Kerry Announces New Plan Not to Talk About Failed Ceasefire
March 1, 2016
Long, talk drink of failure John Kerry is on his second failed
ceasefire in Syria in a matter of weeks. And he's got a bold new plan
for dealing with the fact that everyone is still shooting up Syria. Don't ask, don't tell.
This will be followed by a bold plan to ignore any Iranian violations of the nuclear deal and just hold more negotiations to create a mechanism for privately resolving any violations.
And people said that John Kerry was unqualified to get a cup of
coffee, let alone be America's top diplomat. I bet that Kerry could get a
cup of coffee almost without burning himself. But the ceasefire that
isn't, is producing all sorts of unintended results.
John Kerry said on Monday he had agreed with his Russian counterpart not to discuss alleged violations of a cessation of hostilities plan in Syria... Speaking at a news conference with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Kerry said he had talked with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and agreed not to "litigate ... in a public fashion" the reports of violations on both sides.So the plan is for Russia to keep violating the ceasefire while Kerry and the Europeans refuse to mention it. This is pure genius. They've really got Putin on the run now.
This will be followed by a bold plan to ignore any Iranian violations of the nuclear deal and just hold more negotiations to create a mechanism for privately resolving any violations.
Over the past month, the Kremlin has turned up the dial once again in its low intensity war in Ukraine’s east.Can someone give Obama another Nobel Peace Prize? Maybe an even bigger one covered in diamonds. Because he deserves it. He really does.
In September 2015, when the Kremlin decided to intervene in Syria, it reduced the violence in the Donbas and reined in local fighters who opposed this course. Before September, ceasefire violations had averaged 70 to 80 fire incidents per day, before dropping to 30 to 40.
