

Afghanistan was a real war for you, so is the 2nd Chechenia war, where we see a lot of wahabized terrorists financed by the saudis (loyal slaves of USA)

Don't forget also Georgia where the anti-Russia troops were armed with USA uniforms & weapons

Well agree that the so-called color revolutions - not the same with war. In Belarus, there was no color revolutions.
Yugoslavia under Tito has chosen its own path, separate from Russia. But this does not prevent the strengthening of ties between the modern and contemporary Russia and Serbia.
I just wanted to clarify that in the Ukraine and Belarus, there was no war, and I agree with the rest.
