RT: Lavrov: Unclear what exactly US is doing in Syria & why results so insignificant
The Russian Foreign Ministry has questioned the effectiveness of the US-led year-long air campaign in Syria, saying it’s unclear “why the results of so many combat sorties are so insignificant.” Failing to curb ISIS, the US has now “adjusted” its program.
“We have very few specifics which could explain what the US is exactly doing in Syria and why the results of so many combat sorties are so insignificant,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Russian channel NTV. “With, as far as I know, 25,000 sorties they [US-led air campaign] could have smashed the entire [country of] Syria into smithereens,” the minister noted.
WNU Editor: My take is that the Russian government was surprised by the U.S. refusal to meet their high-level delegation to discuss joint military operations .... US refuses to receive PM Medvedev’s delegation to coordinate anti-terrorist actions in Syria (RT), and are reacting accordingly. More here .... Russia Says US Refuses to Meet Delegation to Discuss Syria (ABC News/AP).
Sighhh .... This is also another example on how poisonous U.S. - Russian relations have become ... and a part of me is now starting to believe that it is going to get worse .... much worse.
Update: Russia's Lavrov says Washington declines deeper military talks on Syria (Reuters).

This is one of the reasons I've never been a fan of the Obama administration, or the President himself. Petty and arrogant. King $@@t on Turd Island.
Aside from that, this looks really cool.
